Just stumbled upon the latest designer inspiration of Christian Louboutin’s famous red sole, and this interpretation doesn’t come from the source you would think but rather a well-known respected designer, Italian fashion designer, Donatella Versace. Makes you think: If it were any other designer or no name label that copied the red bottom sole, would we scream “replica or a blatant copy?”
When you think designer shoes and red soles, only one name pops to mind – a no brainer, Christian Louboutin. CL is a standout shoe maker, whose designs are instantly recognizable with the trademark red leather sole. History has it, he got the idea from one of his employees. One day he saw his employee putting red nail polish on, and at that moment he instantly know he was destined to paint his soles red. Since then, it became the signature of his shoes.
Price wise you can find both red sole shoes by the respected designers at your local department store carrying a retail price in the same range.

I like Versace’s style and all of his designers.

Those Versace ones are sexy!
Mr Louboutin did not invent the colour red, in fact it has been Valentino’s trademark sole colour for years and years. (about 40 I think)
