The shoes are designed by Camilla Skovgaard. Born in Denmark, Camilla Skovgaard is a BA (hons) and MA graduate in footwear design and product development from Cordwainers Shoe College (2003) and the Royal College of Art (2006) in London. Her eponymous shoe line took shape when she met Italian contacts in high-end shoe manufacturing during her MA; Saks Fifth Avenue in the US bought her first collection while still a student.
Camilla was awarded Queen Elizabeth Scholar Award for Excellence in British Craftsmanship, London 2007, Award for Excellence in Footwear, LCF London 2003 and voted Shoe Designer of the Year 2008 by public vote on Australia shoe blog Imelda.
In addition to own line, Camilla collaborated with British fashion house Matthew Williamson, for whom she was appointed shoe designer in 2005, for the past 7 seasons showing at New York Fashion Week, and continues to collaborate with some of fashion’s most directional and talked about designers for SS10.
Camilla Skovgaard shoes are gaining recognition for their aesthetic fluid-edged style combined with high quality shoemaking. Her emphasis is on form, materials, composition and style rather than decoration. The combination of contrasting elements such as fluidity and severity, restraint and sophistication play an integral part in the character of her design.
