When a woman buys shoes, she takes them out of the box and looks at herself in the mirror. But she isn’t really looking at her shoes – she’s looking at herself. If she likes herself, then she likes the shoes. Christian Louboutin
When I’m drawing, I’m drawing with the light, being completely open and creative. I can’t draw in the evening.

I draw according to the place. Christian Louboutin
A house is very much like a portrait. I cannot disconnect houses from people. The thought of arrangement, the curves and straight lines. It gives an indication of the character at the heart of it. Christian Louboutin
