Shoe of the Night: Christian Louboutin

Caught these bad two steps on Nicole. I told you on Personal that she was sick so excuse her style. Did you know that the bottom of Louboutin's shoes weren't always red? It was during a runway show, while watching his shoes on the models as they walk he felt that something was missing. It is said that the idea for the red bottoms came from one of his assistants that was wearing red Chanel nail polish. Now a days when you purchase your Louboutin's from stores like Neiman Marcus what do you get with them? A bag and a box? Pish posh! When Louboutin opened his boutique in Paris he gave his patrons free coffee. The only boutique to date that has a similar practice is Yves Saint Laurent, where they offer you either water or champaign. More domestic boutiques should adopt that policy, you have a client list that is full of trust fund children, celebrities and CEO's so why not cater to them?
Just in case you didn't get the point yet:
