Temperature influences Louboutin’s creativity. When designing a summer collection he needs to sweat. “It’s much easier for me to think sandals when it’s boiling outside. You’re thinking, ‘Oh my god! The girl should be wearing this!'” Likewise, it’s easier for him to dream up suede and coyote fur boots like the Toundra while visiting chilly climes. “I just don’t think about fur boots when it’s 100 degrees under the sun.”
