In my shoes

In My Shoes: A Memoir? September 30, 2014
A juicy true story about?sex, drugs, money, power,?high heels, and overcoming?adversity.

Tamara Mellon used her business savvy,?creative eye, and flair for design to build Jimmy?Choo into a premier name in global fashion.?But despite her eventual fame and fortune,?Mellon didn?t have an easy road to success. Her?seemingly glamorous beginnings were marked?by a tumultuous family life, battles with?anxiety and depression, and a stint in rehab.?Now Mellon shares the whole larger-thanlife?story?from her time as a young editor at?Vogue to her partnership with cobbler Jimmy?Choo to her very public relationships.
In creating the shoes that became a fixture on Sex and the City and red carpets around the?world, Mellon relied on her own impeccable?sense of what her customers wanted. What?she didn?t know at the time was that success?would come at a high price: struggles with an?obstinate business partner, a conniving first?CEO, a turbulent marriage, and a mother who?tried to steal her hard-earned wealth.
