Zaha Hadid’s footware collections are perfect examples of the interest she took in fashion, as well as her expressive versatility. The United Nude brand, founded by architect Rem Koohlaas’ nephew, produced an architecturally inspired pair of shoes designed by Hadid, that reflect her signature style. The Brazilian brand, Melissa, are known for their plastic shoes and collaborations with artists and designers, including the Campana Brothers and Gaetano Pesce. Hadid created a delicate, feminine pair with unexpected references to Tango shoes.

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
