South America has it's own four legged fashionisto and his name is Jimmy Choo. Yes, Jimmy Choo. Mantesso has always been close to man’s best friend, so when he and his wife split, they decided he would get Jimmy Choo. The dog was one good thing to come out of the rough divorce. “He is the best partner ever,” Mantesso said. “He is definitely my best friend and companion.” Mantesso started to shoot photos of Jimmy in his deserted house. “One day I was playing with him in the room and decided to make this picture, holding his hand [while showing the] affection and friendship that existed there,” the artist told TODAY.com. He began posting photos of Jimmy Choo the dog to his Instagram account and it became a hit. Sandra Choi discovered Raphael and his dog soon after and invited to collaborate for Jimmy Choo accessories collection. The collection that will be out on May 15th will include handbags of all sizes, iPhone cases and dog collars.
