The world wide press is positively panting with today’s news that the Swedish chain of designer knock-off stores has reached an agreement to sell stilettos, handbags, clothes and accessories by the original fetishists’ best friend, Jimmy Choo.
The Jimmy Choo goods _ for both men and women _ will reportedly arrive in 200 stores by November 14. In previous collaborations with top-notch designers like Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney and Roberto Cavalli, limited-edition items have sold out entirely within minutes of the doors swinging open.
The Jimmy Choo brand of shoes _ which gained household name status soon after a partnership was forged with British fashion maven Tamara Mellon a decade ago _ normally sells for a reported $500 or more per pair. The collection of Choo goods for H&M is expected to start at $50 and max out at $200.
And, as if the brand didn’t have enough “Sex and the City” street cred already, First Lady Michelle Obama wore Jimmy Choo shoes at her husband’s Presidential Inauguration.
