British high fashion house Jimmy Choo has brought style influencers from around the world to the Maldives as part of its #Chootravels project.

Every year, Jimmy Choo brings along style influencers for #Chootravels, a project that gives life to the mood and sentiment of each season’s collection.

For 2017, Jimmy Choo made a head-start by inviting some of the world’s most stylish influencers to the Maldives to take part in an editorial shoot for the summer-ready pre-fall 2017 collection. The blue ocean at the Constance Halaveli Maldives resort provided the perfect backdrop for the collection.
