Jimmy Choo Turns 15 and launches Crystal collection

It's hard to believe but Jimmy Choo is turning 15. Yes, its been 15 years since choo-mania struck the world the brand is celebrating their Crystal anniversary by launching a Crystal Collection. The Crystal Anniversary collection is the first of a series of projects that will be unveiled during the coming year to celebrate the 15 year heritage of the brand. Within this new Crystal Anniversary collection, the signature jeweled shoes which helped make the brand famous are updated and modernized for a new generation.

"In celebrating our 15 years I wanted to create a modern glamour that stands for the style and imagination of Jimmy Choo. I was inspired by vintage jewellery to add sparkling and luminous details to iconic Jimmy Choo shapes. But these are not the jeweled shoes of the past and instead show jewels in a modern and edgy way. " Tamara Mellon, Founder and Chief Creative Officer, Jimmy Choo.
