| If you do not know anything about United Nude shoes believe me that it is a huge example of ignorance. United Nude is a fashion brand that is in the wardrobe of every fashion connoisseur starting from Madonna to fashion aware women all over the world. |
 |
| The brand was started in 2003 when Rem D Koolhaas, a Dutch architect, and Galahad Clark, a seventh generation shoemaker, joined their efforts and started to make fashion items. Every shoe they create is unique, futuristic, elegant and eye catching. |
 |
| The first and the most famous product of the brand is doubtlessly Möbius footwear, entitled so in honor of Möbius strip, a surface with only one side and only one boundary component. The Möbius is a combination of leather upper and a sole that is made as a one boundary detail wrapped in an infinite hoop. |
 |
| The next novelty invented by co-founders of United Nude is an unusual blend of a classic elegant pump of 1950s and a heel that looks like a chair foot. The shoe was named Eams in honor of Charles and Rey Eam, authors of chairs featuring such a foot. Later on, the upper was modified, and now not only pumps but also Eams boots and ankle boots are available. |
 |
| Talking about my personal preferences I fell in love with Fold footwear from United Nude. This shoe is based on the concept of a single band that wraps along the foot as a scarf. That adds to the shoe maximum comfort and steadiness. But not only design attracts me to these fabulous shoes, I adore a wide array of colors and magnificent combinations of hues. |
 |
| I am sure that United Nude is a brand every fashion conscious woman must know as it is a gulp of fresh concepts, innovations and interesting ideas. |

| Everybody who watched American reality show Project Runway perfectly know the name of a young and talented fashion designer Christian Siriano. Cristiano was the winner of the fourth season and is the show’s youngest winner. |
 |
| But in spite of his youth, Cristiano’s works are eye catching and intriguing. Now I will show you a vivid example of this genius. Recently the designer presented a new collection for Fall – Winter 2010/11. |
 |
| The collection intitled Payless was presented at the runway. Celebs sitting front row included Amber Rose wearing his Spring 2010 collection and Mena Suvari.By the way, you can see both Amber Rose and Cristian Siriano in the picture above. |
 |
| Known for his unique and edgy designs, Christian Siriano’s Fall 2010 collection for Payless confirmed that the designer has a right to be shown at runway shows and be included in the list of the most popular young designers. His modernized take on 1960s European women – Parisian in particular, and 18th and 19th century antique furniture, is sure to make heads turn. |
 |
| The shoes in the collection are designed to complement his ready to wear style and overall the collection is inspired by 1960s Parisian women and their daily practice of getting dressed. His shoes pull strong inspirations from antique furniture from the 18th and 19th century with its filigree and clawfoot detailing. |
 |
| The collection includes pumps, platforms, sandals, ankle boots, boots and many other interesting shoes. The designer made an emphasis on heels that have intriguing décor and architectural shapes. The majority of shoes are made from snakeskin leather with zipper detailing or exquisite satin strips. |
 |
| A focal design from the runway collection is the Rocaille style — a platform pump featuring a signature artisan heel reminiscent of a clawfoot. The collection is expected in Payless stores in September 2010. I like the way every shoe looks! |

| Raphael Young is the Paris-based shoe designer who loves contradictions and antagonisms. Young has a liking for sketching and building a shoe only to take it apart again, a stop-and-start-again process he calls deconstruction. |
 |
| Despite a mentioned deviation from the streamlined norm, “quirky” would not be the first word that comes up to my mind when describing footwear created by Raphael Young. The plexiglass and carbon heels, mirrored bottoms and sensuous curves suggest a sort of futuristic femininity. |
 |
| Here I would like to present you a new shoe collection from the designer created for Fall – Winter 2010/11. If you have not seen creations by the designer be ready that they will change your view of fashion and approach to footwear significantly. And even if you do not set your heart on futuristic shapes and structural heels, you will doubtlessly fell in love with the shoes presented by Raphael Young. Here they are. |
 |
| Young’s designs are, no doubt, functional art. I love his attention to details. Faceted and structural heels look fantastic! And the materials the footwear comes in are pretty! |
 |
| Making every shoe himself from stitch to finish, the designer drew his influences for his Fall – Winter 2010/11 collection from heliocentric theory, which results in heels and boots that look like a whole army of Stormtroopers and Darth Vader doppelgangers perched atop sculptural heels that could have been plucked right off the surface of a planet far, far away. |
 |
| The shoes come in black and white colors, while there are some hues of blue and wine red. I love that the collection is versatile – it includes all types of footwear from thigh-high boots to open toe pumps. Metallic inserts, classic buckles, zippers, lacing and fur add a zest to every shoe in the line. The result is akin to couture. |
