The best of Jimmy Choo, as selected by the friends and family of the house.
Harry Nuriev
Jimmy Choo ‘Ixia 95’ pumps in patent leather
‘I chose Ixia because it immediately reminded me of the statement shoe I created for Design Miami last year: an oversized shoe that could not be contained within the store, extending beyond the perimeter and appearing to break through the window. For me, the shoe becomes a symbol of willpower and feminine strength. It is powerful, almost architectural, but also delicate. Working with scale is an important part of my practice, as it reminds us that we can be both strong and fragile, monumental and small, at the same time.’
Lorenzo Posocco
Jimmy Choo ‘Scarlett 95’ pumps in leopard-print pony
‘The pair you’ll reach for again and again. Quietly sophisticated. Endlessly versatile. Always the right choice. Sleek enough for everything. Bold enough for anything. Love.’
Camille Charrière
Jimmy Choo ‘Agathe 85’ knee-high boots in shiny crocodile-embossed leather
‘The best part about easing into fall? Boots boots boots. I like to pick a style and run with it for the season because uniforms are the backbone of personal style. Obviously, this is a fancy boot because of its croc and kitten heel, but in that effortless 1990s kinda way, as personified by Jennifer Aniston.’
Conner Ives
Jimmy Choo ‘72138’ sandals in suede with feather embellishment
‘Slightly biased here, as I helped work on the archive collection with Sandra and Alex Fury, but my favourite pair is the feather sandals. For me, this is Jimmy Choo at its finest: it’s a beautiful, gorgeously made shoe in a bright lilac suede, with a feather on the strap. But what has to be acknowledged is the pop culture impact this shoe had. This is the shoe that Carrie Bradshaw wears in Staten Island when she’s getting on the ferry and screams, “I lost my Choo!” – one of my favourite episodes of Sex and The City of all time. Toot, toot, beep, beep. I think it’s just the perfect example of Sandra’s creative prowess and playfulness.’

‘Feels like pure fabulosity and I love a fabulous shoe.’
Gigi Goode
Jimmy Choo ‘Isa 95’ pumps in patent leather
‘I’ve had some version of these pointed slingbacks ever since the beginning of my pre-pubescent high-heel obsession. With a miniskirt and socks, peeking out from under a pair of jeans, or with black-tie formalwear, there’s never really an occasion when this shoe doesn’t work.’
Jane How
Jimmy Choo ‘Ganache’ clutch bag in biker leather
‘The Ganache is a very modern shape. It’s chic and timeless, effortless to wear and transitions from day to night really well. It’s versatile and helps dress up a look, while feeling precious and sophisticated at the same time.’
Chris Horan
Jimmy Choo ‘Brigitte 100’ pumps in lace and satin
‘This is the shoe that I want to gift every woman in my life that I love. I love that all of the details reveal themselves slowly – and above all else, she’s hot and a bit naughty.’
Simone Beyene
Jimmy Choo ‘Isa 95’ pumps in leather
‘My pick of style is the Isa 95! It’s so sexy on the foot and the drop heel is so fab. Also, a slingback is always my preference for a night out dancing, and the Isa is the perfect style. They hug the foot but still give you some movement.’
Sandra Choi
Jimmy Choo ‘Cinch’ shoulder bag in soft shiny biker leather
‘The Cinch handbag has been my go-to bag for some time! It’s a femininely practical bag because of its size and the double strap that I can style differently depending on my mood or outfit. My favourite is the semi-shiny soft calf, which has just the right amount of attitude yet is effortlessly sleek!’
