Shoe Architecture

Sometimes form and function doesn't always translate to good and tasteful design especially when it comes to shoes.

But after having seen the designs of UNITED NUDE, I have fallen in LOVE.

I've got several on my WISH LIST already. I can't wait to score my first pair and start collecting. They may be at a point pricier than what I will usually spend on shoes but owning a pair will define my shoes collection. (dreaming dreaming dreaming).

SS/11 IRIS VAN HERPEN x UNITED NUDE Black + Chain $995
The Spring Summer 2011 Iris van Herpen x United Nude collection will come in 2 versions of a sculptural high-heeled platform ankle bootie: the first, a complex weave of leather lace detailing; the second, elegantly draped with thin chains. The intricacy and precision of these creations require them to be 100% hand crafted. 

The 100 limited edition pairs will retail at $995 and will be available in Black, Off White and Tan. Like previous Autumn/Winter 2010 collaboration, sold at the worlds greatest retailers such as Browns in London, l’Eclaireur inParis and IT in Hong Kong, these shoes will be available at the world’s most exclusive retailers as well as United Nude’s own flagship storesin New York, Amsterdam, Shanghai and the soon to be opened store in London (also available at: www.unitednude.com).
FIERCE!
