Named after one of Paris‘ seediest areas, the Pigalle quickly became a best-seller and remains one of Louboutin’s most iconic designs. The appeal lies partly in the shoe’s ability to firm a woman’s calf muscles and raise her rear. “I would say that the Pigalle is pretty much all about sex because it leaves all the body language to the body,” he says. Available in a number of styles — from a simple one in black patent leather to a blinged-out version covered in thousands of Swarovski crystals — it “obliges you to feel your body.”
