Christian Louboutin on Balancing Personal Identity and Public Brand | BoF VOICES 2021

[@lianalonge1984]

He seems so humble and has a wonderful personality with a great sense of humor. 🥰

[@miriamyuji]

He is so authentic and it applies to how he does his work as well. It's wild to think about, as someone whose studied and worked in business since the age of 18, that putting your passion first is possible. It feels so risky. Which is why balancing personal identity and public brand has been such a big question mark for me. But basically, what Christian Louboutin is showing, is that public brand comes from personal identity. No overthinking involved.

Love this interview. Love my Louboutins! Thank you 🥰

I am African, yet I am white...I have over 400 years of African ancestors Africa has every shade under the sun, not just the colour of dark brown and black

[@biutifulmediauk8856]

By your last name I can assume your South African and if you roll back the clock 400 years slavery was a thing you can have history in a place and still not belong there your ancestors came to a land they had no right to and claimed it as their own because they felt they were morally superior and conquered it by force also saying that Africa had all shades means nothing most white peoples on the continent are descendants of slavers and people who make people suffer

[@RedditGrapevine]

Missed the point completely. Colour is only an indicator of his lineage, not the reason why he’s African, which is what made him feel “different” in a predominately white-looking household and in his environment.

[@nessrach6207]

White people are not indigenous to Africa, so WE universally fail to even understand your point.

[@Ric419]

Good interview, but very little to do with the conversation on not losing yourself behind the brand

[@Yukiyau-NgaLai11128]

Thank you for sharing miracle life story🥰 When Louboutin becomes real-life mentor of humanity from luxurious public brand, it's extremely magical 🙏

I was expecting an interview but it was a HR video article.

Thanks

[@shimmerychick]

the title does not correspond to the subject of the talk

[@amirathealtruist]

It does the whole second half

[@elainetorpy3885]

Excellent inspirational interview 😊👍🏼

[@JB09_]

He is such a humble down to earth creative man. But, the lady that is interviewing has to shift into a negative racist context conversation - I think people are collectively going through some sort of breakdown the need to TELL, their truth about racist or suffering “ Generational Traumas” OMG why do I need to relieve or exult the traumas or my ancestors, instead of being an eternal VICTIM - Two things my ancestors taught me “ No one can offend you without your permission!” Also choose to celebrate with Joy those who brought you up, that paved the way with their energy. I CAN’T STAND this political agenda I need to show weakness to be accepted, being strong and authentic, that is now an act of rebellion.

[@JuanPabloPenaRosas]

I love the shoes he is wearing but cannot find them in my size 46 in Geneva… they are beautiful… Christian, would you make them for me? My birthday is 20 November. They say I am also from Egypt but I am Venezuelan but from unknown background (bastard side)…

[@ALICIA-xr4wx]

Lady, this is an interview, not a college cultural thesis! Who picked her?

[@kevinm8431]

😅

[@JB09_]

Yes 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 excellent comment.

[@Palestinian_holocaust]

She is very much of a CULTURAL MARXIST and vomiting black supremacy

[@OrganicMachoCapitalist]

This interviewer does a very bad job. She doesnt really think, she doesnt really listen, she floats in her own fantasy world. And the guy is super humble and very interesting....

[@nessrach6207]

The interviewer wasn't good. At all.

[@CarsonDouglas]

🙄

[@Sallyy150]

Egyptians have such a rich history of many layers, one of them is the Arabic layer, that doesn’t make Egyptians Arabs. It is painful to equate the 1st and most great civilization on Earth with a small nomadic group.

[@juggernaut911]

Of course they make the interview into this whole African bit. Just talk about the designers life. Why do you have to turn it into some BLM crap
