SOPHIA WEBSTER. I’M A RAINBOW TOO

The rising star of British shoe design, Sophia Webster boasts a résumé that is no less than impressive: after having studied at the Royal College of Art and completed a degree at the famous Cordwainers College, she landed a job as Nicholas Kirkwood’s design assistant and launched her first spring/summer 2013 shoe collection. Her footwear label has gained widespread popularity for being very feminine, elegant and modern as well as commercially successful and creative. She was awarded the Condé Nast Footwear News Emerging Designer of the Year award in 2012 and the New Gen Award by the British Fashion Council (for the second season in a row) for her new fall/winter 2013 collection. She has been named by The Times as one of the top 100 people to watch out for in 2013 and her creations are now sold by fashion’s key retailers all over the world.
