Perfectly aligned with Pride Month, actor, activist and fashion figure, Billy Porter, has launched an exclusive capsule collection of gender-neutral shoes in partnership with Jimmy Choo.
Maintaining many of the brand’s signature silhouettes and styles, Porter puts a fierce spin on the classics by introducing animal prints and luxurious tones. Oh, and by the way—the shoes are all inclusively available in extended sizing for all consumers. Yes please!

On CHOO’S site, Porter dedicates THE COLLECTION to his mother, whose “biggest dream” was to be able to walk in heels but was unable to as a disabled woman.
To celebrate the capsule launch, Jimmy Choo is donating $100,000 in support of The Trevor Project—an organization dedicated to ending LGBTQ youth suicide. This mission statement is one that Porter says on Instagram, is “very close” to his own heart.
