Could the rumours be true … that a certain Jimmy Choo has been confirmed as the next high street collaboration? We hear on fashion’s very stylish grapevine that one of the most exciting accessory brands in the world will be launching a collection with H&M.

The British label that has brought us some of the most to-die-for shoes imaginable is likely to unveil the new range in November. It is set to include women’s clothing and accessories as well as must-have items for men. The collaboration follows hot on the heels of other design greats who have worked with H&M, including Comme des Garcons and most recently Matthew Williamson.

Tamara Mellon, founder of Jimmy Choo, says: “We are privileged to be among the fashion greats who have been affiliated with H&M. Jimmy Choo will bring a sophisticated, fashion forward, accessible and glamorous collection.
