Christian Louboutin Ultra Rare Museum Ultima Ballerine Pair Size 37.

Including boxes and display stands. Never available as a pair.
Ultimate fetish shoe.


Shoe designer Christian Louboutin is known for the arching profile of his signature high-heeled styles with their flash of lacquer red soles. In this design, more concept piece than wearable fashion, he exposes the whole underside of the shoe by attenuating the stiletto heel to such an extreme height that the wearer must balance on her toes, with only the most minimal supporting balance at the very back of her heel. This en pointe silhouette appears in fetish wear as boots with the foot positioned so that mobility is virtually precluded. In this position, however, the shortening of the calf muscle introduces a greater contour to the leg. The black patent leather and incapacitating stiletto heel invite the inevitable louche sexual associations, but Louboutin also evokes the refined and codified aesthetics of the ballet with his accurate replication of a dancer's pointe shoe. The designer has been quoted as saying that he wants to give the illusion of a lengthened leg to his clients. With this extreme strategy a woman gains an inch or two of illusion, if at the cost of comfort. These designs suggest that the artifice employed to attain an idealized fashionable beauty is not without its challenges.

<h2>Christian Louboutin, luxury designer of glamourous shoes.</h2>
<p>The House of Christian Louboutin, now an indisputable reference in the domain of luxury footwear, has made vertiginous heels his emblem. Even if the brand has widened its range of articles since it first started, now proposing ballet pumps and leather lace-ups, as well as <a href="/women-bags/christian-louboutin/">a line of high-end leather goods</a>, high-heeled ladies' shoes with those immediately identifiable red soles still represent its signature offering.</p>
<h2>A teenage passion for women's footwear.</h2>
<p>Even as a young boy, Christian Louboutin liked to go to the Folies Bergères to observe the shoes worn by the dancers there. His rather precocious fascination quickly led him to design shoes and his dream of coming up with the perfect curve finally steered him in the direction of French shoemaker Louis Jourdan, with whom he began his career in 1982. Ten years later, Christian Louboutin founded his own eponymous brand. He got the idea for the scarlet sole, now so characteristic of the label's shoes, from an unusual set of circumstances. One day, the designer caught himself watching his assistant applying red Chanel polish to her nails. He borrowed the jar from her and started painting the sole of one of his models with red nail varnish. This supposedly inconsequential act would give rise to the fashion house's instantly recognisable signature: <a href="/sale/women-shoes/heels/christian-louboutin/">footwear with the iconic red soles</a>. </p>
<p>Christian Louboutin rapidly became the favourite shoemaker of a host of couturiers. Lanvin, Chloé, Givenchy, Jean-Paul Gaultier and Yves Saint Laurent, all the leading names in fashion were queueing to adopt Louboutin's ladies' shoes to enhance their ready-to-wear collections. From the Simple Pumps to the Biancas, <a href="/women-shoes/christian-louboutin/so-kate/">from the So Kates</a> to the Pigalles, the designer's collections of heels have become legendary and fashion buffs dream of adding these exceptional pieces to their wardrobe. In 2006, the luxury label inaugurated a shoemaking workshop for made-to-measure leather shoes, coveted by celebrities including Mika, Dita von Teese and Arielle Dombasle.</p>
<h2>High heels, at the heart of the House of Louboutin.</h2>
<p>Today, Louboutin also proposes a full range of leather goods, but the ladies' high heels are still the mainstay of the brand. With several different models, including the open-toed Very Privés, <a href="/women-shoes/heels/christian-louboutin/bianca/">the round-toed Biancas</a> and the pointed-toed Pigalles, Louboutin high heels embrace vertiginous heights and classic lines, the models sometimes adorned with pointed studs for a rock 'n' roll feel. Leather is the designer's material of choice, going so far as to produce models in exotic materials, like lizard, alligator, eel and ostrich skin. To break with tradition and bring a little newness to his signature designs, the shoemaker will use a mono colour or print to dress his creations in canvas, or be so bold as to use transparent or multicoloured PVC. </p>
<p>Over the years, the French designer has widened the selection of leather shoes he offers, now proposing ballet pumps, lace-up flatties and sneakers. High heels are, however, the shoes that best embody the essence of Louboutin. Among these, we find :</p>
