Tamara Mellon leaves Jimmy Choo wtih Labelux' acquisition of the brand

Tamara Mellon, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Jimmy Choo, has been seen as the face of the brand, and the genius behind it. But they just announced that she, together with Joshua Schulman, the CEO, will leave Jimmy Choo. Tamara Mellon will leave at the end of this month, and Joshua Schulman until the New Year.

The departures follow the successful transition of Jimmy Choo to Labelux ownership and management control.

Tamara Mellon is glamorous, loved by fashion editors, is synonymous with the brand, and even had a Jimmy Choo perfume ad that is fronted by her (now, now... which other founder can boast of this?)

How will this affect the brand and where will Tamara Mellon transit to after this? Tamara Mellon has been very quiet about it, but it's definitely something fashionistas are super curious about.
