Jimmy Choo Love 100 pointed: a 100mm stiletto heel merging Art Nouveau elegance with contemporary luxury, a red-carpet staple.

About this subject

Created in 1996 by Malaysian designer Jimmy Choo and businesswoman Tamara Mellon, the Jimmy Choo Love 100 is one of the brand's most iconic models. The shoe features a pointed toe and a 10 cm stiletto heel, which elongates the silhouette and gives an imposing posture. Its aesthetics often incorporate Art Nouveau elements, such as fluid lines and floral metal or rhinestone details, referencing the late 19th-century artistic movement.

Artisanal construction uses patent leather, satin, or velvet, often combined with Swarovski crystal appliqués. Each pair takes about 40 hours to finish in the brand's Italian factory. The Love 100 is a constant presence at the Oscars, Met Gala, and celebrity weddings, worn by names like Kate Middleton, Beyoncé, and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Beyond the iconic design, the model is recognized for its relative comfort for such a high heel: the cushioned insole and weight distribution on the toe minimize discomfort. The average price is around $700, varying with finishes. The 'pointed' version, with a slim toe and no platform, maximizes elegance and demands more balance from the wearer.

Art Nouveau influences not only the ornaments but also the color palette: moss green, peacock blue, and metallic golds appear in limited editions. The brand also offers customization with precious stones, making each pair a unique piece. The Love 100 represents the fusion between luxury footwear tradition and contemporary design innovation.
