UNBOUND A conceptual luxury footwear collection developed at London College of Fashion exploring the tension between beauty and strangeness through a dark romantic lens. Inspired by Victorian ornamentation, Romanticism, literary heroines, and collected curiosities, the collection reinterprets historical references through sculptural silhouettes, engineered uppers, and decorative hardware details. The project focused on translating narrative inspiration into wearable luxury footwear while exploring construction, proportion, and prototype development through physical making.
