Poetry in Motion - Mojito Shoes by Julian Hakes

As with every other girl, I have a fantastic obsession and love for shoes. When I came across this article on Dezeen about Julian Hakes and his Mojito shoes, I felt like I was hit with a brick wall of "WOW!!" with his design.

It is named the Mojito shoe as it looks similar to a twisted lime skin.


Made of carbon fibre laminated with rubber on the side that touches the floor and leather on the side next to the skin, it is quite a sight to behold. Delicate, airy, light and elegant


We were wondering as to how the shoe looks if a model were to wear it, a quick hunt through Google images turned up blank. Only images of the shoes untouched. Disappointing. We are left with only these images of a tantalizingly beautiful piece of art waiting to be worn ;P



I prefer the impractical beauty of Hake's Mojito shoes to Zaha's Hadid's heels.....What do you think?
