Amy Pugsley If you have been looking to switch in your summer sandals for a fall footwear staple, we have just the collaboration for you. The fresh collab is giving us all the feels and already superstars like Lady Gaga and J. Lo have been spotted wearing the new ultra-glam Timberland x Jimmy Choo boots. The British luxury accessory brand and the American urban boot brand have teamed up to infuse glamour and classic street style.
While many might think this collaboration was crafted out of thin air—others see the throwback New York connection. 90s hip-hop music made Timberland’s 6-inch boot a staple for construction workers and NYC rappers, while the sitcom “Sex and the City,” made Jimmy Choo a go-to brand for fashionistas. Meshing these two worlds was exciting for Creative Director Sandra Choi who spoke about the new line in an interview. “To collaborate with a brand like Timberland allows Jimmy Choo to explore a new avenue and take part in a different conversation. I love to mix it up by getting together with different creative minds combining our DNA to create a beautiful and surprising product with unexpected links to the roots of both our brands. Timberland’s outdoor work heritage combined with our high fashion sensibility creates something really exciting and unique in the market.”
The new collection offers three unique styles including a limited-edition Swarovski Crystal Embellished boot that retails for around 4000 Euros. The launch also came with a pledge from Timberland to plant a tree for every pair of boots created in this limited-edition collection showing the company’s support for a greener future.
