As he spent his time sketching shoes rather than studying, he was reportedly expelled from three schools. Although he is not formally trained, he attended Académie d'Art Roederer to study drawing and decorative arts. Having run away as a teenager to Egypt and India, Louboutin returned to Paris with a portfolio filled with sketches of fantastical heels. After approaching all of the major couture houses with his portfolio, Louboutin started his career at Charles Jourdan, one of Paris’ and the world’s most respected shoemakers.

The designer believes that his shoes have the ability to "make a woman look sexy, beautiful, to make her legs look as long as [he] can.

" The designer has collaborated with the likes of Alexander McQueen, Lanvin, Victor & Rolf, Roland Mouret , and Jean Paul Gaultier . Louboutin designed the sandals for Saint Laurent’s final runway collection, which eventually led to a legal battle regarding trademarking over the red soles of the shoes.
