For over 25 years, Jean-Michel has been designing shoes starting out as a buyer and store manager for legendary shoe designer Charles Jourdan. In 1999, he launched his own luxury women’s shoe line. The brand was an immediate success in the fashion world, and synonymous with his vision of the modern, sexy woman: a woman with an independent attitude, a joie de vivre, and a strong, fiery spirit. His signature shoes stand apart in their colorful and metallic hues, glitter finishes, animal prints and exotic skins fusing an ultra-feminine aesthetic with edgy rock ‘n’ roll sensibility. He has a celebrity following including Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sara Jessica Parker, Jessica Alba, Scarlett Johanssen, Penelope Cruz, Kate Hudson, Mary-Kate Olsen and Oprah Winfrey.
