We’re thrilled to announce that vegan brand Koi Footwear were so impressed with the quality of work that they’ve chosen not one but TWO winners from over 100 entries into the Koi X Graduate Fashion Foundation competition.
Open to all final year students, Rosie Coggin-Levy and Emily Noel-D'Avila won over the Koi Footwear team with their designs and mood boards, inspired by culture, music or a movement. Their winning designs will be retailed on the Koi Footwear website and the prize winner will receive 20% of the RRP for each unit sold.

“I am completely made up to be offered the opportunity to work alongside Koi Footwear as it’s an exciting, future driven brand that offers a fresh look to footwear that I absolutely love,” says Rosie upon hearing the news that she was one of the competition winners. “I am eager to get a glimpse into the manufacture process of the company and to see my design fully realised at the end is just a cherry on top. This competition has inspired me to be able to work outside of solely apparel and I look forward to what will come in the future.”
