New Look are teaming up with world-class institution London College of Fashion on an exciting footwear project which will see student-designed shoes available in our stores. We’re already big fans of this year’s BA fashion graduates, but this time round it’s all about the shoes.
A select panel of judges made up of fashion industry names including Giles Deacon, New Look Design Director Barbara Horspool, and footwear designer Jonathan Kelsey looked through the students’ designs. They picked finalists from the MA degree course, and the winning designs will be put into production next Spring. We can’t wait to get our greedy mitts on them!
LCF graduates include Jimmy Choo and LK Bennett so we’re really quite excited to see what this year’s students produce, below are some of the finalists’ designs to give you a flavour of what to expect, stay tuned to see who makes the final cut.

We were recently treated to a cracking show by LCF graduates, BA students their collection marks just the beginning of a long journey into fashion. We love Steph Goynes’ canny use of colour and bold prints with ethnic knits. Wei Ting Hu’s bright collection featured perspex jewellery and cutout shapes giving a really sculptural feel to the work. Another fave was Jennifer Ruth Low’s belted and bound pieces with all manner of catches and fastenings. A haberdasher’s dream!
We also spied that all their shoes were New Look, Steph Goynes left hers au naturel while Wei Ting Hu opted for customisation with straps and paint to match her sunny collection. Jennifer Ruth Low also got creative and covered hers in furry flocking, mm strokable!
