Liam Fahy


Zimbabwe born Liam Fahy made it a priority to work with unconventional materials whilst studying footwear design at de Monfort. Discovering the ability to make shoes out of many unconventional materials coupled with the inspiring vistas of Zimbabwe led Liam to find his direction.



To date Liam has created shoes for Merrill, CAT,Clarks, Pategonia and Heny Lloyd. Setting up his own design company has allowed him to expand into furniture, accessories and packaging. Recently winning Fashion Fringe Shoes the latest contest addition to expose emerging designers, Liam is slated for much greater success.






Collaborations I would like to see: Courreges, Chanel or Hermes.



Daniel Love

Daniel Love's inspiration for turning ordinary objects such as this humidifier comes from stepping outside and viewing the world he lives in. Located in Lion City Singapore tropical inspirations seems to play a large part in his direction.





For example this fish tank could have been inspired from the beach pebbles one might see in Kuala Lumpar. Smooth and streamlined something so ordinary has now taken on a sensual esthetic.









Collaborations I would like to see: Target, Philippe Starck,Cartier

Sandra Backlund's mysterious knitting technique has garnered her a lot of attention since she started her career. A virtual unknown based in Stockholm Sweden came from the underground design world. Her work caught the eye of Marc Jacobs and was asked to contribute to Louis Vuitton's AW/07 collection.
