Camilla Elphick has an impressive pedigree; Nicholas Kirkwood and Charlotte Olympia both nestle on her CV, and she's studied at both Parsons and London's Cordwainers. Her tenures at the aforementioned brands are evident in the sense of fun that permeates through her designs, from Pez dispenser heels to sparkly 'Disco' flats, Elphick cleverly zips from comic to classic with supreme ease. Her debut collection, titled 'You got the luck', is all about the things that bring us good fortune - from elegant courts adorned with four-leaf clovers or black cats, to heels that carry a Royal Flush. But as well as shoes that shout fun Elphick's also got simple and sophisticated covered; her daintly 'Gold Dust' peep-toes with a delicate strap are fast becoming a fashion pack favourite. All shoes are handmade in Italy and feature Elphick's signature, super-flattering curve detailing just below the ankle. Prices start at £340. |

| BeyoncĂ©, Cara Delevingne and Anna Dello Russo have all worn Aussie Lucy Folk's food-inspired trinkets. Why food? Well, Folk grew up in her Dad's Melbourne cafe so it only seemed natural that she draw inspiration from her surroundings. Gilded watermelon pips and peppercorns adorn dainty rings, while silver parsley leaves form earrings. There's also colourful woven freindship bracelets (of course inspired by food - lollipop, ice cream, taco...), boxy beaded clutches and sunglasses too, all with just the right amount of Folk charm. Prices from £55. |

| The brainchild of Cordwainers-trained creative director Mary Alice Malone, Malone Souliers was founded in 2013 and is based in London. "The high heel is a magician. A beautiful heel will sculpt the foot and create a transformative reaction through the entire body," says Malone, who runs the company alongside managing director Roy Luwolt. "They will affect posture and the way you walk - but also the way you talk, the way you carry your head, your entire bearing." Lace-up styles Montana, Haji and Savannah have seen particular popularity thanks to the current trend of all things laced, but you'll also find beautoful court shoes, T-bars and mules, which feature a 'spring-o-later' in the sole to remove the slapping sound that often afflicts the style, proof further that every tiny detail is covered to create perfection. Prices start at £399. |

| Not strictly a fledgling, Senso was actually founded in 1980 by husband and wife duo Scarlett and Kim Meller. It quickly became, and remains to this day, one of Australia's most-loved contemporary footwear brands. In 2012, the couple's three daughters, Alicia, Imogen and Skye, came on board and brought the brand to a whole new audience, creating a fashion following that's seen them dominate blogs and Instagram over the last 12 months. Their USP? On-trend, high-quality shoes that don't come with an eye-watering price tag to match; £115 to £239. |

Originally a men's-only brand, the epically-named WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie took the plunge into women's accessories following a sell-out collaboration with J.Crew last year. It has made its name witth perfectly crafted travel essentials that aim to make your journey stylish - from sleek weekend bags to carry-all totes and clean iPad cases that, all of which are totally timeless in design yet perfectly functional. Currently only available at Barneys New York, we're hoping it will get a UK-based stockist soon, though the equally as desirable men's collection can be found on MrPorter.com. |
