STUDIO BARBARA PALEKA-LUCAS

With over twenty years of designing footwear and accessories for British, American, and Spanish brands,
I bring a wealth of experience and technical expertise to every project.

​

My journey in footwear began with industrial design, studying last making in the United States twenty-eight years ago. Awarded with a bursary, I studied at at Cordwainers College and the Royal College of Art in London earning Master's degrees in both design and design history. I started my career as an architect's apprentice and archival bookbinder. But my career in fashion began behind the scenes at Preen and Alexander McQueen.

​

Since then, I have worked around the world for a variety of brands, spanning leathergoods, furniture and footwear. Get in touch to discuss a project.
