High street chain H&M has teamed up with the luxury footwear brand Jimmy Choo in its latest designer collaboration.

The fashion retailer has created a collection of shoes and bags with the sought-after brand to appear in 200 shops worldwide on November 14 this year.

The iconic Jimmy Choo shoes and accessories usually sell for hundreds of pounds. They were immortalised in Sex and the City and worn by celebrities at countless red carpet events.

President Tamara Mellon follows in the footsteps of Matthew Williamson, Roberto Cavalli and Karl Lagerfeld in the deal with the retail giant. It is H&M’s first collaboration with an accessories brand.

It follows a recent high street trend for teaming up with celebrities and designers. TopShop has worked with supermodel Kate Moss and Sixties icon Celia Birtwell while Mango has worked with actress Penelope Cruz.

Previous designer lines for H&M have been distributed to as few as 15 stores around the country and have seen customers queuing from the early hours to buy items of clothing.

An H&M spokeswoman said the shoes would be limited to selected stores and are expected to cost from £30 for a pair of ballet pumps to £170 for a pair of boots. A pair of ballet flats from this season's main Jimmy Choo collection cost around £245 and a pair of boots around £650. There will also be a men's collection of shoes, bags and accessories.

Mellon said: “Jimmy Choo will bring to H&M a sophisticated, fashion forward, accessible and glamorous collection – the perfect party pieces to buy now and wear out that night.”
