Tamara Mellon, C.E.O Vidal Sassoon Company
Tamara Mellon the C.E.O. of the Vidal Sassoon Company, used to work as an assistant to fashion director Sarajane Hoare at British Vogue in 1990. Hoare quickly saw that this quiet young thing had an obsession with shoes that was extraordinary even by fashion-magazine standards,” Vanity Fair will later report. After a time, Mellon will begin regularly visiting Hackney cobbler Jimmy Choo. After she is appointed accessories editor at the magazine, she will collaborate with him frequently.
Jimmy Choo and his niece, Sandra Choi
Choo is turning out two collections—of 24 styles each—per year. He has been joined in his studio by his niece, Sandra Choi, who enrolls at the elite London design school Central Saint Martins. Though her interest is in clothes, Choi’s work at her uncle’s studio will become so all-consuming that she will quit Central Saint Martins after a year to work with him full-time. Now, she is the creative director of Jimmy Choo starting last April 2013.
