More quotes by Tamara Mellon
I always said I was determined to own a truly global brand. I didn't buy Jimmy Choo just to have a couple of shoe shops in London, did I?
Tamara Mellon
I actually have more shoes than anyone will ever know.
Tamara Mellon
The customer moved on long before the industry reacted to what she wanted. She doesn't want to buy things four months in advance, she wants to buy something today and wear it tomorrow. She cares less about seasons and collections and really what she's looking for is price, quality, and convenience.
Tamara Mellon
I wear Sweet Revenge, the legging boots, a lot particularly in the winter.
Tamara Mellon
Everything we're doing means there is a much bigger audience that we can reach.

Tamara Mellon
There have been moments in my career when I've had to be tough and I've had to step up to the plate - but usually that's because a man has underestimated me. But other than that, I wouldn't say I'm a tough person.
Tamara Mellon
What I hate is leather leggings and an ankle boot. I hate the line.

Tamara Mellon
The next few years is really going to be focused on shoes.
Tamara Mellon
You never know. Down the road you can do a lot of product categories. But I think you really have to build your core first and for people to know you and respect you for that.
Tamara Mellon
A magazine feature can reach hundreds of thousands of potential customers for a fashion brand. The way to reach a billion? Dress the actresses competing for attention at a highly televised event.
Tamara Mellon
I went back to the factories that I worked with at Jimmy Choo because they don't work for Jimmy Choo exclusively.
Tamara Mellon
It's amazing how much resilience you can have when you're passionate about a project that you're doing.
Tamara Mellon
My daughter is my passion and my life.
Tamara Mellon
If a woman gets tough in negotiations, she's difficult, whereas a man would be considered a brilliant businessman.
Tamara Mellon
I think it takes 30 years to build a luxury brand.
Tamara Mellon
The truth is that we all have lives that are complicated. We all get hurt by people we love sometimes. It's laughable to believe that anyone is immune. The important thing is how you behave.
Tamara Mellon
I'm always impressed by confidence, kindness and a sense of humour.
