Fashion icon Professor Jimmy Choo OBE enjoyed his first visit to Perth last year so much he is planning an extended stay when he returns next month.

Professor Choo took Perth by storm last year on his first-ever trip Down Under when he was brought to Australia by The West Australian's Fashion Agenda for The Business Behind the Glamour lunch.

While it was a whirlwind trip for the world-renowned shoemaker, next month he will stay in WA for 10 days.

During his visit, he will hold a masterclass at Curtin University and be a special guest at a lunch and dinner at Nobu at Crown Perth.

Last year, Professor Choo met a select group of final-year fashion students at Curtin University and was so impressed with their designs, he invited them to Malaysia for a once-in-a-lifetime work-experience opportunity.
