INTRODUCING UNITED NUDE

Creativity at an ultimate Level I Kreativität auf einem ultimativem Level

Looking through some of my designs of my room (I redesign it a lot on paper), there has been an element that dates back to 2006 and has been in each design. The illuminated shoe case. It's an simple ikea bookcase with lights in each department. Now I'm not a light architect, but I figured I could put a little lamp at the top of each department hence the name illuminated shoe case.

Now take this idea and multiply it across an entire wall, turn of the main lights, put that of the shoe case on : Welcome to the United Nude Store.

This is what I mean with taken creativity to another level.

Going to an United Nude store must feel like going to an art exhibition, only that you can buy your favorite piece of art and take it with home. :D

I can't wait till I finally get to enter one of their flagship stores. Ultimate experience!

Their shoes are crazy, odd, weird! They are so freakishly creative, infact my first response upon seeing United Nude shoes was "What is this crazy shit?!" quickly followed with a "It's awesome!"

Love at first sight.

The designer duo behind this label is Rem D Koolhaas and Galahad Clark, an architect and a shoe maker, and it was founded in 2003. After reading more about them my appreciation for their designs grew even wider.

Their shoes are like pure art to me and the more I look at them the more I appreciate them. I love the architectual touch and the creativity behind United Nude and simply the idea of combining fashion with architecture.

Truth is, I've been wanting to become an architect but also a fashion designer for a while. United Nude makes both happen :)

United Nude collaborated with Iris van Herpen, a dutch designer.

It took my a while to actually like these shoes, simply because I found the lines too distracting and I couldn't make up my mind whether this was a wedge or a heel. Today I adore this shoe and love the deceiving effect. The brown model is also one of my favorite designs. But you'd never catch me in the first pair (white) as they are just too odd for me :)

Another reason why I love United Nude is that even though they are so crazy their designs are still totally wearable! (Can't say that about Lady Gaga)

They've become my ultimate inspiration pump and fueled me to believe that everything is possible, dream bigger and combine possibilities.

We'll be an never ending love story. If United Nude was a man, this would be the moment I'd ask him to marry me :P

My top 6 favorite shoes in no particular order. It was hard picking them out. Naturally, there are also some shoes that I don't like, but I look at them with different eyes now.

I'd love to wear United Nude shoes to Fashion Week this summer. Fashion week feels like a free pass to wearing crazy outfits, things you don't wear during your everyday life unless you are Lady Gaga ofcourse. 

The only legimate time of the year you can to go all gaga/experimental when it comes to dressing. And these shoes are made for Fashion Week (not that I wouldn't wear them every other day anyway :P) They are stunners and immediate eye catchers ;)

Infact they've got my mind spinning over potential outfits to Fashion Week.

Created to inspire. 

I believe that that is the reason behind Lady Gaga... ahhh I could go on for hours with my theories on human behaviour! Maybe I should become a psycologist :P More on my Lady Gaga theory another time ;)

We owe United Nude and Lady Gaga a lot, they make up for the lost hope, creativity and fantasies in the oh so boring people of our lost society.

This is as obvious as inspiration can get. And we need to welcome it with open arms and appreciate it.

Ps: See you in a week! Off to Florence :D

pps: What do you get when you cross an architect with a shoe maker? United Nude ;P

NEW SUNNIES

Sunglasses I Sonnenbrille: H&M

These glasses got some serious swagger!
I've been busily packing the last few days and buying last minute things I need to go to Florence. Waaaah I'm on my way to Florence already by tomorrow morning :D
Thanks for the tipps you guys gave me! Anyone got some more tipps on where to shop/ eat?
I've prepared a few post for the next week, because I probably won't have any internet connection but you never know if there might be some sort of internet appocalypse i.e. Blogger fiasco during that week or whatsoever. Things might be running slow on the blog.
I didn't post my United Nude post as planned, as I wanted to leave my blog with a post about the people that inspire me the most. If there should be a break down, I'm breaking down in style :P
It will be up tonight :)

•••

Diese Brille ist so richtig swaggerfied!
Ich war in den letzten Tagen sehr mit dem packen beschäftigt und den last-minute Einkäufen für Florenz. Waaaaah morgen früh bin ich schon auf dem Weg nach Florenz :D
Danke nochmal für die Tipps! Hat jemand vielleicht noch weitere Tipps wo man Essen/ Shoppen sollte?
Ich habe ein paar Posts für die nächste Woche vorbereitet, da ich wahrscheinlich kein Internet haben werde, aber man nie weiß, ob sich so was wie eine Internet Apokalypse i.e. Blogger Fiasco genau in der Woche abspielen wird oder was auch immer. Demzufolge könnte es hier auf dem Blog sehr langsam laufen.
Ich habe meinen United Nude Post nicht wie geplant geposted, da ich meinen Blog mit einem Post über die Leute, die mich am meisten inspirieren. Falls es zu einem Fall kommt, dann fällt mein Blog in Style :P
Der Post wird heute Abend da sein :)

Hey lovely people!
I'm back from hospital. In fact I was released on Friday. Same old me, just without my tonsils. It's good to be back home.  And I'm fine and well I guess. I've been put on a ice-cream and only mashed-things diet (I swear I've been eating only ice cream & milkrice (rice water? rice pudding? What do you call that stuff in English???)

Anyway. I put together a little outfit on polyvore. What do you guys think? Daaamn I'd rock that outfit :D
I haven't been in the mood really to take outfit pictures yet. Hope you understand! I look like a mess and actually I'm not supposed to strut the streets like it's my personal caltwalk. But don't be afraid, they are coming up this week anyway. ^^

Thank you all for your 'Get well soon'-wishes. I'm sure they are the reason I'm back home so early ;)

Hallo ihr Lieben!
Ich bin wieder da. Ich wurde schon am Freitag wieder nach Hause geschickt. Bin noch ganz die Alte, nur ohne Mandeln. Es ist schön wieder zu Hause zu sein. Und mir gehts so weit so gut. Ich wurde auf eine Eis&Brei- Diät gesetzt (ich schwöre, ich hab mich in den letzten Tagen nur Eis und Milchreis ernährt.)

Jedenfalls. Ich habe ein Outfit bei Polyvore erstellt. Was denkt iht? Daaaamn ich würd dieses Outfit rocken. :D Ich war bis jetzt nicht wirklich in der Stimmung Outfitposts zu machen. Hoffe ihr versteht das! Ich sehe aus wie der letzte Penner und eigentlich soll ich auch nicht wirklich durch die Gegend spazieren, als wäre es mein persöhnlicher Caltwalk. Aber keine Sorge, sie  kommen trotzdem noch diese Woche. ^^

Ein ganz großen dank an alle "Werd schnell wieder gesund"- Wünsche. Ich bin sicher, sie sind schuld, weshalb ich schon wieder zu Hause sein kann ;)
