Christian Louboutin gives the Iranina an 85mm heel that flares toward the ground, with a flash of red on its inner curve. The knee-high shaft is cut in suede calf leather in a deep chocolate brown, and an angled seam crosses the ankle. The toe is softly squared. Dark brown suede gives the strong heel a warmer surface.

Christian Louboutin gives the Iranina an 85mm heel that flares toward the ground, with a flash of red on its inner curve. The knee-high shaft is smooth black calf leather with a soft sheen, an angled seam across the ankle and a squared, rounded toe. A firm stance and a plain face: the boot needs nothing added.

Christian Louboutin's Fannylove booty keeps the line's rounded toe and slim 85mm heel, cut here as an ankle boot in black suede calf leather. A single vertical seam runs down the side of the shaft, which stops just above the ankle. The sole shows the house's red under the arch. There is nothing on it but the shape.

Christian Louboutin's Ira sits on a 55mm heel that flares toward the ground, with a flash of red on its inner curve. The ankle boot is cut in suede calf leather in a deep chocolate brown, with a side zip, an angled seam across the ankle and a softly squared toe. The proportions are compact: a short shaft, a low flare, one dark colour.

The Pigalle is Christian Louboutin's pointed-toe pump, here on a 100mm stiletto heel. The upper is black patent calf leather with a high-gloss surface and a low, scooped throat that shows the arch. The sole is red. One colour and one line, and the gloss does the rest.

Christian Louboutin's Fannylove pump pairs an almond toe with an 85mm sculptural heel, slim from the back and more structured in profile, with a glimpse of the house's signature red at the arch. Cut in Cosme brown suede calf leather with a tonal lining and padded insole, it rests on an 'Everlasting Red' sole, coated for lasting colour.
