Jimmy Choo launches Project PEP capsule collection for charity at Selfridges

The shoe designer has teamed up with the Elton John AIDS Foundation to create the ‘PEP-up Shop’ featuring a host of limited edition Jimmy Choo products, made especially for the project.

The event, which takes place at Selfridges from Friday 30 October, will only last for 72 hours (yes we’ll be queuing from dawn too), and will include exclusive products such as a cuff, ID-tag and a mobile strap.

And, as we told you before, you won’t need to feel guilty about spending as Jimmy Choo will donate 25% of the sales of the Project PEP capsule collection directly to the Simelela centre. This will give victims access to vital life saving treatments that have to be administered within the first 72 hours of exposure to HIV. We see it as giving our annual charity donation early.

And it doesn’t end there. The designer has also created website and is asking everyone to upload photos of themselves wearing their Choo’s, as part of a campaign entitled ‘You, Your Shoes and 72.’

Images will be showcased at the global launch of Project PEP at Selfridges and 100 of the best pictures will win products from the Jimmy Choo capsule collection.

Top ten alternatives to Henry Holland tights

By Andrea Petrou on August 18th, 2009

Now I know I should stay away from tights and brightly coloured ones at that, after my past fashion faux pas, which I admitted to you last week.

However, this week, we couldn’t resist telling you about Pixie Geldof’s new fashion look, bought on by flamboyan designer Henry Holland.

The up and coming fashion fellow has designed a collection of hosiery for Pretty Polly, which launched this week at Selfridges. And celebs, including Pixi Geldof and Agyness deyn are already covering their pins in his designs made from sheer and opaque fabrics.

These include his trademark purple, with a cream rhinestone-encrusted band around the thigh and mid calf, and a style he’s christened the “moc stock” which looks like a pair of stockings but is in fact a far more practical pair of tights.

The tights are a leg hugging £10 per pair. They are available from Selfridges now and nationwide from September.

However, for those that can’t get to the store or can’t wait that long we’ve put together a range of other alternatives, after all we can’t deny any longer that the tights season will be soon upon us, and dusting out last season’s ones might bring a few shocks.
