A heightened sensibility of the Jimmy Choo woman’s essence inspires the Autumn 2026 collection dedicated to boldness, to dynamic confidence and to innate creativity.
I started with a very precise intention; I was drawn to the idea of dressing the leg, extending our canvas. Boots are the focus for this collection; I love the youthful, confident energy they give to women, they are practical, but they are also transformative. And I wanted to translate that spirit into the rest of the collection. It’s an assertive take on glamour inspired by our heritage.” – Sandra Choi
The Autumn Collection is an interplay between youth and experience, between Jimmy Choo celebrating its 30th year, yet forever being young at heart. This manifests in pieces that have a dynamic, infectious energy as well as sophisticated silhouettes and expert craftsmanship.
In a logical expression of exaggeration – a literal heightening – boots are key. A central proposition of Jimmy Choo, here they are proposed as a fully realised wardrobe; their attitude and attributes shape the collection as a whole. Boots can be pragmatic or fetishist, extravagant or utilitarian, for everyday or a special performance. All those notions inspire this collection, translated across a diverse spectrum of Jimmy Choo creations. And when paired with the season’s hero bags, their power is amplified.
Throughout, they express timeless and universal codes of the brand – of confidence, of celebration. And, alongside, there is an embrace of craft, of footwear and accessories as canvasses for exploration of different techniques and methodologies, expressions of creativity infused with beauty. There’s an intentional emphasis on styles that can be casual by day and continue through the night, an effortless practicality.
The offering encompasses every facet of Jimmy Choo boots – from low-heeled knee-high day styles, stacked Western boots and evening fantasies. The iconic Jimmy Choo BIKER, a tough girl staple, is a central proposition; offered in a high-rise knee boot with a buckle detail at the ankle presented in a slick, tough leather. The original is re-presented in biker leather in brown, black and velvet suede – a reincarnation of this beloved modern classic.
At the other end of the spectrum, a Y2K reference of a new iconic silhouette, this season the SCARLETT is translated in lace and Nappa leather with signature corset-lacing running along the foot and leg, rising to over-the-knee or ankle height. The CALY boot infers a modern take on a Mod mood, proposed over the knee on a chunky 85mm heel, or cut sharply at mid-calf with a 45mm heel, both in highly polished soft leather. The low-heeled EYLA sling back finished with a narrowly rounded toe provides a feminine day aesthetic that is practical, timeless and refined. Originally showcased in 2000, the distinctive spotted printed snake continues animating shoes and the CINCH bag.
The gesture of the ‘dressed’ leg is reflected in styles with extravagant bows and floral detailing. The COKO perches a laser-cut rosette on the tip of a two-tone evening sandal – heel and toe in black and bone satin respectively, it is sliced graphically across the middle of the sole. The ISSY PUMP, balanced on a 50mm Drop heel, sports an exaggerated side knot across a low pointed vamp in soft, shiny leather and a self-assured intense shade of blue lagoon, also seen colouring the BAR holdall bag.
Inspired by the BIKER attitude, there is an appropriation of masculine wardrobe staples, translated to the inherently feminine; showcases for traditional shoemaking and leather working savoir-faire. The MARGOT with lacing borrows its broguing details from classic men’s shoes, striking in the black and bone two tone contrast. The CINCH bag is proposed in sartorial herringbone wool, also used to enliven the ELIOT slipper and SCARLETT pump.
In accessories, the BAR bag family expands – its metal hardware detailing crossing to animate the ESKA LOAFER, strapped across unapologetic leather fringes in black or deep merlot. The BAR HOLDALL, a pragmatic day bag in two sizes, comes in crackled black leather with an undertone of toffee, lagoon blue or deep merlot leather; meanwhile the BAR HOBO is animated with elongated fringes, underscoring the movement and energy that characterises every offering this season.
The collection was presented during Milan Fashion Week against a multi-room set that was an interpretation of Sandra Choi’s London design studio. Having overseen the design since the brand was established in 1996, the space was an intentional narrative of what goes on behind the scenes of making a collection, the making of Jimmy Choo.
