Little Book of Christian Louboutin is the story of the iconic shoe designer best known for the striking red sole!

This book is so interesting, it has all about Christian and how the brand was formed and then evolved through the years. I watched a documentary about him once, but it is so nice to be able to go through the book and learn even more.

I absolutely loved the photos, especially the celebrities! I love Louboutin and would love to own a pair of the classic stilettos, but I especially like the unique shoe designs too!

This is a great series by @welbeckpublish and I hope to get more by other designers - they will make a great collection!

je travaille dans la maison qui traduit ce livre, j'en ai bouffé pendant 3 semaines :D p.5

en vrai le personnage est fun, la lecture est assez sympa, y'a des belles chaussures (et y'a du rouge, c'est beau le rouge)

Very inspiring to read about an artist who came from a very humble upbringing and learned to excel at his art and craft throughout the years. I value and respect artists persistent in their art, and remains faithful to their design and style.

3.5 stars
Not bad, but there isn’t as much to say on this luxury house so it wasn’t as interesting as some of the other books

Une collection très intéressante mais j'aurais voulu encore plus d'informations. Peut être que son histoire plus récente rendent le livre moins complet que les autres little book que j'ai pu lire.

I hate to say that that I had high expectations, this book only highlights all the good things that happened to the brand. I wanted to see how I can learn from this book. And I was highly dissapointed.

It’s like reading a magazine with pictures and marketing.

Do me a favor, please don’t read. Save your time
