Why women Choos to be sexy

Whoever says shoes were made for walking is repeating an un-sexy cliche. As far as many modern women are concerned, shoes were made for looking good, feeling good and hear this well — feeling sexy.

London-based shoemaker Jimmy Choo knows this too well. Feminine power, luxury and sexiness form the peg of every design which recognizes that the ankle and the foot are important erogeneous zones.

To embody this sexiness, Jimmy Choo chose Nicole Kidman as image model. “Nicole's character portrays the multi-faceted qualities of the Jimmy Choo woman for this season — strong, sexy with a beguiling sense of mystery,” says creative director Sandra Choi.

Nicole Kidman enjoys stepping into her new shoes as Jimmy Choo image model. “I really enjoy being able to play a role that was strong, sexy and in control. I got into a relationship with the photographer and Mikael Jansson is very intuitive, he knows what I am thinking and feeling and is able to translate it through the camera.“ Mikael “explored themes of film noir and referenced the tension of Hitchcock’s empowered  heroines.”

Looking at Nicole’s photographs,  you can almost hear a sultry whisper and feel “a quiet eroticism” as Choo describes it. Nicole effortlessly looks seductive in the campaign.

Since Jimmy Choo founded his shoe company in 1996 with British Vogue magazine accessories editor Tamara Mellon, the sexy image of the brand has been boosted by red carpet stars as well as personalities like Sarah Jessica Parker who wore Blahniks and Choos for Sex and the City. Princess Diana was also a Choo wearer.


“When a woman goes for a pair of shoes and she really likes it, it's a relationship that no man can enter,” laughs Gerald Liut, Jimmy Choo director of wholesale for Asia. “Choosing shoes involves a feeling, an attitude.”

Liut says stilettos are the mainstay of sexiness. “Stilettos  never left, even if for a while, chunky shoes came in to provide comfort. But what happened was that platforms provided stability and comfort. Even in the ’60s, women wore stilettos and they had to suffer.

“Now we see the return of the single sole. Prada brought it back four years ago and everybody followed. Europe is also bringing back pointed shoes this year. All catwalks and red carpet shoes now are pointy,” Liut notes.

Kitten heels are coming in as well, he adds. “Shoes are now about individuality. I have noticed that women are now more daring and they wear whatever they feel expresses their personality. Even in non-winter climes, I see women no longer afraid to wear boots.”

Flying in town to launch the autumn-winter collection of Jimmy Choo during a lifestyle press lunch hosted at the Peninsula Manila by Anton Huang, EVP-GM of Stores Specialists Inc., Liut feels the vibe of Manila's stylish women. These are women who like looking good and feeling sexy. Yes, they choose Choos.

Mikael Daez says Cosmo Bachelor Bash 2012 will be last time he goes half-naked

Dahil sa bini-build up bilang isa sa mga leading men ng GMA-7 ang model-turned-actor na si Mikael Daez, mababawasan na raw ang pagpapa-pictorial niya nang sexy.

Aniya, kailangan na raw kasing wholesome ang image niya.

Gagampanan ni Mikael ang role na Carlos Miguel sa remake ng 2002 drama series na Sana Ay Ikaw Na Nga.

Si Dingdong Dantes ang unang gumanap ng role na ito.

Pakiramdam ni Mikael, may responsibilidad na siyang dapat gampanan at imaheng dapat ingatan dahil sa oportunidad na ibinigay sa kanya ng Kapuso Network.

“Actually, wala naman silang sinabing tigilan ko ang mga sexy pictorials,” sabi ni Mikael nang makausap ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) sa press launch ng Sana Ay Ikaw Na Nga, sa Excess Super Club sa Timog, Quezon City, nung nakaraang Huwebes, August 23.

“They know for a fact na nagsimula ako bilang model on print, ramp, and commercial.

“Siguro ako na rin ang kusang magbabawas sa ganyan, kasi nga iba na ang pag-build up sa atin.

“Hindi naman tayo bini-build up as a sex symbol, kundi isang leading man sa isang drama series.

“So, it’s all up to me and my management kung ano ang mga next step na gagawin namin for this new image of mine.

“I know that it will be starting all over again.

“But if it will benefit me and my career now, ok lang na magsimula ulit tayo ng bagong image.

“Para lang bumagay sa mga ginagawa ko ngayon,” pahayag pa ng 24-year-old na binata.

Sexy photos

Hindi kaila sa lahat na maraming sexy photos ni Mikael ang nagkalat sa Internet.

Galing daw ang mga iyon sa mga ginawa niyang photo shoots para sa iba’t ibang photographers, designers, at products.

“Karamihan naman ay topless ako. Yun kasi ang gusto ng kliyente, e,” nakangiting sabi ni Mikael.

“Kailangan daw may ipakitang abs, muscles. Basta bentahe yung katawan talaga.

“Ok lang naman, because model naman ako and I’m just following instructions.

“Normal na working day iyon for any male model.”

Sa isang fashion show nga raw ay kinailangan niyang magsuot ng underwear at rumampa sa harap ng maraming tao.

“They were really short-shorts. But I guess, underwear na rin siya kung titingnan mo!” sabay tawa niya.

“Wala ka namang choice, e. You have to wear it kasi kasama iyon sa trabaho mo.

“Pero may suot naman ako sa upper body ko. So, hindi masyadong vulgar tingnan.

“So, I wore it and I walked out. Kailangan maging confident ka lang.

“Kung awkward ka, mahahalata iyon, e. Just walk like it’s a normal thing.”

Last time to see a sexy Mikael

Wala pang tiyak na date, pero tuwing pumapasok na ang mga huling buwan ng taon nagaganap ang Cosmopolitan Bachelor Party.

Ang wildly-received event, kung saan nagtitilian ang kababaihan at kalalakihan na rin sa mga nagrarampang mga lalaki, ay inii-sponsor Cosmopolitan Philippines, isang publication ng Summit Media, na siya ring naglalabas ng YES! Magazine. Ang Cosmopolitan Magazine ay edited by Myrza Sison.

Balitang kasama si Mikael sa rarampang 60 Sexy Bachelors.

Ani Mikael, ito na raw siguro ang huling pagkakataon na magpapakita siya ng katawan sa publiko.

“I really worked out for this event. I hit the gym almost every other day. I want to look good for this.

“Since this will be my last time that people will see me half-naked, itodo na natin, di ba?

“I want that night to be memorable para sa mga girls sa audience.”

Andrea to attend

Darating nga raw sa naturang event ang kanyang leading lady sa Sana Ay Ikaw Na Nga na si Andrea Torres.

“She will attend the event to show her support sa akin,” nakangiting sabi ni Mikael.

“First time niya yatang a-attend ng ganung event and she is clueless as to what’s going to happen.

“Sinabi ko naman sa kanya na mag-enjoy lang siya sa mga makikita niya!” natatawang sabi pa ng Kapuso hunk.

Surprise for audience

May naisip na ngang gimik si Mikael na gagawin niya sa stage para hindi siya malimutan ng female audience.

“It will be a surprise!” tawa uli niya.

“Lahat naman ng napiling bachelors, may iniisip na gimik nila, di ba?

“They show this, they hold that, and they throw something to the audience.

“I want to do something different, na alam kong hindi agad malilimutan ng mga tao roon.

“Something that they will talk about for a very long time!” pangako ni Mikael Daez. –PEP.ph
