Jimmy Choo Yeang Keat (November 1948 - ) is a women's shoe designer who has experience making world-class brand shoes to satisfy customers in both domestic and international markets. He is known for creating collections of shoes which are viewed as stylish, hip, and highly appealing to women who are trendsetters. Jimmy Choo has said that he originally got into the shoe business because his father was a shoemaker, and he watched him as he made shoes by hand.

Choo would often tell his fans and the public, "I am very addicted to shoes. I have no idea how I got 'obsessed' with shoes. I was raised up with shoes, they were a part of my life, and a very big part of the family business. I always see, hear, smell, and note every single step of how shoes are made. As a boy, I had many colorful and animated dreams about becoming a famous shoe designer. I’m no longer chasing my dreams anymore; I have been riding very high fulfilling my dream for decades and decades."

From 1982 to the end of 1984, Choo studied at Cordwainers Technical College in Hackney (now the London College of Fashion) in London, England. He went to work at a designer fashion firm after graduation; he wanted to remain in London and not go back to Malaysia. Today, Choo lives in London and his company continues to produce expensive high-end women's shoes. He also has an extensive purse, handbag, and range of accessories.
