The economy is in the dumps, but ladies still know about Jimmy Choo shoes. $500 for a pair of shoes? Yikes. The Recessionistas' dream is coming true with news that Jimmy Choo will collaborate with H&M for a shoe and bag line in Fall 2009 (November 14) to select H&M stores around the world. That's not all...metrosexuals are also in the game with a Jimmy Choo for H&M collection of men's shoes and accessories as well. The price-range is stated to be between $60-$200 -- check out two pairs from the line in the photo -- oh la!
Who is Jimmy Choo? He's Jimmy Choo Yeang Keat, a London-based Malaysian of Hakka Chinese descent who was borne into a family of shoemarkers. He studied shoe-making in London, and co-founded Jimmy Choo Ltd with British Vogue accessories editor Tamara Mellon. In 2001, Choo sold his 50% stake, and now he's the creator behind Jimmy Choo Couture, with Tamara Mellon taking over the Jimmy Choo line that's coveted the world over.
