Tamara Mellon is the face behind the Jimmy Choo shoe empire. It was Tamara's love for a high heel that inspired her to launch the elegant and pricey line of shoes, worn by legions of loyal celebrity clients.
When Tamara isn't running her multimillion-dollar company, she's spending time with her daughter, Minty. Tamara's already designed the smallest pair of Jimmy Choos for her biggest fan. "Being a mother is the greatest thing in the world," she says.
Tamara says her ex-husband, Matthew Mellon, struggled with drug addiction, and they separated in 2003. He's now sober and a wonderful father to Minty, but Tamara says she grew from the difficult experience. "I have a personal motto that I live by, which is feel the fear and do it anyway," says Tamara.
