Christian Louboutin, the man behind his eponymous shoe label, is more than a footwear designer. His universe also spans performance, with a stint as guest creator at the famed Crazy Horse cabaret in Paris; beauty — he has a self-named cosmetics line; a foray into the world of hospitality through the Vermelho Hotel, a small 13-room five-star hotel tucked away about an hour-and-a-half south of Lisbon, and more recently, design, through a collection of chairs in collaboration with his old friend Pierre Yovanovitch.
