Schon Magazine's 'Cool Hand Luke' editorial showcases [unthinkably tall stilettos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vida-collection) in an artistic manner. Jed Root photographer Ted Humble-Smith teamed up with fashion editor Human Humayun, bringing their unique talents and vision to the cooperative table.

This high heeled dream takes viewers on a tour of [spikes, studs and jewels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chet-lo). Snapshots of pairs from the houses of Jimmy Choo, Chanel, Hugo Boss, Christian Louboutin and Valentino confirm the upper crust nature of Cool Hand Luke.

Glitzy green mannequin pieces are used to drape the shoes upon. [Thin clutches and wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtuosity-high-jewelry) are also displayed, a likely decision given the common pairing of bags with footwear.

Funky flashes of light display shadows and sparkles, offering varying vantage points for viewers of the Humayun-Humble-Smith masterpiece.
