Zaha Hadid Designs Shoes


Architect Zaha Hadid has stretched herself before by designing something other than buildings (like this cutlery set) and she apparently liked the feeling because she's at it again, except now she's designing shoes. Hadid has partnered up with eco-friendly shoe company Melissa to produce this pair of crazy looking shoes in two different colors: red and black. Made primarily of plastic with sweeping lines and loops galore, these shoes are not particularly attractive (they look kinda like shredded up jelly sandals to me) but then lots of cutting edge fashion starts off being under-appreciated. Look for them to debut in September at the Dover Street Market in London for £200.

The Opus, Zaha Hadid's Unique Vision For Dubai

This rather startling building is the Opus development in the Business Bay district in Dubai. The $266.7 million project is being created by real estate developer Omniyat Properties and will appear to hover above the ground. The development is actually three separate towers which appear as one single cube with an asymmetrical hole called "the void" in the center. The outside of the towers will be covered in a glass façade featuring patterns. The Opus will hold retail space and residences and the top floor will include a beach deck, reflective pool, shaded roof terrace and a gym. Construction is due to start later this year and the project should be completed by 2010.
