We are constantly inspired by fashion, art and the way these two worlds influence each other. While designing Fall 2010, we envisioned the kind of girl who’s an art enthusiast, the girl you see in galleries in every city. She has an effortless, eclectic way of dressing and putting things together in unexpected ways. She’s smart, cool and aware of things going on in the world around her. 

Fall’s color palette was inspired by Picasso’s Mosqueteros exhibit and Gerhard Richter’s abstract paintings. Neutral black, gray and camel are accentuated with bright pops of tomato red and electric blue. The collection focuses on a utilitarian edge infused with feminine details—the play of oilskin leather against sequins, loose knits against feathers, shearling with painterly prints. Slouchy, oversized silhouettes are worn with slim pants and workman’s-style boots. Layering is key—capes, jackets, coats, knit vests and sweaters. Accessories speak to ready-to-wear, completing the looks with square but slouchy bags, hoods, fingerless gloves and belts that are cinched over and under everything.

 For Autumn Winter 2010, Jimmy Choo turns its focus to a tougher – albeit elegantly refined – sense of urban chic, with a line up of strong graphic shapes and bold design details such as sturdy lug soles, and dominatrix-corsetry lacing. Infuse to the mix luxurious shearling, a dash of leopard printed pony, and a host of Jimmy Choo design signatures – rivets, snake, and fringe – and feel empowered.

“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.
