Jimmy Choo Yeang Keat was born November 15th, 1948 in the Crown Colony of Penang, Malaysia, into a family of shoemakers. Of Chinese descent, his family name is Chew, but it was misspelled on his birth certificate as Choo. His father, a shoemaker who made all of his shoes by hand, taught him the craft, and he made his first pair of shoes when he was 11 years old. Between 1982 and 1984 Choo studied at Cordwainers Technical College in Hackney (now part of the London College of Fashion). He went to a design firm to work after graduation for the next nine years, wishing to remain in London permanently instead of returning to Malaysia. Choo initially started his own company with the help of the Prince’s Trust. Choo’s parents emigrated to Britain to help him, with his craftsmanship and designs first gaining public recognition at London Fashion Week in 1988. After seeing his creations, Vogue featured his shoes in an eight page spread, which led to patronage from Princess Diana in the early 1990s that solidified his popularity. In 1996, Choo co-founded Jimmy Choo Ltd. with British Vogue magazine accessories editor Tamara Mellon. In April 2001 Choo sold his 50% stake in the company for 10 million pounds. He has since concentrated his work on the exclusive Jimmy Choo couture line produced under license from Jimmy Choo Ltd. In 2002 he was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in recognition of his services to the United Kingdom, and he received an honorary doctorate in art from De Montfort University in Leicester in 2004 after creating a unique footwear design for them. His shoes remain some of the most popular and beloved in women’s fashion today.
