Jimmy Choo for H&M arrives in November
June 17th, 2009 / Posted in Fashion, Jimmy Choo Handbags by Amanda Mull.
This news is just what I wanted to hear today. H&M has a long and well-publicized history of collaborations with high-end designers, but until now, all of those designers had been most well-known for their clothes. Taking things in a slightly different direction, H&M will feature shoes, accessories, AND clothes (CLOTHES?!?!) designed by the folks at Jimmy Choo in select stores this November.
This is the first time that one of the Swedish chain’s designer capsule collections has focused on shoes and accessories (reports are that the clothes will be designed to “compliment” them), and the very idea makes me weep for my weak ankles, one of which I would surely destroy by trying to buy and wear any of the suddenly affordable Choos that are soon to come our way (old soccer accident, the story is gruesome, you don’t want to know). I’m hoping against hope that they make some flats for those like me, but the teaser image that we have shows two high heels, both of which are quite a bit more intricate than I would have expected for a collection like this. And is that the corner of a very shiny clutch that I see peeking out of the frame there? Because if it is, God help me, I will be the first one in line if any of the Atlanta-area H&Ms carry this line. No word on which stores will have it yet (when we find out, we’ll let you know!), but my guess is only the largest and most flagship-y of the locations will see these beauties. November 14, hurry up and get here.
I like the shoes, but I would never buy them. I am to afraid that I would end up on my butt!
I hate it when high end designers do this…I am a huge Choo fan, and this news is not good.
I’m so excited to see what Choo creates!
I can afford a Jimmy Choo shoe! Woo Hoo! The only thing is that there are no H&M in Texas lol! The closest one is in California and Atlanta (Boo Hoo!)
ugh… why would anyone want $60 jimmy choos… this is disappointing…
Whats the problem with a designer wanting to make a more affordable line for people who r less fortunate and cannot afford $600 for a pair of shoes but has a love for good shoes… and now can afford them. I dont really see the problem with it. i just hate when people feel like they are to good to buy shoes out of somewhere like H&M if u want to keep paying $600 then go right ahead i know they are not going to stop selling them. but all that matters is that u know how much they cost so it doesnt really matter how much u paid for them…
EXACTLY! I agree 100%. It’s not like it’s a knockout of jimmy choo, it’s the same shoe, same qualitiy but more affordable! What’s wrong with that? So if u see 2 of the same jimmy choo shoes 1 for $800 and the other one for $149 u would buy the $800? Just because it’s gonna make it more valuable? that’s ridiculous. For all of you spoiled little girls that only care about showing off how much u paid for expensive brand name shoes need to grow up. We’re in recession time people, and like Ms. Carmichael said, this benefitts a lot of people who have a good taste and yet are unfurtanate of affording those expensive items.
*knockoff* is what i meant lol
its not like its going to be the same higher quality material.
thats the difference between the H&M line than the original.
H&M quality of clothing sucks! its cute and cheap lasts for about 6 months or less. probably going to be the same with the shoes, well longer than six months but not forever.
I don’t have a problem with a designer being secure in his craft where he is able to let others who might never ever have been aware of his line due to the price and stores his product are affiliated with or in. I think it will bring new fans that will want to one day buy a more expensive shoe down the line.
omg i cant wait im so excited!!!!
love the feature, check out my post on Jimmy Choo for H&M on my blog too!
Can’t wait for the 14th of November! Noa Xx
