Tamara Mellon is poised to quit as chief creative officer of Jimmy Choo, the leading
shoemaker she founded 15 years ago.
Joshua Schulman, current chief executive of Jimmy Choo, will also depart from the company, banking sources said.
Ms Mellon's exit from Jimmy Choo will bring to an end the entrepreneur's relationship with the brand that she set up with Mr Choo, a Malaysian-born cobbler from Hackney in east London.
The high-level personnel changes at Jimmy Choo come five months after the business was acquired for over £500m by Labelux, the European private luxury group that owns Bally.
