A first look at Jimmy Choo’s exclusive new collection

Jimmy Choo’s iconic shoes have taken many a leading lady down the red carpet, from Margot Robbie and Meryl Streep to Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez. Now, just in time for party season, the London-based label is bringing a little Hollywood sparkle to our closets with an exclusive collection, in collaboration with NET-A-PORTER, that consists of ten pairs of shoes and three evening bags. “The collection was inspired by the confidence and glamor that leading ladies exude when walking the red carpet,” explains Jimmy Choo’s creative director Sandra Choi. “Mixed with the idea of fantasy, each style has a femininity, seductiveness and the finesse of couture.”

In a luxe mix of Chantilly lace, satin and suede, these are the perfect heels to complement your evening style, without ever overwhelming your outfit. Boldly distinctive yet sleekly sophisticated, they put a playful twist on classic glamor, with crystal embellishments, pretty bows and feather details. With strappy stilettos, ankle boots and pointed pumps in a range of unique designs, there’s something to suit all sartorial desires and dress codes.

With its eye-catching crystal-strewn heel and ankle strap, the suede pointed ‘Lellie’ ankle boot adds a cool ’80s vibe to minidresses and will turn every head on the dancefloor. Or, for a touch of romance, the ‘Leida’ boot comes in the same silhouette but is finished in a pretty lace – wear them with a knee-skimming silk slip dress or cropped tailored pants to really show them off.

If you’re looking to elevate a pair of casual jeans, or to take your officewear from boardroom to bar, the ‘Sarara’ sandals, with a glitzy, crystal-embellished bow, are a no-brainer. Alternatively, for something equally dramatic, the pointed ‘Saphia’ pumps add a decadent touch to any outfit thanks to their charming oversized bow. Perfect for after-hours, pair them with the bijou ‘Cloud’ box clutch – a neat minaudière with either a matching bow or crystal decorations – that lends a vintage touch to both floor-skimming gowns and neat tailoring.

Lace and feathers were two of the strongest trends on the FW19 runways, and there is something so perennially chic about both. The feather-trimmed ‘Belissa’ sandals, and the lace ‘Hadlea’ and ‘Haylene’ stilettos, are timeless styles that lend a sensuality to your party attire – there is something so elegant about the way the ‘Hadlea’ and ‘Haylene’ wrap around the foot.

For anyone who loves a touch of sparkle, this collection has plenty to choose from, but sartorial magpies will find it difficult to resist the ‘Lilah’ and ‘Lydia’. Featuring dainty straps dotted with shimmering crystals, these are refined shoes for extra-special occasions. Pair them with the suede ‘Callie’ clutch – a softly structured evening bag that dangles elegantly from the wrist.

With a collection as versatile, timeless and chic as this, when planning your next special-occasion outfit, why not start with the shoes this season?
