Jimmy Choo to work with Rob Pruitt
April 14th, 2012 - 3:08 pm ICT by IANSLondon, April 14 (IANS) Designer Jimmy Choo is set to collaborate with New York-based visual artist Rob Pruitt on a new spring-summer 2013 range.
His fashion house will join forces with the contemporary artist on a capsule cruise collection, and the brand is hoping his influence will lead to the creation of some very collectible and uniquely beautiful products, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
“We were captivated by Pruitt’s energy, his computer screen use of colour and the festive exuberance of his prints and materials; there were elements in his work that reminded us in subtle ways of the Jimmy Choo design iconography,” said Sandra Choi, creative director, Jimmy Choo.
“We sensed that Rob’s twist on Jimmy Choo glamour would yield something very collectible and uniquely beautiful,” she added.
The collection will feature shoes, small leather accessories and handbags, and it is expected to arrive in Jimmy Choo boutiques and online by November this year.
