I came across United Nude, located at 13 Floral Street, one day after working in Covent Garden, London. It is an architectural shoe company founded by architect Rem D Koolhaas and seventh generation shoemaker Galahad Clark.
The brand has brought its signature retail concept to Floral Street, Covent Garden, London, shrouding the entire 200 sqm. space in darkness, while the most amazing heels you have ever seen are individually highlighted in the eye-catching, computer-controlled wall of light.
United Nude prides itself on being one of the most collaborative design companies in the fashion world today, working together with new and upcoming designers as well as world renowned names to create surprising and original looks that fuse together different talents and ideas.
Among members of the fashion world, Iris van Herpen is known for pushing the boundaries of Haute Couture. On January 23rd she showed for the second time as an official guest of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture in Paris, and once again wowed the audience.
Models stepped out in “Fang” shoes with ten sharp teeth to each foot – the product of van Herpen’s fifth successful collaboration with United Nude. The shape of the wedge is so complex that each one consists of fiberglass and carbon fiber, made in a slow molding process.
Iris van Herpen’s designs demonstrate fashion as art. Her creations are clear artistic statements through which women can express their unique character. It is no surprise that Bjork and Lady Gaga are part of her devoted clientele.
Dutch designer Mattijs van Bergen is celebrated for his curvaceous fashion and freshly feminine designs. On February 5 he closed Amsterdam Fashion week with a show at the Heineken Music Hall that stunned the media and turned into the biggest event of the week.
The footwear for the show was specially designed by United Nude in collaboration with Mattijs. An exclusive limited edition of these Mattijs x United Nude shoes will be available from United Nude in 2012.

Rem D Koolhaas, Creative Director United Nude, said: “Mattijs and United Nude have been talking about collaborating for a while and now was the right time. Even though this is already our third collaboration with a Dutch designer this year, we went for it. Joining forces in the creative field is part of the United Nude spirit and we are proud to be perhaps one of the most collaborative brands in the industry.”
For Autumn/Winter 2009-2010 United Nude made a series of boots for up-and-coming Dutch fashion designer Antoine Peters. The Sharpei boots are decorated with Antoine's striking arrow prints.
In the Spring of 2007 United Nude teamed up with the provocative Chinese photographer 223 for a series of daring photos edited by Charlie Koolhaas. For more on 223 visit his website: www.linzhipeng223.com
