It's hard to think of anything more iconically seventies than Terry de Havilland's platform shoes. Making and designing footwear for over 50 years, de Havilland is a London legend. From his early years working with his father in the blitz-devastated east end to his '70s Kings Road shop and hangout, Cobblers of the World, de Havilland's passion for creating beautiful footwear has made him as much of an icon as his shoes. Still producing designs for his label, his vividly coloured metallic platforms are a favourite of celebrities and stylists.

Fashion historian Laura McLaws Helms headed over to his Dalston showroom and studio - a veritable dream world of sparkling wedges, spangled snakeskins and piles of prototypes  - to chat with Terry about his designs, the ups and downs of the business, and what to expect from him in his seventh decade.

For AW12 the pair looked at anatomy to produce among others, a blood red maxi dress, a finely printed rib cage and spine dress and another featuring ghost like green branches creeping up from the hem.

After exhibiting during London Fashion Week, we headed to the designers studio under the rafters of an old industrial space to find out more.
