Jimmy Choo is to launch its first mens range. With pries at £395 and £695, the line collection will be in line with the brand's women's offer. The collection includes a pair of crocodile-print Hunter wellies and gentlemen's evening slippers, as
well as cashmere high-top sneakers.Chi
Mellon, who was recently awarded an OBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List for her services to business and charity, has taken less than two decades to turn a small bespoke shoemaker into a major global brand estimated to be worth £500m selling shoes, handbags and perfume.
The Jimmy Choo brand currently has boutiques across the world, from London to Las Vegas - and a loyal following of fashionistas who are undaunted by £1,000-plus price tags.
Last year, the label created a cut-price collection with High Street giant H&M, while the collaboration with Ugg proved just as popular.
Mellon, who owns one fifth of the company, is the 64th richest woman in Britain, reportedly worth around £100million.
