Blank Slate Shoe Catalogs

The United Nude SS12 Lookbook Stars Whited-Out Models

— March 20, 2012 — Fashion
Using blank slate models, each shoe in the coveted United Nude SS12 collection pops right off the page. The intricate and colorful footwear is beautifully showcased on long stark white limbs against a white backdrop. For those who think that the models are simply wearing white stockings, there is the occasional full form shot that shows their arms and faces have been painted as well. Everything is whitened out except for the United Nude SS12 collection.

Designed by architect Rem D Koolhaas and shoe maker Galahad Clark, the United Nude SS12 collection is stylish and sculptural. This collection has numerous inspirations, from Geishas to mathematics. Although each design is stunningly artistic, some come in a kaleidoscope of colors while others have been created in more subdued tones that include browns and greys.
