Fashion fans get a new shoe to Choo

GENUFLECTIONS before the altar of Gucci and deferential bows to Dolce and Gabbana - the fawning and fluttering normally on display in the Brown Thomas Shoe Rooms was reserved for just one type of footwear last night.

The designs of a Malaysian genius lured the ladies to the launch party of his Grafton St boutique where they gathered to collectively splutter over his Jimmy Choo shoes.

With barely a nod in the direction of Prada and with little interest in pausing for a FCUK, they teetered towards the shrine of the Choo, eager to pay their dues.
