Just a few weeks after the visionary French designer Thierry Mugler sadly passed away aged 73, his eponymous fashion house Mugler has announced a collaboration with iconic footwear brand Jimmy Choo – and even better, it's available to shop now.
The timing couldn’t be more perfect. After months of reaching straight for our comfiest pieces and eternally tempting UGG boots for yet another cosy night in, we find ourselves in dire need of something to snap us out of the slipper stupor and back into the party mood.
This season’s clothes have already undergone a sexy revamp to get us ready for going ‘out-out’, so naturally we need some killer shoes to complete the look – and the Jimmy Choo x Mugler collection is about as killer as it gets. In an homage to the female form, the capsule champions femininity, power and glamour while drawing on both brands’ vast archives and history of creating iconic designs.
‘There’s an inherent connection between the language of Mugler and the language of Jimmy Choo,’ says Sandra Choi, Creative Director of Jimmy Choo. ‘Our roots in the 1990s, the resonance those have today with a younger generation, but the urge to update, to re-engineer and not just revive.’
The resulting collection stays true to both brands, updating their classic silhouettes and designs for the modern woman who is au fait with the power and attitude a great pair of shoes can provide.

The Knee Sandal and Pump styles are a dream come true for haute jewellery fans, adorned with precious gold chains that beautifully decorate the foot, while the JCXM Strap shoe features tiny buckled leather straps in an homage to Jimmy Choo’s leather sandals of the 1990s and the Mugler signature.
Shoes like this practically demand to be taken out somewhere fabulous. And just like that, our desire to get dressed up and hit the town seems to have magically returned…
