The name Jimmy Choo brings to mind glamorously crafted designer shoes with unbearable prices. Especially during these economic times, dreaming about Jimmy Choo shoes seems to be the only way to access high-end fashion. The current designer collection, which was released on November 14th, had extensive lines trailing from around the corners of stores in New York City, proving that high-end fashion is still in our hearts and, especially, our budgets.

For those who are looking for affordable staple fashion pieces, Jimmy Choo has recently collaborated with H&M, the megastore for chic and cheap European fashion.

With twelve different styles, these skyscraper heels are sure to be an instant investment that will be the perfect staple, adding glam to any outfit. The extravagance of animal prints, studs, chic black leather, suede, and sequins characterizes Jimmy Choo’s regular collections. The sleekness and elegance that Jimmy Choo brings to H&M shoppers is exhilarating to high-end fashion lovers all around the city and the world.

Media representative of H&M, Jennifer Uglialoro, expressed the company’s enthusiasm with this collaboration. She said: “H&M is very excited to be able to offer our customers something new. The collaboration with Jimmy Choo fits our promise to the customers of high fashion and quality at the best price. We want to surprise our customers all the time. Working with a designer for the first shoe collaboration has been a success. It is also the first time that Jimmy Choo has offered a men’s line or women’s clothing.”

Compared to the typical price range of $350-$1595 for the regular Jimmy Choo line, the shoes being sold at H&M range from around $70-$299. There is a range of Jimmy Choo in a variety of styles from deep royal blues to the blackest of blacks. The strappy sandals made in black leather with studs are reasonably priced at $99. There is also a cute matching studded black leader bag ($199). For suede lovers, there are gray booties with little studs around the ankles ($149).

Jimmy Choo’s clothing line for H&M presents pieces such as a royal blue scoop-back suede dress that works for both day and night ($249). For a more boho-chic look, Choo offers a black suede dress with a fringed hem ($249). For a true investment piece, a more classic, black cashmere jacket with hand embroidered sequins is perfect ($129). To finish off any outfit of Jimmy Choo, try the elegant crystal bracelets ($44).

Despite the cold winter up ahead of us, we can still savor high-end fashion of leather and suede at affordable prices thanks to H&M’s partnership with Jimmy Choo. Stores carrying the special collection can be found around the city: 5th Avenue and 51st Street, Lexington and 59th, 34th and 6th/Broadway (Herald Square), Penn Station, and 86th Street and Lexington.
