Kylie Minogue Debuts Jimmy Choo / Jean Paul Gaultier
Two fashion powerhouses, Jimmy Choo and Jean Paul Gaultier, join creative forces for an innovative collaboration. Their parallel legacies span multifaceted cultural mixes, a love of craft, and an idiosyncratic ideology of glamorous rebellion. The collection proposes a capsule of greatest hits, brought to life by global phenomenon, Kylie Minogue who not only has a deeply personal relationship with both houses, she also embodies the collection’s spirit of individuality and empowerment.
“Jean Paul Gaultier is an icon - as a man, and as a brand. I have adored his work for as long as I can remember, and he has inspired me my entire life in fashion. The two fashion houses share outlooks and beliefs that we were able to translate to this collection, which celebrates craft, the distinct DNA of both these beloved brands and – appropriately enough - the power and strength of individuality.”
“Fashion for me has always been about collaboration with like-minded creatives, and pure personal self-expression. Jean Paul Gaultier and Jimmy Choo have both been part of my fashion journey, and I’m thrilled to work with both of them to celebrate this exceptional collection. It’s our collective histories fusing, to create something fresh and new”
“Jimmy Choo is like the Gaultier of shoes - craft, meets rebellion. And Kylie is more than a musician - with a rich and deep history with both houses. When I think about design references and aesthetics, both our brands celebrate the strong female form framed through pop culture, a shared ideology that really stands out. Kylie is the embodiment of that”
