# Project Description In My Soles Fallon Lindsay-Stephenson Summary Final work FALLON FALCO is a contemporary London based brand specialising in women's footwear. It is my goal to provide women with shoes that enhance their true inner confidence through eccentric bold designs which elevate one's personal style. Women of all sizes, age and lifestyle deserve to feel sexy and powerful without the expense of comfort. I focus on creating unique designs which allow women to step into their higher selves, designing footwear you can wear day and night as well as bridging the gap between design and the lack of size inclusivity in the footwear industry. The name Fallon is Irish meaning “leader” or "descendant of a ruler”. Falco is the Latin translation for “falcon”. The falcon bird is a symbolism of nobility and power which is what I intend for the customer to embody when wearing my designs.

College London College of Fashion Course BA (Hons) Cordwainers Footwear Graduation year 2025 In My Soles is a footwear collection that explores childhood nostalgia through a Black British lens. Rooted in my own experience growing up as a British Caribbean girl in South London, the work reflects a deep connection to place, memory and identity. In a world where adulthood can often feel dull repetitive and uninspired, this collection looks back to a time when life felt brighter, where the smallest moments carried joy, and the streets I played on held stories in every crack. I believe that in order to truly survive adulthood we must honour our younger selves, remembering who we were, how we felt and what made us come alive. Through bold silhouettes, playful textures, and culturally specific references, In My Soles celebrates the richness of Black British girlhood - its vibrancy, resiliance and undeniable style. Final work FIFI Boot This boot is made from a beautiful buttery yellow leather lambskin. In order to acheive the texure of the shaft, a cotton string vest was fused into the leather for a subtle yet impactful reference to my Jamaican heritage. The zipper is embellished with chunky keychains for a playful look, with the Jamaican Union Jack painted on the boxing glove. The heel was hand crafted and covered with goatskin leather. FALCON Mule The mule upper is made from cotton string which was hand woven directly onto the last and embellished with silver rings which are used for decorating braids, a homage to black girlhood. The wedge is made from wood and cork with a hand-carved face inspired by the African masks and sculptures my Nan has collected over decades.
