About
Tracey Neuls
Tracey Neuls has, over the last 9 years, established
herself as a vital force in contemporary design. Since graduating
from Cordwainers, she has built a reputation for innovative
yet idiosyncratic shoe making. With a string of awards under
her belt (including New Generation, Design Week Benchmark, and
Royal Society of Arts), she continues season upon season to present
mould-breaking collections - unique
yet always distinctively Tracey Neuls.
Tracey is the author of TN_29, signature Tracey
Neuls, and now
Homage collections. Like Eileen Gray last century (to whom she
has been compared), her work shuns mainstream fads, opting for
a more timeless approach. Each shoe bears the mark of a questioning
mind and instinctive feel for form and material. She describes
herself as sponge-like - attracted to the small things in life.
Fugitive moments that have inspired, forms and textures she has
moulded or admired, re-surface in her collections. If you like
playing detective, the details worked into her designs - maps imprinted
into the sole, the upper pulled down over a heel, a fastening that
mimics a stationery clasp - are clues to be discovered.
