Designed for the man who understands that the old codes of masculine dress have been cracked by 21st century reality, Jimmy Choo presents a suite of carefully calibrated footwear that challenges convention for Autumn-Winter 2017. This is a collection that revels in contrast and idiosyncrasy.
British Punk Rock band The Clash and the concept of clashing aesthetics, serve as inspirations delivering surprising blends of sartorial English eccentricity with a pinch of Punk rock attitude. Classic styles are rebuilt in radical new fabrications. Sneakers are presented in traditional corduroy and formal lace ups are injected with star-studded attitude. Orthodox silhouettes are given new life via irreverent detail. Its footwear serves as the foundation for a modern mode of dressing for style arbitrators.
“The men who stood out in the past were those who had the courage to break rules: to find something they believed in and represent it. I was inspired by looking closely at The Clash, where their style codes are a fusion of traditional English gent with Punk attitude. This collection is ammunition for men who have their own point of view - raw material for self-expression in a world where individualism is the only style rule to abide by.” Sandra Choi, Creative Director.
From a satchel whose silhouette is inspired by the mail bag Choi’s grandfather used to deliver post in Hong Kong, to cutting edge knit-sock sneakers, Autumn-Winter’s frame of reference roams far and wide.
THEO is a robustly rubber-soled split toed blucher, presented in black, dust grey or English burgundy. Alongside each eyelet and orbiting the upper on the sole, is a constellation of Jimmy Choo signature stars in a tarnished gunmetal finish. THEO’s big brother is TROY, a split toed blucher boot with a lightweight mesh gusset for easy-to-wear versatility.
MILO, a rugged rigger boot that looks tough but is surprisingly soft both to the touch and on the foot; that’s because of its half-shearling construction which, just like its transparent poly-clad commando sole, delivers the unexpected sumptuously. 
JUDD is a twenty hole boot with a round toe and a slim silhouette in three shades of waxed leather with a versatile rubber sole that retains the stricter appearance of welted leather.
The LEE bag was inspired by a photograph of Creative Director Sandra Choi’s ‘Grandpa Li’, whilst he was working for the Hong Kong Post Office. Sentiment and pragmatic style have influenced a reincarnation that celebrates utilitarian functionality of the satchel refashioned in rich shades of contrasting leather and suede. Timelessly modern.
In the Philippines, Jimmy Choo is located at Rustan’s Makati and Shangri-La Plaza East Wing. Follow @ssilifeph on Instagram for more information.
