Don’t scold yourself if until now, you still don’t know what Jimmy Choos are, or who in the world Jimmy Choo is.  First off, Jimmy Choo is a Malaysian shoemaker born in 1961.  Believe it or not, he made his first shoes at the age of 11.  He graduated from Cordwainer’s Technical College in London, and had a small workshop there.  His road to fame began when Vogue magazine featured his designs back in 1988.  And it didn’t end there.  He only became more popular when Diana, Princess of Wales became his regular patron.

His shoes, now more popularly called Jimmy Choos, have since had their share of the limelight as they have been featured so many times in TV shows such as Sex in the City and The Sopranos.  Celebrity fashion has since become synonymous with Jimmy Choos.

Jimmy Choos are known for their ultra high heels and pointed toes.  He likewise has a collection of lower-heeled shoes and flats for the more timid.
