Jimmy Choo launches collection in collaboration with Rafael Mantesso and his bull terrier

EVENT Jimmy Choo Pooch Party for Capsule Collection

WHERE Lala Curio,Wan Chai 

: What do you get when you pair man's best friend with a woman's favourite accessory? A winning combination, which luxury brand Jimmy Choo tapped into with its latest collaboration with Instagram-famous artist Rafael Mantesso and his English bull terrier, also named Jimmy Choo.

To celebrate the launch, the brand hosted an afternoon party for dog lovers. Models Gaile Lok, Cara G and Ana R turned up with their beloved pooches. Power couples Leonard and Candice Chao, and Alan Lo and Yenn Wong were also spotted at the get-together. Dogs enjoyed star treatment at the event. While socialities sipped on Champagne and martinis, the pooches were offered "dogtinis". A special spa and grooming service was also available on-site.

OVERHEARD My pup loves my Jimmy Choos too. He cuddles up next to them sometimes.

CHIC CHAT with Rafael Mantesso

What has changed since Jimmy Choo the dog became a social media sensation?

We are a lot busier. We are working on a book launch in October featuring 150 new photos. Other than this, not much [has changed]. Jimmy and I are still best friends.
