Self-Hurting Shoe Ads

Jimmy Choo Showcase The Killer High Heels of S/S 09

While their recent Cruise ad campaign took place at the swimming pool, the Spring/Summer 2009 Jimmy Choo ads follow model Angela Lindvall all around.

Terry Richardson returns as the photographer and captures Angela taking a stroll along Fifth Avenue, hanging by the pool, and heading to a night party.

Angela manages to showcase just how sharp these killer Jimmy Choo shoes look by poking herself in the thigh with the heel of the shoe.
