United Nude presents its latest collaboration project between its founder Rem D. Koolhaas and artist & photographer, Charlie Koolhaas. In the Koolhaas cousins' latest project, they have created a limited edition collection that combines documentary photographs of urban landscapes from various cities with a thigh-high heeled boot.
This project is a continuation of Charlie's experimentation with turning her photographs of globalized metropolises into fashion objects. The photographs, taken from her recent book, CITY LUST, document settings of everyday life, for example, a recycling facility in Lagos or a bucket of scorpions sold in a market in China. As the streets and surfaces of these often overlooked spaces are applied as fabrics, textures and colors, they become beautiful and surreal objects that invite us to think critically about beauty and fashion's relationship to the real world.
The Art Long Boot is available in 6 prints. Each pair is made to order with its own unique serial number, making it a truly exclusive product.
