Feet and shoes feature in many of our most powerful myths and fairytales, from Cinderella and Puss in Boots to The Wizard of Oz. Modern-day social anthropologists often trace the popularity of high heels to the rise of “stiletto feminism”, which encompasses both traditional femininity and power.
Artists have long explored the shoe as a fetish object. Andy Warhol was obsessed - he first drew them simply as fashion illustrations, but they became the focus of a series of famously sought-after screen prints in the 1980s. Tarantino makes sure to have women’s feet star in all his films, and Helmut Newton frequently fetishised high heels in his photography.
So what is the big deal with the heel ?
Just a handful of luxury stalwarts are so synonymous with a colour that consumers can instantly equate the shade with the name. So, how does a brand own a tone, and should smaller labels try?
When LVMH agreed the $16 Billion deal to purchase the Tiffany and Co., the luxury conglomerate was also buying a particular shade of blue. Pantone 1837, also known as Robin’s egg blue, is in the minds of consumers globally, Tiffany Blue, so powerfully does it signify the storied American jewellers visual identity and heritage.
And just like Pantone 1837 means Tiffany, so does a certain lacquer red colour means Louboutin.
Often reduced to one signature characteristic in footwear design the red-soled shoe, French designer Christian Louboutin ultimately redefined the meaning of the luxury footwear business. In examining the history of accessory and shoe design, these shoes are more than just a status symbol, concept, or trademark/counterfeit disaster, they are legitimate works of art in their own right.
Red-soled shoes are also the centrepiece of Louboutin’s childhood fascination with costuming, cited as his biggest inspiration in turning into a fashion designer. Louboutin’s personal predilections before fashion design were first hinted at in episodes of nocturnal mischief.

Every girl needs at least one pair of Louboutins! I remember getting my first pair. It was a good day👠
I always thought that the red sole had a much darker meaning than his black stain / red nail polish explanation.
Yes please! I would love some! They are fab !
Wow beautiful story shared about how the red sole was birthed ...Thank you 🙌🏽👠❤️
Glad you enjoyed it
These expensive, these is red bottoms
These is bloody shoes
BEAUTIFUL and the shoes too
I've seen some of the Warhol shoe polaroids in the private collection of Naeem Khan! I worked for his wife in the aughts so I'd been to their loft a few times. He and his wife have 3 or 4 which I liked because they had a glittery ink. The movie adaptation of The Namesake shot a scene in his Soho loft and they had to move the Warhols because it would have necessitated a payment paid to the Warhol estate, or so I was told. Another artist's work left on the walls posed no financial inconvenience.
this was amazing to watch. thank you so much. you really did Him great justice.
Thanks Nitro ! Appreciate you kind words. x
I thought the shoes on the Marie Antoinette movie were Manola Blanik
I got a lot of loubs I love mine
Who ever thought that shoes / heels had so many hidden meanings. I now understand a bit better, on the appeal of the heel.
Elvis, Warhol, Chaucer, F Scott Fitzgerald, Freud and Tarantino were all obsessed by womens feet.
This is done so well !! Thank You, I'm Subscribing, NOW !!❤ 👠
