The British fashion brand Jimmy Choo, from designer Prof. Jimmy Choo, announced a collaboration with Chinese manufacturer IM Motors to create a special edition of the IM L6 model, an electric sedan with 850 kilometers of range. This partnership marks Jimmy Choo's entry into the automotive sector, representing a significant expansion of the luxury fashion brand beyond its traditional footwear and accessories business.

IM Motors is a Chinese brand belonging to the SAIC group, one of the largest car manufacturers in China. The company presented the new generation of the IM L6 taking the opportunity to launch this special edition in collaboration with Jimmy Choo, in a strategy that aims to differentiate the model in an increasingly competitive electric vehicle market.

The goal of this collaboration is to position the IM L6 as something more than just a high-performance electric sedan. The partnership combines automotive technology with characteristic high fashion and fashion design elements, creating a product that appeals to both electric car enthusiasts and consumers in the luxury and fashion sector.

Work but Receive Little? You May Be Entitled to Social Security Support Even with a Salary

Having a job and receiving a salary does not automatically exclude access to the Social Integration Income (RSI), as long as the household income remains below the legal limits. Social Security considers only 80% of dependent work income when calculating the benefit, which may be only 50% during the first 12 months of a new professional activity. The RSI reference value was updated to 247.56 euros in 2026, with maximum amounts varying according to family composition. In addition to income, there are also limits on financial assets (maximum of 60 times the IAS, or 32,227.80 euros in 2026). The application can be made online or in person. From 31 December 2026, the RSI will be replaced by the Single Social Payment (PSU), which will include a gradual reduction mechanism for support as professional income increases.
