After 20 Years, Jimmy Choo Is Still the Red Carpet Shoe for Models and Actresses
Jimmy Choo celebrated 20 years of sky-high stilettos last night with a party in New York’s Meatpacking District, where Mary J. Blige performed and the likes of Diane Kruger, Sara Sampaio, Taylor Hill and Kaia Gerber attended. The brand may be two decades old, but Sandra Choi became sole creative director three years ago, and plans to invigorate the already buzzy company. “Nine out of 10 red carpets, Jimmy Choo is there – that is certainly an achievement,” she said. “I think Jimmy Choo can be more than just ultra-glamorous. It can be fun and creative. There’s a side that I really think I can push, to make it a bit more urban, a bit more accessible for every woman.” Still, you can’t deny the heritage of Jimmy Choo. Kruger, wearing a Faith Connexion jumpsuit and an Isabel Marant jacket with her Choos, remembered “my very first red carpet in Cannes – they made a special pair of shoes for me,” she said. “They’ve been really great supporters; I love them and I love their shoes.”
