We’ve gone gaga for the latest handbags and clutches from Jimmy Choo, so it’s sad news to hear that the company’s accessory design director Alvaro Gonzalez is leaving the nest.
Gonzalez joined Jimmy Choo as a freelance designer eight years ago, and has since risen up the ranks. His role as accessory design director saw him responsible for the look of the label’s handbags, small leather goods, scarves, and eyewear.
He will leave the company at the end of July, although no details of his next appointment have been released. It’s also unclear who will take over his post at Jimmy Choo, if indeed any names have been thrown into the ring.
The only thing that is certain is that the person will have to have considerable talent to excite us the way that Alvaro Gonzalez has over the past few seasons. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors, and hope to see him designing more delicious purses really soon.
