Heineken Heels

At the Milan Design Week, the now-iconic beer company debuted its new Heineken Heels. The heels follow an unusual, towering architectural design that probably isn’t very comfortable, but looks very high fashion with a silver wrap around the feet and ankles.
Whether or not the shoes will actually be available for purchase has yet to be seen. If the world falls in love with these shoes, Heineken has officially broken completely new ground in the alcohol industry. Heineken presented its heels in its Open Design Explorations: The Club exhibition during the Milan Design Week. Next to these awesome heels, Heineken also presented a few dress designs and lots of other unexpected products.

Illy temporary shop in Milan

This Illy temporary shop in Milan, Italy, features an innovative reconfigurable design that allows it to be adapted to different areas and dimensional constraints.
Designed by Caterina Tiazzoldi and her team, this Illy temporary shop for the Illy Cafe brand features a parametric design comprising modular 45-by-45-cm cubes—200 of them, to be exact. The cubes come together to form display areas over the walls and the ceiling and can be reconfigured according to different space requirements. In fact, there are over 3,000 different configurations that can be made from this modular design.

This cool design concept offers an eye-catching geometrical look, with the space turning “into a game where [the] user’s sight shifts from an object to another discovering the inside,” describes the Retail Design Blog.

Young Versace Store in Milan

Versace couture house has opened up a ‘Young Versace’ store in Milan.
A couture haven for designer-loving children (and parents), the Young Versace store is done all in lilac and white and features whimsically gigantic yellow and lilac candy canes. 
In this luxe fashion boutique, tiny fashionistas and fashionistos will find everything from cute silk mini suits and princess frocks to Swarovski-embedded baby bottles.
The Young Versace store is dedicated to the line that launched last June at Pitti Immagine Bimbo, the international children’s wear exhibition.
