“Inspirational images of women triggered my imagination; those captured by the late, great Helmut Newton, and also iconic style figures such as the sultry French film actress Anouk Aimee, and a touch of Mrs Robinson from The Graduate.” Tamara Mellon, Founder and President, Jimmy Choo.
The notion of female empowerment has long been a mainstay of Jimmy Choo’s lexicon. Now, via bold print, provocative lines, and all-out sex appeal, Autumn Winter ushers in a host of beautiful, confidence-inducing styles.
The essence of femininity and strength comes to the fore in FELINE, an evocative 110mm design which comprises sumptuous navy satin, corsetry lacing, and snake elaphe. A new urban energy is conquered in NICA, a roomy shopper in super soft black grainy leather with silver chain hardware which is a must-have for autumn’s ultimate urban uniform. The popular BLYTHE, a bold double zipped handbag featuring four, gold buckled stud straps on each side, debuts now in fierce, tobacco leopard print pony. Two Jimmy Choo signatures – fringe and studs – explode in TITA. TITA, a darling fringed little clutch, is revisited and refashioned this season in red nappa, elaphe and suede Jimmy Choo’s iconic SKY, a curvaceous and capacious chocolate brown hobo with arched handle comprises tier-upon-tier of studded frills. Who can resist the easy, uber-luxe, lightweight appeal of SILVIA, a slouchy suede shearling camel carryall, roomy enough for whatever the weekend might bring turn heads with CHANDRA, a Bordeaux-coloured printed mock-croc fold-over clutch with gilt-edged bracelet detail.
For star-studded evenings, look no further than Jimmy Choo’s decadent disco shoe JIGSAW, a 120mm platform heeled sandal in metallic suede anthracite studded in a constellation of generously sized Swarovski crystals: its dance floor-ready and guaranteed to arouse. Clean lines and simple elegance resonate in JULIA, a 85mm open-toe suede sandal embellished with racy chains. Raise temperatures in JOYCE, a multi-strapped two-tone leopard print pony sandal lifted up on a 85mm heel.
In the Philippines, Jimmy Choo is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc. (SSI) and is located at Greenbelt 4, Ayala Center, Makati City.
