BA (Hons) Fashion: Design Technology (Footwear Design)
Tosin Mogaji is a young footwear designer and recent graduate of BA (Hons) Cordwainers Footwear Design at London College of Fashion. Having previously studied Art & Design in college, Tosin naturally found herself drawn to the creative and functional aspect of creating footwear products. With her final year collection, emphasis was placed on designing and making shoes that are minimal in style, with a focus on strong, clean design lines suitable for a contemporary woman. As a creative thinker pioneering in trends in fashion design, she thoroughly enjoys the research and design process leading to the creation of products that will communicate her desired aesthetic. This being a reflection of her own take on modern style, identity and culture. With this Autumn/Winter 2013/2014 collection, inspiration was found in layering constructions and an exploration into subtle colour contrasts. The concept involved including shoes within the range that take on a more androgynous style approach, aiming to reflect a shift in modern and future trends she finds inspirational. Whilst studying Cordwainers Footwear Design, she has gained experience developing new ideas to be translated into footwear prototypes, for self-directed projects and commercial work for various companies. tosin_m@hotmail.co.uk Photographer: Alejandro Cavallo
