I can’t believe that Jimmy Choo is only celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, I don’t know about you, but I feel like they have been making celebrities feet look spectacular for a lot longer. Well to celebrate such a huge milestone the luxury footwear label is launching its ‘Icon’ collection this autumn, featuring 15 original designs from the company’s archives.
Among the Icons is the Marlene (above) that Carrie wore in Season 3 of Sex and the City, as you will remember Carrie lost this purple and blue suede and feather platform running to catch the Staten Island Ferry. You will also be able to buy the pointy-toe stiletto that Tamara Mellon wore when she received her OBE. One piece of information that wasn’t released was the price of the heels or whether they will be limited editions. But I think you can imagine that they will fly off the shelves!!
There is also a coffee book, Jimmy Choo XV, which will document the shoes’ with sketches and photo spreads shot by the likes of Mario Testino and Terry Richardson, as well of course paparazzi shots of your favourite celebrities wearing their Choos. I am hoping that this is going to be no more than £50 as I bet it will be spectacular, but as with the shoes no hints were given at the price. What is nice though is that 10% of the sales from the book will benefit the Jimmy Choo Foundation, a charity set up by Tamara Mellon for at-risk women.
