PROJECT PEP – You, Your Shoes and 72

Jimmy Choo and the Elton John AIDS Foundation have launched the Project PEP collection to support the Simelela Rape Centre.

Help raise awareness for this worthy cause by entering our photo competition. Upload a photo based on the theme ‘You, Your Shoes and 72′. You could win exclusive prizes and have your work exhibited at the Project PEP launch event at Selfridges London at the end of October.

Why is 72 the key number for this project?

Jimmy Choo announces the launch of Project PEP with the Elton John AIDS Foundation. This project is designed to support the funding of the Simelela centre in South Africa. The vibrant capsule collection features a distinctive and collectible punk rock motif print representing Jimmy Choo’s passionate and individualist spirit.

This cause has particular resonance for Jimmy Choo because of its support and empowerment of women. In 2005 Jimmy Choo Founder and President Tamara Mellon worked with the Elton John AIDS Foundation on a charity auction project ‘Four Inches’ that assisted with the first funding of the Simelela centre.

“We are women helping women and we are proud to continue our collaboration with the compelling and urgent initiatives of the Elton John AIDS Foundation and to provide a voice for under-privileged women in South Africa. We are excited to launch this social media campaign which we believe is a fun, light-hearted way to make people aware of a very serious subject.” – Tamara Mellon, Founder & President, Jimmy Choo.

Jimmy Choo will donate 25% of the net sales from Project PEP to the Elton John AIDS Foundation.  With this funding, the Elton John AIDS Foundation can directly support the pioneering Simelela Rape Centre in Cape Town that was set up in 2005, with the mission to administer victims of abuse with the vital HIV preventative PEP medication (Post Exposure Prophylaxis) and provide the infrastructure for medical, counselling and legal support.

The proceeds raised by Project PEP will enable the clinic to stay open day and night providing 24 hour/7 days a week access to the vital life saving treatment that has to be administered within the first 72 hours of exposure to HIV.

The slogan for the campaign is ‘You, Your Shoes and 72′ and many of the winning images will be showcased at the global launch of Project PEP at Selfridges London on 29th October and at Jimmy Choo Project PEP events globally. Over 100 winners will be chosen to win products from the Project PEP range, with a Grand Prize offering the overall winner 7 pairs of shoes and 2 bags from Jimmy Choo.

We want in Louboutin’s world…

Christian Louboutin, the undisputed master of modern footwear, has revealed a sophisticated and whimsical website. Past the Copperfield-esque prompt and a “go to collection” click, you’re virtually transported to a shoe collection in the woods complete with a buzzing nymph-faced Louboutin.

Help yourself inside a box or two. You’ll find fancy footwear in the “High Heels” box with classic pumps, birdcage heels and bowed satin mules. Or peek inside the “Extremely High” box and pause on”Differa” – the Ice Patent Blue naughty strappy sandal.

In true witty Louboutin fashion, there’s a shoebox named “Total Madness.” Here you’ll find “Dillian” – the metallic flower-laden T-strap strappy pump. It’s the shoe Louboutin designed for Phillip Lim’s spring runway show. And WE LOVE it!

When you’ve exhausted yourself in the Spring/Summer boxes, you’ll want to click on the “Classics” where you can peruse what looks like a private boudoir of Louboutin standbys, or peek behind the curtain of handbags. And when you’re ready to pull the trigger, each page prompts you find where in the world you’ll find your Louboutins. Happy Shopping.
