Off-White And Jimmy Choo Collaboration On Princess D-Themed Shoe Collection

September 23, 2017. 3 Comments

Off-White and Jimmy Choo have announced plans for a collaborative collection to be revealed on Off-White’s September 28, 2017, runway during Paris Fashion Week. In the Instagram teaser, a short clip shows pink leather, along with high heel shoe lasts plus a mood board image of Princess Diane.

This is an interesting pairing in part because it pairs Off-White designer Virgil Abloh, who’s know for an industrial and irreverent approach to fashion with a brand that has a super feminine, fairy princess appeal.

That said, the two do share a common appreciation for Princess Diana. Abloh has said his spring 2018 collection was inspired in part by her and she provided Jimmy Choo with a big boost when she wore a pair of the label’s baby blue mules in 1997.

The other interesting part of this pairing is that Jimmy Choo was purchased by Michael Kors for $1.2 billion in late July 2017. Jimmy Choo was founded in 1996 by Malaysian-born designer Jimmy Choo Yeang Kea and Tamara Mellon, who at the time was an accessories editor at British Vogue. Both Kea and Mellon had both sold their ownership of the company before it was purchased by Kors.

Given how long collaborations take, Abloh probably made the collaborative agreement prior to the purchase. If that’s the case, it would be interesting to know if Abloh still would’ve gone ahead with the Jimmy Choo collaboration under its new ownership especially given how downtrodden Kors fashion reputation is as of late. Given the Princess Diana connection, if anything he might have negotiated for for more money.

Kors’ reputation as a fashion brand isn’t what it used to be and some people fear it will end up dragging down Jimmy Choo’s reputation through association and management.

Check out the teaser below.

Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah H Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah Hairston on Kerby Jean-Raymond whose label Pyer Moss appears to no longer be operational. 

Check out an excerpt below. 

Ten years in, Jean-Raymond’s star has only risen. He hangs out with celebrities (Tracee Ellis Ross, Brent Faiyaz), made a cameo on Insecure, and drives flashy cars (a McLaren 720S, an Aston Martin Superleggera, a Porsche GT3 RS). Meanwhile, his brand is nearly nonexistent.

There is no Pyer Moss boutique. The clothing celebrated on the runway was mostly not available to anybody who didn’t have a celebrity stylist to pull it for them, and company insiders complained that quality control was so uneven that at times what was produced was too flawed to be sold. Jean-Raymond sometimes missed deadlines, didn’t always pay bills, started other projects, and alienated allies. He referred to Pyer Moss as an “art project” and seemed reluctant to make practical choices. Among the fashion insiders who had cheered his rise, there has been a growing feeling that he has wasted an opportunity to build something important.

The last straw for many of his early supporters was his couture show in July 2021. Titled “WAT U IZ,” and put on in the U.S. during Paris Couture Week, it was a tribute to the various innovations that Black people have been responsible for, often without credit. The models came down the runway decked out in a jar of peanut butter and a traffic light. A lot of it wasn’t really clothing, much less couture. Even if the professional critics and other members of the fashion press seemed hesitant to publicly express their disappointment, they whispered among each other that he’d lost the plot of his brand.
