First off, can we just agree they’re basically the ultimate shoe fantasy? I mean, “crystal slipper”? Come ON. That’s straight outta Cinderella, but like, the Cinderella who actually *knows* about high fashion. I saw something about hand-applied Swarovski crystals and all I can think is, someone gets PAID to glue sparkly things onto shoes all day? Dream job. Sorta. Probably gives you a backache, though.
And then there’s the whole collaboration thing. Jimmy Choo x Sailor Moon? I’m not even a *huge* Sailor Moon fan, but that’s just…genius. It’s playful, it’s sparkly, it’s hitting that nostalgia button HARD. It’s, like, Jimmy Choo saying, “Hey, we can be serious luxury, but also, we don’t take ourselves *too* seriously.” Which, honestly, I appreciate. Some brands get so stuck up their own you-know-whats.
Now, are they *the* best luxury heels? That’s a loaded question. “Best” is subjective, innit? Depends what you’re into. Comfort? Probably not. I mean, they look killer, especially those Ari pumps all showered in crystals. But let’s be real, a “towering stiletto heel” isn’t exactly made for a marathon. More for, like, looking AMAZING for an hour, then strategically finding a chair. I’m getting tired just thinking about it, lol. Still, the visual impact is undeniable. They’re *fairytale* shoes.
Speaking of looks, have you *seen* the pearl collection? And this thing about “drop heels”? Apparently that’s their new signature thing. I dunno, it’s kinda interesting. A little bit edgy, without being like, full-on punk rock. It’s like they’re trying to do something different, which is cool. Plus, they’ve got pumps, sandals, boots… they’re really covering all the bases.
Nordstrom also has a bunch of jimmy choo heels, for those interested.
