Footwear students competing to design shoes for the Duchess of Cambridge

Six students at De Montfort University are competing to design a pair of shoes for the Duchess of Cambridge to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

 A group of fashion students are putting their best foot forward as they aim to design a pair of dream shoes for the Duchess of Cambridge.
The six excited students on the Footwear Design degree at De Montfort University (DMU) will meet Kate next week when she visits the campus with the Queen to mark the beginning of the Diamond Jubilee Tour of the UK.

Kate will view designs by Sam Sawkill, Summer Spencer, Kay Yeng Cheng, Tabitha Duffield, Becka Hunt and Mei Chun Lai and decide which she likes best.
The lucky winner will then make up a pair of the shoes for the Duchess, and see the shoes they have designed and created worn by the future Queen.
The winning design will afford the successful student, who was shortlisted by lecturers at DMU from more than 100 applicants, a "magnificent opportunity", Professor Dominic Shellard, vice-chancellor of De Montfort University, said.
