Pamela Quinzi kicked off fashion week last night with a bang. The event took place at Room Service, and welcomed fashion lovers from all over the world. Before the show began, Pamela got up on stage and spoke about her love for fashion, New York City and its fans. Pamela stated, "I want to thank New York City for being so nice and really great to me and my line I could not have done this without you! You are all the greatest! I came from Italy just 2 years ago and here I am living a dream." Her humble speech was heart felt through out the crowd and from that point on the show was nothing but a wonderful success.

In honor of the its past 15 years, Jimmy Choo Ltd held an exhibition featuring 15 of its best selling shoe designs in a pop-up store inside Paris retailer Le Bon Marché.
The exhibit, which opened Wednesday, has the vintage shoe designs on display safely in glass cases. In addition to the 15 commemorated designs, customers can also view a capsule collection dubbed "Icons" that was inspired by the vintage pieces. "Icons" includes famous designs like the Sex and the City "Feather" shoe that Carrie famously lost in an early episode, and ‘Fleur’, a pair of striped heels Tamara Mellon wore when she met the queen. Customers will also be able to flip through electronic copies of the commemorative book "Jimmy Choo XV," that tells the companies history through the featured 15 on iPads.
The pop-up exhibit will be available for viewing until December 31st this year.
