Jimmy Choo
The Jimmy Choo brand was founded in May 1996, when bespoke British shoemaker Jimmy Choo partnered with former Vogue fashion assistant Tamara Mellon to launch a line of high-end ready-to-wear shoes.
Also part of the founding group was Choo’s wife’s niece, Sandra Choi, who started working with him in the 1989 and soon took over designing the shoes. Choi still remains the creative director and designer of Jimmy Choo and has helped turn it into a red-carpet essential for Hollywood stars, writing one of the biggest fashion success stories of the modern era.
Carrie Bradshaw loved and lost her Choos in a memorable “Sex and the City” episode during the early 2000s. Beyoncé sang about them. They’ve also been a favorite of the British royal family (from Princess Diana to Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle) and worn by American first ladies on both sides of the aisle, including Michelle Obama and Melania Trump.
Choo himself left the brand in 2001 as part of the company’s first sale to Phoenix Equity Partners, and Mellon departed in 2011 after the brand’s acquisition by Labelux. Jimmy Choo was purchased for $1.2 billion in 2017 by Capri Holdings, which in late 2024 will become part of Tapestry.
