NICHOLAS KIRKWOOD

Nicholas Kirkwood was born in Germany, studied fine arts at Central Saint Martins and briefly studied at Cordwainers. Working with Philip Treacy helped Kirkwood realise his career aim, to replicate in shoes what Treacy did for hats: make artistically creative statement pieces. Rejecting ornamental decoration in favour of sculptural glamour, Kirkwood has not only triumphed with his own namesake line but has made collaborative collections with the likes of Rodarte, Erdem and Peter Pilotto.
