Issue 41 / 2012 DESIGNER OF T TIPSYFEET Girls, The Guestlist Network have found an amazing concept for you!
Feeling some foot pain after a night partying or after a long day wearing high heels? Tipsyfeet had a great idea! They invented a pair of foldable shoes with a matching purse that you can put into your handbag or keep in the glove box of your car. This little purse carries your foldable pumps when you do not use them and then it folds out to become a useful shoulder bag, just what's needed for carrying your fabulous high heels shoes. They have become very popular over the years since their featuring on the BBC's Dragons Den back in 2007. You can order a pair via the Tipsyfeet.co.uk website with UK delivery guar- anteed within 48h if you order them before 2pm.

Showing that anything has the potential to be transformed into something beautiful and daring.
Your work looks very intricate and difficult to create! What's your pro- cess when designing and producing your pieces?
What sets Dumpster Couture apart from the rest is that the whole design process is flipped in reverse. Rather than starting with a drawn design and then creating it, I start by building on the mannequin. Working with the ma- terial, experimenting, seeing what fits and looks good. Every material is so different and you never know how it will respond to anything you try. The design then starts to create itself, al- ways changing in structure and style as the building process continues. All working on the mannequin, never
