Jimmy Choo and Jean Paul Gaultier embrace rebellion in their new collection.

Two fashion powerhouses, Jimmy Choo and Jean Paul Gaultier, join creative forces for an innovative collaboration. Their parallel legacies span multifaceted cultural mixes, a love of craft, and an idiosyncratic ideology of glamorous rebellion. The collection proposes a capsule of greatest hits, brought to life by global phenomenon, Kylie Minogue who not only has a deeply personal relationship with both houses, she also embodies the collection&rsquo;s spirit of individuality and empowerment.

The collection features a line of six different shoes, from kitten heels to pumps to boots. Mixing the two brands' identities together, the Jimmy Choo x Jean Paul Gaultier collaboration redefines rebellion while paying close attention to craft. With clear national inspiration, the two brands live in different spheres&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;Jimmy Choo with an eclectic British identity and Jean Paul Gaultier with an elegant Parisian one. In this collection, creative director Sandra Choi of Jimmy Choo and Florence T&eacute;tier of Jean Paul Gaultier merge the two styles into one.

In an on-the-nose take on their cities of inspiration, Choi and T&eacute;tier created a shoe with the Eiffel Tower and Big Ben acting as the heels. Held by clear plexiglass, The Wedge shoe sticks out like a sore thumb in comparison to the more expressive designs featured in the collection. Many pieces combine neutral shades with a pop of expression, whether that's by adding bright hues or distinctive detailing.

This stylistic tension only adds to the rebellious nature of the collection. Designs feature corset-style lacing, bulky gold chains, tattoo-inspired prints, and bulky cuffs that give the collection a palpable angst. Married seamlessly with Jimmy Choo's classic, sleek silhouette, this collection finds the perfect balance between subversion and conformity. In a way, the Jimmy Choo x Jean Paul Gaultier collaboration proves that the two brands share more similarities than differences.
"We share outlooks and beliefs that we were able to translate to this collection," Jimmy Choo said about the collection. "[It] celebrates craft, the distinct DNA of both these beloved brands, and&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;appropriately enough&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;the power and strength of individuality.&rdquo;
