The Couture USA team would like to wish a very special happy birthday to the incomparable Jimmy Choo, who celebrated his 69th birthday on November 15th! For the fashion obsessed, the name Jimmy Choo evokes thoughts of distinguished quality, prestige elegance, and of course, the various looks of Carrie Bradshaw. In celebration of the fashion mogul that transformed the world of designer shoes, here is a look at 7 surprising Jimmy Choo Facts!
As the son of a shoe cobbler, Choo was introduced to his craft at an early age. After spending his early years studying his father's work as his apprentice, Jimmy Choo successfully constructed his own pair of shoes at the age of 11 years old.
The designer's real family name is Chow, but an administrative mistake made on his birth certificate left him with the last name Choo. Who knew a world-renowned luxury household name would ever be accredited to a simple typo?
One of his original celebrity clients, Princess Diana was a huge fan of Choo and from there they grew to be great friends. After designing countless pairs specifically for the late and great Lady Di, Choo kept the last pair of gold pumps he finished for her the day following her tragic accident as a loving memory of his royal friend.
While watching Legally Blonde 2: Red, White, and Blonde, you'll be able to spot a total of 63 different pairs of fabulous hand made shoes designed by Jimmy Choo specifically for the film.
