Uggs were my guilty pleasure until I was on a flight to London and the airline staff said, ‘We’re all so excited to see what shoes you’re wearing!’ I had Uggs on. So now we’ve done a collaboration where I took traditional Uggs and decorated them with the DNA of Jimmy Choo — animal prints and studs.”

Quote Du Jour: Tamara Mellon Wants a Talk Show

Premiere Of Mother And Child

“I would love to do a chat show for women. I would love to interview working women and talk to them about the difficulties, the challenges, how to be a mother and work and look great. I would love to talk to women about how to run their lives, that’s what I would like to do.”

The Jimmy Choo co-founder tells The Cut. Hopefully she’ll have some clothes on, and won’t be sitting down with these women nude like she is in the photo after the jump.

Tamara Mellon, founder of Jimmy Choo, revealed her closet in her new 7,140 square-foot penthouse duplex. Mellon had an entire wall knocked down to add six feet of space. The expansion was needed to accommodate her collection of shoes and accessories.

After 800 pairs of shoes, Ms. Mellon has lost count of how many pairs of shoes she owns. With the exception of a pair of Ugg boots and a couple of pairs of Nike sneakers, all her shoes are Jimmy Choo!
