It’s one of Sex and the City’s most memorable scenes, at least among the fashion crowd: Carrie Bradshaw sprints in a pair of feather-trimmed lilac suede slingback heels, hoping to flag down the Long Island Ferry when one shoe flies off. “Waiiiit! I lost my Choo!” she screams in defeat as the boat sails away and leaves her a Jimmy Choo-less Cinderella.
The season three, episode one SATC moment helped footwear designer Jimmy Choo become a household name synonymous with luxury heels worth protecting at all costs. Three decades later, as part homage to its big TV break and part celebration of its 30th brand anniversary, Jimmy Choo is launching an archival collection of reissued silhouettes—including Carrie’s beloved kitten heel that was collateral damage to a date gone wrong.
