Zhou Yangjie'S Growth History

As a famous shoemaking master in Hollywood, celebrities and celebrities in Europe and America, Jimmy Choo Zhou Yangjie's career can not be unsuccessful.

But the Malaysia Chinese, who was originally named Zhou Yangjie, did not have a smooth start.

Now let's take a look at the history of Zhou Yangjie's growth.

Son, father, 11 years old, design the first pair of shoes.

Before going to England,

Always living in the birthplace of Penang, Malaysia.

Father is also a shoemaker. He can make all kinds of leather shoes, and his handwork is good.

But in those days, shoes were of no value in fashion and sold very cheap.

Zhou Yangjie was already familiar with the steps of shoes making when he was seven or eight years old. When he was 11 years old, he could make a pair of slippers for himself. Although he was hand-made, it was the first time that the shoemaker had made a pair of slippers.

Later, because of the family relationship, Zhou Yangjie was forced to drop out of school and formally followed his father's shoes to earn money.

However, at that time in Penang, shoemaker was very despised work, there is no life guarantee and no technical content. Zhou Yangjie once said that if a local girl marries a shoemaker, she will be strongly opposed by her family to prove that the shoemaker's status is low.

Britain begins to understand the true meaning of design.

Zhou Yangjie, who did not want to go on like this, decided to go to the outside world and finally chose the University of University of the Arts in London.

According to his recollection, the reason for choosing Britain is that Malaysia was once a British colony, and English was relatively acceptable. Moreover, London was still an important fashion capital in the 80s of last century. As for the teachers who teach shoes in Kantian college, they are all world-famous people, and it is appropriate to go there to learn shoemaking.

At that time, he successfully passed the interview with his own design work, and began to study abroad in England with the assistance of his father and friends.

When Zhou Yangjie, an overseas student, has to study hard, the tuition fee of 300 pounds a year will also make him very big. After all, this is a huge burden for a poor student from Malaysia.

So from the second academic year, he began work life.

Once I went back to a restaurant in Hongkong where I washed dishes and did odd jobs, though Hakka people, but because of being born in Malaysia, Zhou Yangjie's Cantonese accent was very different from that of Hongkong people. Communication became very difficult. The boss always used a series of dirty words to curse people, but in order to live, he still put up with it.

However, the work did not affect Zhou Yangjie's studies. Instead, he graduated well as an excellent student and entered a shoe factory to begin his formal work.

Zhou Yangjie recalled that he was designing at that time.

There were 7 years, because there were not many orders, and life was very hard.

Later, he once participated in the shoe design competition, and his shoes design attracted the late Princess Diana. He took the initiative to go to Zhou Yangjie's shop and asked Zhou Yangjie to design shoes for her.

Since then, Zhou Yangjie has become Princess Diana's special shoe designer.

Princess Diana, a pioneer of the international fashion trend, traveled around the world in Zhou Yangjie's shoes and made Zhou Yangjie's English name Jimmy Choo a famous shoe brand.

When he became famous, he began to talk about this study experience. Zhou Yangjie felt very deeply that it was the experience that made him turn from a craftsman who only knew how to make shoes into a designer who really knew how to design.

In 1996, Zhou Yangjie opened the first Jimmy Choo Ltd shoe store in London, and recognized the taste of Princess Dai's taste.

It becomes a symbol of taste.
