Luxury fashion accessories brand Jimmy Choo has collaborated with the French house of Jean Paul Gaultier on an exclusive capsule collection of footwear.
The collaboration fuses two creative identities founded on a shared vision of powerful, confident, and glamourous femininity co-designed by the houses’ respective creative directors Sandra Choi and Florence Tetier with a strong reference on both brands’ archival legacies, Jimmy Choo and Jean Paul Gaultier said in a joint press release.
“Jean Paul Gaultier is an icon—as a man, and as a brand. I have adored his work for as long as I can remember, and he has inspired me my entire life in fashion. I was honoured and incredibly excited to be able to reinterpret his legacy, the meaning of his work and his world, alongside Florence Tétier through the lens of Jimmy Choo. What I found was a kindred spirit—both in Gaultier as a house, and in Florence as a woman. We share outlooks and beliefs that we were able to translate to this collection, which celebrates craft, the distinct DNA of both these beloved brands and—appropriately enough—the power and strength of individuality,” said creative director Sandra Choi.
