Interview with Mellon: The Woman At Jimmy Choo’s Heart

Jimmy Choo’s heart and inspiration belongs to a single woman. Mellon is causing the new growth of the fashion label has marked its reputation on sharp, high heels and powerful style.

Not only is she a fashion setter with flashy leather handbags and germophobic germ wipes at the ready at her hands; she was recently titled business ambassador by the British PM David Cameron; plus she’s astoundingly creative and is one amazing mother that can choose to wear uggs or crocs whenever she feels the need – while working with her 8 year old daughter to boot.

She was one of the first to take on the problem of a single mom’s wardrobe – both comfortability and luxury, along with price, were some of the deciding factors in her new line of clothes for moms. She worked with Uggs to make sure they were doing it right as well.

As she stated, if she wasn’t willing to wear it, there was little reason to even designing it and then manufacturing it. That is her motto!

With the crowds at Saks lining up to speak to her, Mellon has no shortage of advice and she listens to them everyday – learning, watching, and observing to understand the minds and hearts of potential fashionistas along with potential customers. Back in the year 1996, she was an accessories editor at Vogue ( British label ) and she saw a great opportunity to carve out a name for herself in the market for a new line that would dominate anything else done in that area.
