Raised in Paris’ famed red light district, Christian Louboutin began working in the dressing room at cabaret music hall Folies Bergère when he was just 16. It was there that he began sewing sequins onto costumes before honing his skills as a cobbler under celebrated French fashion designer Charles Jourdan.
Inspired by his teenage years in Paris, “Fliketta’s” asymmetric cross strap is the image of understated glamour. This 100mm d’Orsay heel is finished with a chic receded heel and slender ankle strap. You can buy this pointy-toe pump in glittered canvas and nude, black, and red patent leather. If you think the price is too high, you can find great alternatives from $10 at JustFab and ShoeDazzle.
