Raised in Paris’ cabaret district, Christian Louboutin began working in the dressing room at dance hall Folies Bergère when he was just 16. These ‘Fliketta’ pumps are made from glittered canvas that’s woven with a chain-like pattern. They’re set on a 100mm stiletto heel and held secure by slim straps – one elongates your legs while the other highlights the d’Orsay silhouette.
