Timmer Beauts
The traditional Northern English clog forms the underpinnings of this group project, hence ‘Timmer Beauts’ (or timber beauties), the endearing Cumbrian term for clogs.
Research was conducted into the history of footwear and notions around desire, addiction and pleasure. This resulted into designing a bio-degradable and modular shoe (no glue or nails) that demands the care and interaction of the owner, during and after the shoe’s lifetime.
Decisions on materials and construction were based on sustainability criteria, desirability and user interaction.
The journey never followed a straight, smooth road but resembled a bumpy, windy road, on which we would sometimes lose our way; however ultimately a rewarding experience and resulting in a pair of 21st century Timmer Beauts.

MA exhibitions at RCA, LCF and CSM
While we MA Fashion and Environment students have another year to go (well, 10 months, yikes!); it was great to see the Royal College of Art and Central St. Martin's work in progress exhibitions, as well as our own London College of Fashion's final MA exhibit. Very inspiring; and I am trying to imagine how it will feel being in their shoes not toooo long from now. Hence, first dose: LCF.
Location: Victoria House on Southampton Row; perfect space & size for the exhibit.

Am a bit obsessed with footwear at the mo as we're doing an exciting sustainable shoe project...

Loving the tesselation detail. Something I did for my last term's project.

Love the shape; could almost imagine Bjork wearing the ones on the left (maybe in a different colour though).

Chatted with Ross a bit, really nice guy! Orginial concept of evolving shoes, made in large part with the 3D printer.

Orginal construction with just 2 screws holding the shoe in place.
