Melissa + Zaha Hadid

Starchitect Zaha Hadid, in collaboration with Brazilian shoe company Melissa, designed this fashion accessory (shoe).

Inspired by fluid movement and lines of the body, this is the first shoe designed by Zaha Hadid. Made out of plastic, like what Crocs uses to make their shoes, Zaha Hadid's shoe design even comes in a few colours !






So girls, buy this and you can pair it with your Frank Gehry + Tiffany & Co. jewelery !
Can't own their buildings, own their accessories !

ZAHA'S GUGGENHEIM

I mentioned to Joseph and KS that Zaha's Guggenheim is a good example (among others by others, off the top of my head) for curing them from designs that lack "surprise". Well, here's the Youtube link. (And a couple of pics below.) You need to watch the video for the interiors, and the surprises.
