Great Big Pictures
OMG ladies!!! This book is beyond beautiful. At first I was slightly hesitant about paying so much for a book, but let me tell you it's WORTH it! Not only is the binding wonderful (wrapped in leather) but the pictures are spectacular. Large, glossy and tons of photos. Put it on your NEED list!

AMAZING!!!
Okay, I don't really ever write reviews on anything, but I had to say something about this book. It is in one word AMAZING! I was debating about spending so much on a book, but when I got it in the mail a few days later, I knew it was worth it before I even started looking through it. First off, it's really heavy because the hard cover is made from leather. The inside is just as great. I stayed up all night and read the whole book the very first day! I find the book so precious that I will not let anyone touch it unless they wash their hands :) after all, the leather is a really light pink color. Buy the book if you are a Louboutin fan, don't think about it!

This book is perfect for a shoe lover or a Christian Louboutin fan. I love this book it is beautifully made. It looks like a beautiful leather-bound type cover.

The Beautiful pictures chronicles all the shoes & ads from Christian Louboutin. Excellent purchase!!

Product Description
An extraordinary monograph created by Christian Louboutin, renowned for his beautifully crafted handmade shoes, in particular his elegantly sexy stilettos. This stunning volume, with a fanciful and intricate pop-up, an elaborate foldout cover, and dramatic still-life photography, evokes the artistry and theatricality of Louboutin's shoe designs.
Celebrated for his vertiginously high stilettos with their signature lacquer-red soles, Louboutin has achieved cult status with celebrities as well as fashionistas. His eclectic and exotic designs, often incorporating feathers, beads, and sequins, are a constant and dramatic presence on the red carpet and in nightclubs and restaurants the world over.
Louboutin's first book, this monograph highlights the extraordinary range of his couture, from his iconic and glamorous creations to his fetishistic pieces, including his collaborations with David Lynch, meant more for the bedroom than the street. New photography captures Louboutin's artistic sensibilities, while an in-depth interview reveals Louboutin's life, travels, and inspirations, presenting a very personal look at the man behind the shoes.
A work of art in itself, with a five-piece foldout binding and a pop-up, Christian Louboutin is an enticing and revelatory look at the most important luxury shoe designer of our day.
The book is divided into six chapters. The first chapter covers Louboutin's biography, his start as a designer from his work for Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent to his first boutique in 1992, and his early creations and influences illustrated with many never-seen-before photos from his personal archives; chapter two features the Louboutin boutiques around the world showcasing the varied and extravagant interior designs and displays; chapter three is "20 years of design" and highlights his shoe designs from over the years with all-new still-life photography, as well as editorial art; chapter four features the spectacular interiors of Louboutin's homes in Paris and Luxor, Egypt, and behind-the-scenes shots from his studios and workshops; chapter five focuses on his creative collaborations with David Lynch, of a series called "Fetish," of limited-edition shoes by Louboutin and limited-edition photos by Lynch; chapter six is a complete catalogue raisonne of his work, with photos of all 120 shoe designs.
