Once the Jimmy Choo brand was integrated with the private Italian luxury goods group Labelux, the 44-year-old entrepreneur decided it was time to go. Since the brands $800 million acquisition by Labelux, Mellon has had waning interest in the brand. Another higher-up in the company, current Chief Executive Joshua Schulman will also leave Jimmy Choo in early 2012.
Labelux has also recently purchased Derek Lam and Bally among other luxury labels.
Talking about the split with Mellon, Labelux’s chief executive Reinhard Mieck told the Financial Times, “Jimmy Choo is an outstanding brand with an enormous growth potential and the ability to deliver material growth synergies across our group. With a successful transition behind them, we respect their wish to move on to other challenges.”

We reported back in June that Versace is coming to H&M and we now finally have a sneak peak at the collection. New photos of the collection were published in Vogue Russia, and the clothes are as Versace as it gets. Seriously, you would never be able to tell that they were made specifically for H&M.
There are bright colors, crazy prints and some amazing leather jackets. And if you’re not into their bright, bold designs, there will also be some amazing jewelry. Big, gold gaudy jewelry. Very Versace.
The collection is set to hit H&M store this November. H&M has collaborated with some amazing lines in the last few years.
MORE PICTURES AFTER THE JUMP!

K Stew was sporting a really short Reem Acra dress matched with sky-high Jimmy Choo peep toe sling-back pumps. Love the shoes!

After years and years of looking really uncomfortable on the red carpet, Kristen is finally maturing. She’s standing much more confidently which makes her look much better. That’s probably why I even noticed her hot dress.
Kristen definitely looked hotter than the model. She wore the dress much more confidently and we all know that confidence is key.
Thumbs up Kristen! You’ve come a looooooong way.

We love a good bargain here at Hollyscoop and this has to be one of the most dramatic splurge vs. steal we've ever found!
If you have REALLY deep pockets and don't mind spending $795 on a pair of slippers than Jimmy Choo is your man. If you're a savvy shopper you'll ditch the designer version for a pair of Steve Madden's instead.
SPLURGE: Jimmy Choo 'Allena Thong' @ saks.com for $795.
STEAL: Steve Madden 'Seeri' Thongs @ stevemadden.com for $59.95.

Shoe giant Jimmy Choo founder Tamara Mellon is sueing her mother Ann Yeardye for $10 million dollars claiming that she is holding stock that no longer belongs to her.
Mellon says, "I am baffled by my mother's refusal to return assets which rightfully do not belong to her."
Mellon, who is dating actor Christian Slater, sold her company back in 2004 after her line became wildly popular among celebrities, fashionistas, and socialites.
