Liam Fahy was born to an Irish Father and an English mother in Zimbabwe in 1984 living on a snake farm surrounded by wildlife. Raised amongst African stone sculptors, musicians, weavers and painters, Liam always enjoyed an eclectic spectrum of ideas and culture.

As a young art student in Africa, Liam chose to further pursue his passion for creativity, by taking a hiatus from modernity deciding to live with the Batonka Tribe located in the remote valleys of the Zambezi river.
A year later Liam returned to pursue his true lifelong passion of design and enrolled to study footwear at the renowned De Montfort University in England.

While at university, Liam was awarded the prestigious Linea-Pelle Footwear Design Award in Italy and the prominent Drapers Footwear Designer of the Year Award in London for his conceptual based designs.
After graduating in 2006, Liam started designing with several multinational brands and even attracted the attention of Adidas and Puma. Disinterested in mass production, imitation and corporations, Liam chose to steer his attention towards the women’s luxury side of the footwear market.
More than likely, it was Liam’s diverse design experience and unusual conceptual signature that led him to win the first ever Fashion Fringe shoe competition whereby some of the judges included Manolo Blahnik, Colin McDowel and British Council designer of the Year, Rupert Sanderson. During this period Liam worked and lived in the Emilio-Romagna region of Italy alongside Rupert Sanderson at his legendary factory learning the secrets of true Italian craftsmanship and design.

In 2010 Liam Fahy produced his first range………
