Choo said he was proud that Michelle Obama wore a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes to the inaugural ball earlier this month, but admitted, "Katie and Tom are my favourite customers as they will take the trouble to drop me a thank you note after visiting me to order a pair of shoes."

"I really appreciate that as they are so rich and famous, but yet remain humble and friendly," he said, reports telegraph.co.uk.

Choo is now planning to open a network of shoe academies worldwide, with the first to open in Malaysia, his home country.

"It has to be well-planned and reputable. Once it is established, the academy can be licensed all over the world on the Jimmy Choo label," Choo said during a visit to Malaysia.
