Super-high heels can free women, says legendary French shoe designer Christian Louboutin, who insists that wearing his towering six-inch stilettos is a "form of liberty". While some feminists see vertiginous heels as sexual enslavement, Louboutin believes the opposite -- even if it means women
Paris - Super-high heels can free women, says legendary French shoe designer Christian Louboutin, who insists that wearing his towering six-inch stilettos is a"form of liberty".
While Louboutin also makes trainers and flat shoes, he admitted that when it comes to the spike-heeled classics that made his name:"I don't think about comfort when I design." "To be a woman is also about enjoying one's freedom to be feminine if you want. Why renounce when you can have them and flats," he said."I don't want people to look at my shoes and say: 'They look really comfortable!' The important thing is that people say: 'Wow, they're beautiful!'"If the shoes"stop you running", that is something"positive", he added.
But even as some luxury brands like Dior, led by feminist designer Maria Grazia Chiuri, have taken an axe to towering heels, Louboutin insisted they still had their place. "I started to draw them because of that sign," he said, which was put up to save the museum's parquet floors."I think the fact that high heels were forbidden played on the unconscious... there was also the mystery and the fetishistic side... the simple drawing of a high-heeled shoe is often associated with sexuality," he added.
