Since 2014, the Cordwainers Footwear Awards have been open to students of the three undergraduate footwear design courses in the UK: at De Montfort University, the University of Northampton and London College of Fashion, University of the Arts, London.
The awards embody the Company’s core purpose, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to supporting both the footwear industry and student footwear designers.
“There has never been a more important time to support new ideas and new talent. The world has changed so dramatically over the past year and it’s crucial to help boost the fortunes of the next generation who will design our future.”
