Christian Louboutin chats with Manish Mishra about his latest Paris Fashion Week extravaganza & why India continues to remain a lifelong inspiration

Seeing RED

From alchemising local cultures with his audacious savoir-faire to crafting collectibles at the crossroads of art and design, Christian Louboutin has seduced the fashion world like no other. Interviewing the designer over a Zoom call is like deep diving into the cerebral and the fantastical. Punctuated with cinema, arts, pop culture and design, Louboutin's worldview is made richer by his travels and driven by an endless curiosity for the whimsical and the wonderful. I compliment him on the rodeo shirt he's wearing, and he shares an interesting anecdote about it. "I collaborated with John Galliano for the Maison Margiela couture show (2024 Artisanal Collection), and he gave me this shirt, which I'm very fond of," he says with a smile.

The Subtle Grandeur of Narain Niwas Palace

There's a kind of quiet that belongs only to old homes. At Narain Niwas Palace, it hums in the walls, drifts through the painted corridors, and settles among the mango and tamarind trees. Built in 1928 by General Amar Singh Ji Kanota as a retreat from the city's noise, the palace remains under the care of his family. Its fifty-two rooms, each carrying its own blend of antique furniture and hand-painted detail, feel more like a home still in use than a hotel on display. The pale lime walls seem to hold sunlight long after dusk, and the courtyards breathe with the slow rhythm of a place untouched by time.
