on its new mega denim studio, which features over

11,000 pairs of jeans

and denim-wear clothing and accessories:

re-created signature pieces

by noted and emerging fashion designers.

…

Inspired by the eclectic energy of the 1980s

Ms. Webster stiletto heel shoe with T-strap,  texture,

colour, print and polka dots –

is an integral piece in the denim studio project.

She explains her technique and offers a brief narrative behind her design:

“I often use a lot of playful polka dots and stripes but this time

I decided to screen print fluoro versions of these onto blue denim …

I really wanted that shade of denim you can only get from jeans

that have faded with wear and time.

Those jeans would have told a story and the shoes just carry it on.”

…

(Ms. Webster was quoted in the

Stylist, Issue 179, 26 June 2013)

 

 

…

Shoes designed by NEWGEN recipient Sophia Webster

created exclusively for Selfridges, London

…

 

From the 11,ooo options from which to choose at the denim studio,

a pair of skinny or boyfriend  jeans may well best compliment the look of

Ms. Websters whimsical design.

What’s next for Ms. Webster?

Her s/s 2014 collection is eagerly anticipated-

all will be revealed in September 2013.
