Jimmy Choo collaborates with H&M.
H&M does it again: a brand-new Jimmy Choo line made for H&M. The British designer notoriously known for its designer shoes will strut in 250 Hennes & Mauritz stores worldwide on Nov. 14 with premiere women's and men's shoes, bags and accessories. It’s almost super-exciting to imagine a black-zippered leather "Lydia" bag ($99.90), and a silver-toned three-chain bracelet ($25.90)—these and more will all be available at the lovely H&M price point.
This isn't a dream! And a decrease in price doesn't mean a decrease in style. Jimmy Choo's electric-blue leather open-toe bootie sandals, zebra studded flats and even this season's coveted look—the thigh-high-come-hither black boot may have you in H&M hyperventilating. Such collaborations, with highly recognized designers is no surprise from H&M (upcoming and previous collabos include Sonia Rykiel and Karl Lagerfeld, respectively), but this is definitely the first to primarily focus on shoes and accessories. "We're designing a collection appealing to fashion-savvy, street-smart women," says Tamara Mellon, founder/president of Jimmy Choo. "Jimmy Choo will bring to H&M a sophisticated and glamorous collection—the perfect party pieces to buy now and then wear out that night."
Hope H&M also employs a medical staff because this collabo will surely leave some passed out in the aisle.
