The Towering World of Jimmy Choo is Sex and the City meets Barbarians at the Gate: the story of a London society girl named Tamara Mellon who launched one of the most talked about luxury brands in the world. More than simply a well-told tale of glamorous, troubled people, The Towering World of Jimmy Choo taps into America's seemingly insatiable appetite for luxury goods and examines an industry that has experienced explosive growth in just the past decade. Compelling to followers of both fashion and business, The Towering World of Jimmy Choo takes readers into a complex, rarified world as only seasoned financial journalist, Lauren Goldstein Crowe, and leading luxury goods equity analyst, Sagra Maceria de Rosen, can tell it. Millions of people now work in fashion, read the magazines and follow the key players--even if they can't afford the clothes. The story of how the Jimmy Choo brand got to where it is today is one of love, hate, sex, drugs, celebrity, power, money, intrigue and ambition. And every word of it is true.

Ah, ...the rich. How they live, and how they are soaked like WalMart junkies by brand names catering to their supposed uppity shopping choices. A shoe is a shoe as poor Jimmy wanted to believe. Anything can be taken to another level. However, when it's strictly for money and branding, it becomes rather pathetic.

Exactly as described! Will purchase from this vendor again!

I really enjoyed this book about luxury shoe brand Jimmy Choo. It's perfect for anyone who is interested in the business of fashion, or for anyone who loves her Choos. The authors clearly did their research, and it shows.

It was so boring in parts...it seemed as if the author kept repeating herself. I read a review on my Shopaholic's Daily Calendar and thought it sounded interesting, but I was really disappointed.

If you love jimmy choo and you have a business
Degree
You'll love it!!

Intelligent, sophisticated, intellectually stimulating and
Thouraghly enjoyable!
