Sandra Choi marks 30 years at Jimmy Choo with a Spring 2026 collection that rethinks femininity through lace, pastels, and contrasts.
Summary
- For Spring 2026, Sandra Choi re-examined Jimmy Choo’s core identity, creating the “Future Feminine” collection without referencing the archives.
- Lace was a primary material, appearing on pumps, slingbacks, bags, and even a new ballerina-sneaker hybrid.
- The collection balanced delicate elements with tougher ones, reintroducing the house’s iconic biker boot and debuting new clogs and loafers with buckle details.
For Spring 2026, Sandra Choi asked what Jimmy Choo might look like if it began again. Instead of pulling from the archive, she turned to the house’s principles: femininity, glamour, and a devotion to fashion itself. What emerged was a collection titled Future Feminine, presented in Milan within a courtyard filled with towering floral installations.
Lace carried the theme forward, shaping roses around the FAIZ pump, surfacing as corsages on slingbacks, and perforating Nappa leather for the CINCH bag. Even sneakers got an airy treatment: the SUNNY ballerina trainer appeared in sheer pastels and monochromes, a hybrid of sport and delicacy. In each case, lace worked as both decoration and function, allowing pieces to feel light yet wearable.
Material play ran throughout. Suede was printed to resemble denim, cut into gathered bags and loafers, while the SCARLETT and MANON styles layered lace over rounded vamps and drop heels. The biker boot, a house icon since the early 2000s, returned in black leather and soft toffee suede. New clogs and loafers carried buckles and kilt details, underscoring the tension between toughness and refinement that has long defined Choo.
Accessories expanded the collection’s contradictions. The BON BON bag came in lace pastels, while the new BAR FILO style drew from the folds of filo pastry, its rigid frame softened by curves in Nappa leather. Each design blurred edges between playful and precise, fragile and strong.
The collection will be available in Jimmy Choo boutiques worldwide and online starting March 2026, just ahead of the spring season.
