Christian Louboutin happy to stick to shoes, thanks!

Seven things you will learn from this interview with Christian Louboutin for Stella magazine:

1. He still has the same office in Paris, and still rides a Vespa.
2. Fashion doesn't inspire him: 'It's probably one of the things that least inspires me. Only when I work with designers... Otherwise I never really think about clothes.'
3. He doesn't care if you don't like heels, he won't make you wear them: 'I'm not a fascist. I would never oblige people to wear high heels if they don't like it.'
4. He left school at 16, and has never regretted it.
5. He trained to be a landscaper before becoming a shoe designer.
6. He knows how to swing on a trapeze.
7. He isn't interested in designing clothes: 'There are so many good designers, so why would I put my name on clothes when I never wanted to do it?'
