Soled on Red
" Red is the great clarifier - bright and revealing. I can't imagine becoming
bored with red - it would be like becoming bored with the person you love "

Analysis: Famous for his red soled shoes Louboutin is part Egyptian, hence the Sphinx portrayal. He has a trapeze in his studio which he uses. The red soles came about when he noticed a girl painting her nails with red nail varnish; he borrowed the varnish and painted the soles. Here we have a bottle of his nail varnish falling off the trapeze onto the shoe. The numbers are the pantone numbers of the shade of red which he always uses. The hieroglyphics spell out his name. There is also a pair of his shoes hidden.
