An alumnus of prestigious design schools, Central St. Martins and Cordwainers College, the now 33-year-old British Designer Nicholas Kirkwood launched his eponymous collection in Spring 2005 at the age of 24 to challenge the conventions of woman’s luxury footwear.
The collection of architecturally inspired pieces with a blend of genres subverting the relationship between tradition and modernity instantly won the attention of Grace Jones, Daphne Guinness and the late Isabella Blow as well as rave reviews from industry insiders.
Over the 8 years since he launched his collection, Kirkwood has won much critical acclaim for his work and perspective.
