SASK Shoe Design. Subscribe now!

Unique part-time Shoe Design program in Belgium.

The four year SASK Shoe Design program focuses on the dynamics between the artistic and craft aspects. Students are trained to analyse these different angles of approach and stimulated to push their boundaries. Head teachers are Anne Poesen and Hans De Clercq.

The program is set up to train shoe designers who are capable of using their creativity to design shoes and create prototypes.

Our Shoe Design department, founded in 2005, is very ambitious. By establishing contacts with other institutions, foreign schools, studios, workshops and the industry specialized in shoes, we create an environment where the students can fully develop themselves.

The apotheosis of every academic year is a catwalk show in collaboration with the Fashion Design department, where the creations of the students are shown to a mixed public consisting of professionals and fashion lovers. Yearly you have a chance to exhibit in the ‘Shoes Or No Shoes’ museum in Kruishoutem, belgium and participate in various national and international exhibitions and competitions.
