Jimmy Choo - The king of heels

Renowned fashion designer Jimmy Choo, co-founder of one of the most iconic luxury shoe labels in the world. I caught up with the man himself to talk all things London Fashion Week and his God son Reggie Hung's latest collection "Genavant- Step to Elegance"

Malaysian born fashion designer based in the United Kingdom.

For those that are lucky enough to own their own pair of Jimmy Choo shoes then you know how divine they are. For the rest of us sometimes just watching them in magazines or paraded on Sex In The City episodes was enough but most definitely meeting the man in person was a true delight!

London-based Genavant, founded by world-renowned shoe designer Jimmy Choo and his godson, jewelry designer Reggie Hung, presented its debut collection of jeweled shoes at London Fashion Week.

The spring/summer 2019 collection, which will also be on show at the first ever China International Import Expo in Shanghai in November, is made up of bejeweled shoes with precious stones such as rubies, jade and sapphire embellishing each piece.

just look at these exquisite shoes!

The collection was unveiled at a presentation event inspired by Wong Kar-wai's 2000 film In the Mood for Love.Against a backdrop recalling the bustling hub of 1940's Shanghai, the shoes were worn by East Asian models dressed in bespoke qipaos, in a setting of old-world China with hints of Western influences.The season's iconic shoe is named the Flying Cloud, which represents Genavant's innovative and contemporary take on traditional craft.
