<p><b>Jimmy Choo Yeang Keat</b> (born 15 November 1948<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>) is a Malaysian fashion designer based in the United Kingdom.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Early_life">Early life</h2></div>

<p>Choo was born in 1948 in the <a href="Crown_Colony_of_Penang" title="Crown Colony of Penang">Crown Colony of Penang</a>, <a href="Malaysia" title="Malaysia">Malaysia</a>, into a family of <a href="Shoemaker" class="mw-redirect" title="Shoemaker">shoemakers</a>. Of <a href="Malaysian_Chinese" title="Malaysian Chinese">Chinese</a> descent, his family name is <a href="Zhou_(surname)" title="Zhou (surname)">Chew</a> (<a href="Chinese_language" title="Chinese language">Chinese</a>: <span lang="zh">周</span>), but it was misspelled on his <a href="Birth_certificate" title="Birth certificate">birth certificate</a> as Choo. Choo's father, a shoemaker who made all of his shoes by hand, taught him the craft. "My parents were shoemakers and I have followed my father's lead. He inspired me," said Jimmy Choo.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He made his first pair of shoes when he was 11 years old—a pair of slippers.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:0_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:2_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Between 1982 and 1984, Choo studied at Cordwainers Technical College in <a href="Hackney%2C_London" title="Hackney, London">Hackney</a> (now part of the <a href="London_College_of_Fashion" title="London College of Fashion">London College of Fashion</a>) in London.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He went to a design firm to work after graduation, wishing to remain in London permanently instead of returning to Malaysia.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Career">Career</h2></div>

<p>After college, Choo worked at two design companies for a total of nine years before starting his own business. He quickly started his own business. Choo initially started with the help of the <a href="Prince's_Trust" class="mw-redirect" title="Prince's Trust">Prince's Trust</a>. Choo's parents emigrated to Britain to help him get started, and he eventually expanded the business by opening his first shop in 1986, renting an old hospital building. His craftsmanship and designs were soon noticed at <a href="London_Fashion_Week" title="London Fashion Week">London Fashion Week</a> in 1988. After seeing his creations, <i><a href="Vogue_(magazine)" title="Vogue (magazine)">Vogue</a></i> featured his shoes in an eight page spread. Choo has said that his designs became significantly more popular after the <i>Vogue</i> coverage.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_5-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Patronage from <a href="Diana%2C_Princess_of_Wales" title="Diana, Princess of Wales">Princess Diana</a> in the early 1990s further bolstered his image.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_5-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>In 1996, Choo co-founded Jimmy Choo Ltd. with <a href="Vogue_(British_magazine)" class="mw-redirect" title="Vogue (British magazine)">British <i>Vogue</i></a> magazine accessories editor <a href="Tamara_Mellon" title="Tamara Mellon">Tamara Mellon</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In April 2001, Choo sold his 50% stake in the company for £10 million.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_8-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He has since concentrated his work on the exclusive Jimmy Choo couture line produced under license from Jimmy Choo Ltd.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Jimmy Choo London line, also known as Jimmy Choo Ready-To-Wear or, simply, Jimmy Choo, is under the purview of Tamara Mellon. The ready-to-wear line has expanded to include accessories such as handbags.

</p><p>In 2009, Choo claimed that his brand was a favourite of <a href="Diana%2C_Princess_of_Wales" title="Diana, Princess of Wales">Diana, Princess of Wales</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>In 2023, Greek rap avant-garde artist Roi 6/12 released his album "Strip club" with the single "Jimmy Choo" which mentions the designer. The lyrics recite how wearing shoes designed by Jimmy Choo assists in the achievement of an extramarital affair between a male and a female.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
