Well, not entirely, but it is rumoured that he is to receive backing from the luxury conglomerate. Kirkwood recently won BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund, which included £200k cash and mentoring to help build his business (not bad if you can get it!). With an ever growing collection of sculptural heels and a multitude of fans from the likes of Rihanna, Beyonce, and Jennifer Lawrence we have no doubt his brand will continue to win awards, receive backing and go from strength to strength.
