When two brands like accessories brand Jimmy Choo and designer label Mugler – both synonymous with high-octane fashion – partner for a collaboration, you know to expect a great deal of unabashed glamour.

But what role does glamour play in 2022?

After two years spent mainly at home during the coronavirus pandemic, many women have ditched their party dresses and high heels for cosy sweats and comfy shoes.

Designers Sandra Choi, creative director of Jimmy Choo, and Casey Cadwallader, creative director of Mugler, say that the idea behind their footwear collection was to look forward to the joy that their creations would bring to women finally able to celebrate and go out.

Choi and Cadwallader hit it off after meeting in New York in December 2020 and had countless conversations, mostly virtual, to develop the range, which features what Choi calls “trophies”: sculptural and striking shoes that combine the fierce and fabulous aesthetic of Mugler with Jimmy Choo’s feminine elegance and shoemaking prowess.
