Blending refinement and rebellion, the Jimmy Choo x Jean Paul Gaultier collaboration brings together two houses renowned for unapologetic glamour and pioneering creativity. Jimmy Choo’s definitive footwear and Jean Paul Gaultier’s ready-to-wear signatures have been reimagined as a range of limited-edition designs, celebrating extraordinary style.

Inspired by Gaultier’s ground-breaking SS94 collection ‘Les Tatouages’, the streamlined pump and over-the-knee boot serve as a canvas for an original hand-drawn design – each different size and style features a slightly different print, adding to the precious nature of these pieces. The tattoo pattern is also showcased in pavé crystals – in addition to the leather pumps – for a signature touch of Jimmy Choo glamour.

If the elongated toe and refined vamp of these statement wedges are emblematic of Jimmy Choo, then Jean Paul Gaultier is present in the striking wit and surreal nature of this standout design. Each of these transparent heels captures the spirit of both brands’ cities; with Paris’ Eiffel Tower and London’s Big Ben etched asymmetrically inside each heel.

This style represents the fusion of two true icons, Gaultier’s signature heavy metal jewellery – evocative of the London punk scene – and Jimmy Choo’s iconic Bing mule. The asymmetric jewellery adorning this style is decorated lavishly with crystals and branded hardware. The metallic chain continues onto the back of the shoes, ensuring it makes a statement from every angle.

Featuring a playful denim trompe l’oeil print, the innovative boot can be worn two ways; as an over the knee leather silhouette or, alternatively, turned down to a mid-calf style with a denim cuff. This digitally printed effect is crafted with fabric that is washed to fix the colour, as is the traditional process to make a classic pair of jeans.
