Rory Nichols





Rory recently finished his specialist footwear design course at the London College of Fashion and is looking for an opportunity to start a career in footwear design and development.

At university Rory engaged himself in footwear design and development, business within a fashion brand and also learned the skills necessary to make fully functional/wearable footwear i.e pattern cutting techniques, leather enhancement, shoe lasting plus much more.

Rory's design style uses very clean, often angular lines making his work extremely bold and eye catching; this is often enhanced by his use of colour which is frequently daring and unusual. Rory comes from a working class background; his father is a highly skilled carpenter and joiner so from a young age Rory learned a wide variety of skills such as wood turning, joining techniques and also how to operate machinery. This had a definite effect on how Rory works as he has a very hands on approach to all his work and always endeavored to produce his own pieces whilst studying at university.

Rory is currently seeking employment within the fashion footwear market but would also love to diversify into any of the fashion markets as he has a strong interest in fashion clothing and accessories as a whole.
