So we are now in late September 2006 and if the jimmychoo.com site is to be believed, Sandra Choi is very much creative director.

does this mean she got paid what she deserved?

and how’s Tamara taking it?

of course, you get to see her pics on the opening pages of the site shooting the famous campaign with Quincy Jones.

You are all silly. Not everyone is rich enough to afford a $300 pair of heels, let alone a $50 pair! The Jimmy Choo company still thrives because of rich celebrities feeding their profits really. Think about it, if each pair was $200, 20 pairs would be $4000….. I have seen the shoes, and they’re not that great. In fact, I only liked one pair because of its design, the colour was disgusting. Gosh, and I thought $40 shoes were expensive O.o….

Jimmy Choo shoes are not even half as beautiful as Manolos! Manolos will be here long after all the “Choo” bickering. Ms Mellon sounds like she is acting like a spoiled brat!
In the meanwhile I would rather support Manolos…owning about 600 pairs I am proud to slip those “puppies” on. YOU “GO” Manolo.

Texasexile, thanks for info on VF article. i found it and read it very interesting also noticed there was nothing bad about jimmy choo in it and it was just a Public Relations piece, nevertheless it was intereseting.

i think all of this pressure has made stuff come out but i just read on another site that they are now going to do a shoe line called “sandra choi for jimmy choo” bet she gets commissions on everthing that sales since her name is on it

Manolo -
I’m sure by now you will have been sent this link one hundred times over, but I wanted to make sure you have seen the Fug Girls latest entry. I know you will appreciate the respect they have shown the Hasselhoff!

Vicky, some of this info was included in an article in Vanity Fair last year. I believe it was the October issue. This article was essientially a profile of Tamara Mellon, but it also included information regarding the company’s backstory, the abdication of Jimmy Choo (read takeover), buyouts and the continuing in fighting.

So, anyone have any idea if Sandra Choi is staying or going? Of course, the more the public finds out about this the better chance we have of keeping the shoes the same.

Manolo you said this is old news, where else can we find more info?
