The Jimmy Choo brand was launched in 1996 by Tamara Mellon, a former accessories editor at Vogue UK, and Mr. Jimmy Choo, a couture shoe maker based in London. Although Mr. Choo is no longer working with the company, Mellon continues on as the brand's president, and the line keeps churning out gorgeous, must-have shoes. Mellon gives this style advice: "It doesn't matter what you are wearing; if you have good shoes and a good bag, you'll look right."
