The Kind of Shoes You Marry In
Madonna may have referred to Manolo Blahnik shoes as being "better than sex," but it was a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes that she wore on her wedding day.
Shoes Fit for a Princess
One of Choo's most famous clients was Princess Diana, whom he designed many pairs for over the years -- so many in fact, he can't recall the actual number. He was scheduled to deliver a pair of just-completed gold pumps to her the day after she was killed. He kept those shoes in memory of his friend.
With a Little Luck
Jimmy Choo's first shoe label was called "Lucky Shoes," and it would indeed seem that his career has taken some fortuitous turns. But it's his artistic talent and drive that has made him into the success he is today -- he also won't stop until the shoes are just right.
For example, in preparation for a Katharine Hamnett fashion show, Jimmy Choo once worked non-stop three days and nights, sewing beads on shoes.
