Phoebe Lark originally graduated with a first in History at Sussex before changing tack and beginning a degree at Cordwainers College, the shoe-design stable of the London College of Fashion. Her degree show was sponsored by Swarovski and featured a marvellous array of beautiful crystal-studded heels that were almost – but not quite – too beautiful to wear. She moved to Italy in 2005 to work and is now designing for one of Italy’s top fashion houses.
