DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT: ANASTASIA RADEVICH DESIGNS FOOTWEAR FOR THE “BIOFUTURE”

Posted on | December 31, 2009 | No Comments

Think sea urchins and natural lifeforms meets footwear. Think it can’t be done? Canadian-born and London-based shoe designer Anastasia Radevich has made it possible.

Sponsored by Foundation de la Mode de Montréal, Anastasia completed a diploma with distinction at London College of Fashion in footwear design- one of the world’s leading colleges for footwear design that has been the ground for learning to such names as Jimmy Choo, Patrick Cox and Georgina Goodman.

Her first hand-finished collection ‘Biofuture’ was exhibited at the LCF gallery on Carnaby street in June, 2009.

Anastasia has been selected by art-s-talker to be featured in the “e-Creative: London 2009” directory for London’s best emerging creative talents that was launched at the London Design Festival in September 2009.

She has extensive experience in footwear and accessories design: she has previously worked at Aldo Group for 2 years in Montreal, designed for Bolongaro Trevor (the founders of All Saints), as well as gained work experience at Alexander McQueen and Nicholas Kirkwood.

Her experience at Alexander McQueen is evident in her FW 2010 collection which will be showcased at retailer Wolf and Badger to be sold at their London location set to launch February 2010.

The sculpted architectural heels are inspired by lattice cut-outs and sea ivory. The color palette comes from “under the sea” where ancient lifeforms and fossils provide nautical references.
