United Nude is the new brand made by the mediatic genius (also architect:P) of Rem Koolhaas!
United Nude launched in 2003 with the Mobius shoe. Since then, United Nude has established itself as an iconic brand at the intersection of fashion and design.
Within a limited range of design concepts, United Nude invents many clear variations. An audience of United Nude lovers has been created, simply by triggering people's imaginations.
United nude products are about clear concept, elegance and innovation. New ways of constructing and new materials enforce the identity of the brand.
UN worldwide
Started by Rem D Koolhaas and Galahad Clark, United Nude has grown into a worldwide team of creative minds. With studios in London (UK) and Guangzhou (China), United Nude has become part of a creative collective, functioning as a hub of interaction between architects, fashion designers, magazine editors and photographers.

:::: Skin + Bones: Parallel Practices in Fashion and Architecture ::::
High fashion + modern architecture = MOCA's latest exhibit
This exhibition explores the common visual and intellectual principles that underlie both fashion and architecture. Both disciplines start with the human body and expand on ideas of space and movement, serving as outward expressions of personal, political, and cultural identity. Architects and fashion designers produce environments defined through spatial awareness—the structures they create are based on volume, function, proportion, and material. Presenting the work of international fashion designers and architects, the exhibition examines themes such as shelter, identity, tectonic strategies, creative process, and parallel stylistic tendencies including deconstruction and minimalism. The exhibition is curated by MOCA Curator of Architecture & Design Brooke Hodge and is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.
