Jimmy Choo’s list of luxury hotel partners in creating fashionable treats is getting longer. Latest partnership as announced by them is with The Berkeley Hotel located in London’s fashionable Knightsbridge area. Named “Pret-a-Portea – The Jimmy Choo Collection” the fashionable afternoon tea tea service inspired by the shoe designer will be served at the Berkeley from 13th – 19th October.
To create the Choo collection, pastry chefs pored over the brand’s iconic shoes and accessories from Choo’s FW2014 collection in the kitchens of the luxury hotel, examining the materials, embellishments, prints and patterns of the latest catwalk designs.
Guests of the hotel’s Pret-a-Portea Jimmy Choo Collection can expect to nibble daintily on cakes and pastries shaped like the brand’s classic ‘Anouk’ shoe, a pointy-toe pump that comes in a rainbow of colors.
“We are excited to have our Jimmy Choo collection immortalized by the Berkeley’s Pret-a-Portea, which after nearly 10 years has become such a respected institution in the fashion world. I can’t wait to see our designs interpreted as edible delicacies!” Sandra Choi, Creative Director Jimmy Choo.
Cakes, pastries, and cookies are given a runway makeover, inspired by the designs of luxury brands like Christian Louboutin, Miu Miu, DSquared, Victoria Beckham and Oscar de la Renta. Louboutin’s Pigalle, the brand’s classic patent pump, for instance, has been turned into an edible cookie with turquoise icing and its signature red sole, while chefs paid homage to Miu Miu by replicating the brand’s exotic skin tote bag with chocolate pecan moelleux.
Attendees of London Fashion Week in September, meanwhile, can also partake in the hotel’s regular Pret-a-Portea, which is served during the afternoon daily in The Caramel Room. The Pret-a-Portea Jimmy Choo Collection service runs October 13 – 19. Both services are £41. Upgrade to a glass of champagne for £51 to £57.
