Jimmy Choo to raise £500m to buy back fashion house Monday, 14th March 2011
London based luxury footwear designer Jimmy Choo has appointed Daniel Stewart as advisor for a bid on the label that bears his name, although he may have to fight LVMH and Valentino in the process.Set up with a £150,000 loan in 1996, the fashion house is reported to be attracting bids from Parisian group LVMH and Valentino, whose catwalk show last week was attended by Robert Bensoussan, ex-chief executive of Jimmy Choo. Having sold off his stocks ten years ago, Choo is now reportedly looking for a backer from the private equity sector, although if a suitable buyer cannot be found the house may float the company. Tamara Mellon retains 15 per cent of the company, who still heads up promotions for new Jimmy Choo products.
