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.
