Christian Louboutin curates a selection of go-tos, we like to call icons as each piece has that something that translates effortlessly for the day or come sundown. And whilst they all have something in common, they all live multiple lives as different as the women who wear them.

Uptown, Pigalle is taking her notoriously flattering silhouette out to brunch on a kitten heel whilst over on the other side of town, Kate’s getting ready to take the boardroom by storm with a low-cut vamp that means business.

Meanwhile, the notorious Hot Chick with her seductively curved top line changes her attitude on a whim with a click of her stiletto heels. Later, Iriza decides to come down from her pedestal for a night out on the town in a mid-sized heel. You’ll find her on the dance floor showing off her arch (and her best moves) with a half d’Orsay silhouette that was simply born to shine.

Designed to suit every style and to be worn for any occasion, think of these pieces as the foundations of the modern woman’s wardrobe, your sartorial saving graces that will never steer you wrong.

So whilst you may not be able predict the future, you’ll always be able to rely on the guaranteed style appeal of a Christian Louboutin icon.
