 Is it just us or are architects designing a lot more than buildings these days? Starchitect Zaha Hadid has made headlines with her collaboration with Chanel, where she designed a futuristic mobile art container - which has just landed in Central Park NYC - and her work with Brazilian shoe brand Melissa. But Hadid isn't the first architect to venture into fashion. In 2003 Galahad Clark, of the Clark family global shoe empire, started the shoe brand United Nude with architect Rem D Koolhaas. Their objective was to create a shoe collection which expressed the intersection of design and fashion; to create footwear that explored both aesthetics and innovation. Mission accomplished. - Laura Demasi  |
