Complex Spiralling Stilettos (UPDATE)

The Mojito Shoe by Julian Hakes is Dizzying and Delightful

Daring fashionistas might find it hard to resist the Mojito Shoe by Julian Hakes that is one part frightening and a whole lot of fabulous. The complex stiletto is crafted to create a spiral-like effect that confuses the onlooker as to how such a creation is possible as well as just how they get their foot into it.

Now, it's important to note that the Hakes is an architectural designer, which is undoubtedly the reason for his ability to create aw-inspiring designs like the Mojito Shoe. The design is now slated for mass production as it was previously created to be a work of art; demand for such extravagant heels has exploded and Hakes is being approached by major fashion houses for more elaborate creations.
