W HEN your signature style features four-inch stiletto heels, zigzag cut-outs and platforms the shape of sickles, it's clear that you aren't designing for the fashionably bashful. A decade since Nicholas Kirkwood started making his own footwear - raising funds for his own collection by creating the catwalk shoes for Ghost and John Rocha - the 35-year-old shoe maestro remains fixated on the bolder side of fashion.
"Bo-oring," laments the British designer, when asked about the safer, more muted styles on the runway in recent seasons.
"Fashion goes round in circles and you see a lot of sameness, but then you also see a lot of people making an effort to do something interesting. I want to think that there are still people who want to make something of a statement."
