About The Brand

In the late 1980s, shoemaker Jimmy Choo established his workshop in London's East End, initially gaining attention for his ability to recreate high-heeled shoes in various colors, reminiscent of Manolo Blahnik's designs. Sandra Choi, Choo's niece by marriage, joined him in 1989, taking on the role of shoe designer. By the early 1990s, Choo's clientele expanded to include global celebrities like Diana, Princess of Wales. The brand's first ready-to-wear shoes debuted in September 1992 at a store on Sloane Street. A pivotal moment occurred in 1995 when Tamara Mellon, formerly a Vogue fashion assistant, proposed the idea of a luxury ready-to-wear shoe line. With financial backing from Tom and Ann Yeardye, the company was officially founded in May 1996 as Jimmy Choo Limited. The ensuing years saw the brand's rise to prominence through strategic celebrity endorsements and appearances, culminating in a significant investment from Phoenix Equity Partners in 2001. This marked a new chapter for the brand, with Robert Bensoussan assuming the role of CEO and Tamara Mellon as president, ultimately leading to Jimmy Choo's continued success in the luxury fashion industry.
