Malaysia wants its Jimmy Choos to come home
Could this latest call for Malaysia's celebrity fashion designers and creative personalities to return home, have been prompted by the news that David Gan, well-known stylist to local celebrities, is now a Singaporean?The call might be a bit more convincing if KL possessed the same haute couture draw as say Paris, London or New York. Heck, even if we had the same draw as Shanghai, we might stand a better chance.
Jimmy Choo by his own admission was inspired by his father who "was not just making shoes... he was creating something to do with his heart and his mind, and transferring it to the human feet. He told me that it was not just about making shoes and money. It was about being an artist. There is no point if it is not art."
You can read more about him from this 2003 Telegraph interview.
