Couture isnt all about the dresses, you know.
Case in point? Zaha Hadids sculptural couture shoe for United Nude, which is refocusing our attention south of the ankle.
Ignoring all the rules was the basic brief to which the world-renowned architect worked, and the resulting creation is as dramatic as youd expect. Dubbed the Nova shoe, its been a long time coming; Hadid and fellow architect and United Nude co-founder Rem D Koolhaas have been talking shoes, were told, for eons.
Says Hadid of the project: United Nudes collections are provocative yet sensual. Rem D Koolhaas unrelenting experimentation at the cutting edge of fashion never fails to capture our imagination.
I have always appreciated those who dare to experiment with materials and proportions. Our collaboration with United Nude reinterprets the classic shoe typology; pushing the boundaries of what is possible without compromising integrity.
But could we run for the bus in them?
