Jimmy Choo Says Shoes Affect Personality
Jimmy Choo thinks shoes can change a woman’s personality.
The famous designer - whose creations are sought after by women across the globe - adores his work and believes footwear plays such an important role in people’s lives that he relishes the chance to improve their lifestyle.
“We all wear shoes, every day - we have to. So they are a very important part of your wardrobe. They say something about the way you hold your body. Shoes must be elegant, comfortable. They affect the person’s personality.”
The 40-year-old craftsman - who was born in Malaysia - has been designing shoes since he was just 11, but admits he still has battles with himself while trying to perfect his styles: “I’m a perfectionist. I get angry and I lose my tempter, but only over shoes. My temper is very quick but there’s never anything personal. If I lose my tempter with a member of staff, afterwards we’ll go for a drink. Maybe I just love my shoes too much!”
Jimmy recently revealed how it is never too late for people to start wearing heels, but can’t start off with skyscrapers. “You should start with two or two and a half inches, get used to that first. But a lot of men, when they’ve been married for ten years, they walk in front of their wives. When a woman is wearing heels they have to walk more slowly, but sometimes their husbands won’t wait for them.”
