    Graduated from 'RCA', The Royal College of Art and Cordwainers Technical College (now the London College of Fashion) in 2010, and named Emerging Footwear Designer of the Year by Conde Nast Footwear NewsSophia Webster is one of the new British faces in fashion more well-known for her colorful and funny shoes. Insects as ladybugs, butterflies and its environment, with myriad of flowers, are the subject of inspiration for their Spring-Summer 2014 collection, with funny and funky designs that talk through textures, colors, shapes and words.

    In a short time on market, Webster, with their collections of pajamas, handbags and shoes, gets groovy becoming the funniest designer nowadays.


    • Of the "Ladybug", comes the inspiration to use polka-dots used by Sophia Webster.



    • At the show, models seem like beautiful bugs slumbered in a garden enchanted.



    • To underline the subject, models were wearing the antenna bugs hairstyle and as in a garden  flowers and butterflies were everywhere, printed on fabrics, die cutting punches on handbags and shoes.



    • Polka dots are in almost all Webster's collections making of them a 'signature'.




    • Speech balloons, used in comic books comic strips and cartoons to allow words to be understood as representing the speech or thoughts of a given character in the comic, are the inspiration to define the handbags silhouettes.




    • "BITE ME", "BEE QUEEN", "I look like YES" or "TALK OF THE TOWN", are some words or expressions used by pajamas, handbags and shoes, to talk as in a comic cartoon.




    • The color palette comes directly from nature. Striking and vibrant tones contrasting with neutrals black and white.





    • Graphics, shapes and postures adopted by Butterflies are used in an abstract form in shoes, and handbags.



    • You can fly with this, original, ankle-strap stiletto and butterfly heel.


    • Butterflies in myriad of ways from a chic minimal, as in those silver stilettos, to an avant-garde saturated, as in the sandals boots style below, are present in this collection.



    • The laser-cut technique is used to make this, butterfly inspired, high sandal boot style.



    • Spring is here, so you should be ready to spread your wings and be prepared to fly for because, with this shoes, you may become a butterfly.
