The Nou Project
For its latest limited edition design, the Nou Project has handpicked a select group of artists as part of its collection to create inspiring, one-of-a-kind pieces. Bridging the gap between art and footwear, you can now wear a piece of art on your feet. Made using grain leather, the shoes’ minimal lines and stitching allows for a larger canvas on which the artists can create their masterpieces. The bespoke brand was born in New York and is the brainchild of Saudi-born Nour Al Tamini and Lebanese-born co-designer Basma Chidiac. A classic line is also available in plain white, nude and black.
