Christian Louboutin
Christian Louboutin has built his brand on those infamous sky-high, red lacquered soles—the story goes that he was inspired by a bottle of nail polish, and took it to the bottom of a pair he was designing. Since then, the line has reached icon status and expanded to include everything from lipstick and nail polish (yes, in that famed shade of ‘Louboutin red’ of course) to handbags.
