Exclusive to NET-A-PORTER, Jimmy Choo’s Stacey mule is the ultimate ’90s throwback
Integrity, confidence, power: this is the message at Jimmy Choo for spring/summer 2019, translating into a collection that boldly emphasizes the form and beauty of the shoe and of the woman who wears it. Influences this season include the works of Romanian sculptor Constantin Brâncuși and the high drama of ’80s Parisian couture, resulting in a captivating interplay of style and structure that is simultaneously luxurious and self-aware. “This is a collection for standing tall, unafraid and unbowed,” says Sandra Choi, the label’s Creative Director. “I’ve focused on evoking a real drama in the structure, sculpting the forms and cut of the uppers, as well as creating a harmonious balance in the proportion of the whole. Whilst designing this collection, the word that kept coming into my mind was ‘strength.’ At Jimmy Choo, we strive to produce designs that evoke a sense of strength and daring. There is glamour, of course, but the glamour is an irreverent expression of feminine power and self-determination.”
Exclusive to NET-A-PORTER for spring/summer 2019, the Stacey mule ticks three SS19 trend boxes at once thanks to the ’90s silhouette, transparent PVC strip and neutral colorways. Founded in the mid-’90s, Jimmy Choo quickly became the decade’s go-to shoe brand for the world’s most stylish women, including Princess Diana, and the label has continued to go from strength to strength in the years since. With ’90s style making a major comeback, it is only natural that the London-based label should be the first port of call for a pair of authentic mules. Designed in a sleek ’90s-inspired silhouette, the Stacey has been made in Italy from leather and topped with clear PVC straps. Set on a comfortable 85mm slender heel, they’re perfect for all-day – and night – wear.

With its sublimely simple undulating curved silhouette, the Stacey epitomizes the sculptural boldness of this season. The epitome of minimal evening style, the backless mule perfectly showcases the curves of the foot, making it both sexy and ladylike. The transparent PVC strap across the toes holds and grips the foot, giving its wearer a confidence echoed by the palette of direct color ways – white, black, beige and metallic rose-gold. Which shade should you choose? Classic black and white are unrivaled in their timelessness; beige dominated the runways this season; while metallic rose-gold makes a shining statement after dark, especially when matched to your jewelry. Play up to the throwback by wearing yours with a slip dress or cargo pants. A modern interpretation of the enduring glamour of Jimmy Choo, the luxuriously versatile Stacey makes a bold punctuation mark to any evening ensemble.
