Jimmy Choo and H&M celebrated their collaboration last night in West Hollywood with a performance by M.I.A and model presentation of Jimmy Choo for H&M clothing and accessories. The crowd was mainly dressed in black, as attendees including Olivia Wilde, Angela Lindvall, and Hayden Panettiere sported pieces from Tamara Mellon's first ever ready to wear collection—think black sequin jackets, leather pants, and belted jumpsuits. Mellon herself modeled a one-shoulder leather mini dress which will retail for less than $250 when the collection hits H&M stores mid month.

Jimmy Choo is fashionably supporting Elton John's AIDS Foundation by creating a limited-edition accessories collection dubbed Project PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis). It will include handbags, shoes, and small leather goods decorated with a new signature laminated canvas print showing off iconic Jimmy Choo details like snakeskin, leather, and even a picture of Tamara Mellon from a Vogue Italia photo shoot.

"It's a whole collage of the DNA of Jimmy Choo," said Mellon. The collection drops November with prices ranging from $95 for flip flops to $995 for a large handbag. Twenty-five percent of all proceeds will support the Simelela rape center in South Africa.

Fashion Fund 2009 Kicks Off with "Donatella Delight"

>> One of Valentino Garavani's favorite models, Natalia Vodianova, missed the big premiere of his documentary; she was in London for the launch of the 2009 Fashion Fringe search for emerging British design talent — the UK's version of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund award — instead. In celebration of this year's honorary chairperson, Donatella Versace, who flew in from Milan for the event, guests like Claudia Schiffer, Roland Mouret, Jonathan Saunders, and Jacquetta Wheeler were served "Donatella Delight" cocktails. Net-a-Porter founder Natalie Massenet is also on the judging panel this year, as is Jimmy Choo founder Tamara Mellon, who is overseeing the introduction of Fashion Fringe's first accessories prize. The four as yet unnamed finalists will show capsule collections during Spring 2010 London Fashion Week, and the winner — who in the past has been Basso & Brooke and Erdem — receive upwards of £100,000 for a follow-up show.*image: source

Fab Read: The Towering World of Jimmy Choo

Ever wondered what went on behind the shoe seams at Jimmy Choo?

by POPSUGAR Fashion

Ever wondered what went on behind the shoe seams at Jimmy Choo? If so, I highly suggest you add The Towering World of Jimmy Choo ($17), by Lauren Goldstein Crowe and Sagra Maciera de Rosen, to your queue. This book takes us on a journey through the brand's feeble beginnings in Hackney, London, to becoming one of the biggest shoe brands in the world.

Here's an interesting tidbit: Jimmy Choo started off as a bespoke cobbler before London socialite Tamara Mellon, current head of Jimmy Choo, convinced Choo to create a factory-produced shoe collection. I guess you never know where the world will take you . . .

Quote Of The Day: Tamara Mellon On Expanding Jimmy Choo

By the end of 2009, we will have 100 stores--this is a good time to expand.

by coutorture By the end of 2009, we will have 100 stores--this is a good time to expand. Prime real estate always comes up for sale in a crisis, and at a good price. I always said I was determined to own a truly global brand. I didn’t buy Jimmy Choo just to have a couple of shoe shops in London, did I?

ACE Awards Go Green for Stella McCartney

>> At last night's annual Accessories Council ACE Awards, Nicholas Ghesquiere may have been awarded Designer of the Year, Sally Singer the Marylou Luther Award for Fashion Journalism, and Tamara Mellon's Jimmy Choo the Brand of the Year, but Stella McCartney was awarded the most special treatment.

>> At last night's annual Accessories Council ACE Awards, Nicholas Ghesquiere may have been awarded Designer of the Year, Sally Singer the Marylou Luther Award for Fashion Journalism, and Tamara Mellon's Jimmy Choo the Brand of the Year, but Stella McCartney was awarded the most special treatment.

The designer, who was flanked by Helena Christensen, Coco Rocha, and Dean Koons and anointed with a new award, Green Designer of the Year, had her table completely set with salads while everyone else had "a decadent lobster plate." And out of respect for her vegan views, even her award — a Judith Leiber miaundiere — was made green, with a black hemp lining in leather's stead and no stainless steel plating. Such attention to detail kept Stella in a high mood — she joked as she accepted her award, "Little did I know that my award would be second to last and I would need to use the ladies' room after putting on my unitard outfit. But that's life!"
