MY CREATIONS

There are some wild shoes coming out for fall -- Nina Ricci's stiletto-less 8-inch stilettos and Rodarte's bondage-y, over-the-shoulder boots among them.

But there's something even more out-there about Lacoste's new limited-edition collection created in collaboration with Zaha Hadid Architects, which will be shipping to swanky boutiques including Colette in Paris and 10 Corso Como in Milan this wek.

The shoes look like alien feet -- only hollowed out. Sounds scary, I know. But I'm totally digging their spacey vibe and pragmatic fit. There's not a lot of wasted material here.

The collaboration began with a digitized interpretation of Lacoste's iconic crocodile logo, which Hadid's research team used as a basis to explore a series of surfaces with repeated patterns.

"The design expression behind the collaboration...allows the evolution of dynamic fluid grids," said Hadid. "When wrapped around the shape of a foot, these expand and contract to negotiate and adapt to the body ergodynamically."

So, basically, these are comfy-cool shoes that will undoubtedly double as a conversation-starter.
