Jimmy Choo New Artistic Advert Makes a Splash
Ahh, you all know me and my love of the Jimmy Choo, right? It is probably one of my most enduring love affairs and it is constantly being re-energised and refreshed with new possibilities. There is never an end to the desire either.
And now in honor of Jimmy Choo’s 15th birthday, fine artist Marilyn Minter shot the image above.  Crystals — the traditional 15th anniversary gift — smother the silver shoe splashing through the gold puddle. 
Tamara Mellon, the creative director and visionary behind Jimmy Choo, has collected Minter's work for some years but was surprised at how a down-to-earth artist could produce such sexy images.
This is the first time that Marilyn Minter has worked on a luxury campaign and as US Elle says, "most high fashion ads would love to be called art, but this may be the first piece to really warrant the title."
Are you listening Santa?
