A marvel of modern engineering, the Hoover Dam is often considered one of the man-made wonders of the world. This summer, the 1,244 foot long structure is not only holding the Colorado River at bay; it is now heralding a new career as a fashion landmark. Jessica Minh Anh will bring her annual summer fashion show to the top of the structure, showcasing the work of international haute couture designers from Peru, Malaysia, Turkey and more. Anh hopes to broadcast a message about utilitizing renewable energy with her show, stating that, “I’m always drawn to spectacular mega structures, especially those that benefit mankind. Hoover Dam controls floods while providing water and electricity to millions of homes. It is truly a monument of human accomplishment against the rules of nature. I cannot think of a better venue to celebrate the best of modern architecture, culture, fashion, and technology."
For the last five years, Anh has chosen various international landmarks for her fashion shows, with the first occurring across the top of London's Tower Bridge. Since then, she has also done shows at the Eiffel Tower, One World Trade Center, and the Grand Canyon Skywalk. Anh plans to use advances in video technology to film her show from all angles so that it can be broadcast worldwide. The show is slated to take place on June 26th, with support from Las Vegas-based fashion organizations such as The Mirror Mirror salon and Saks Fifth Avenue Las Vegas.

Fashion is one of those rare things that allows you to say everything without speaking a single word. Designer shoes are just a form of this unspoken sartorial communication, but its one so subtle that only other sneakerheads are likely to pick up on it. And its this understated luxury that makes tennis shoes so appealingat least to us. Over the years with the release of exclusive collaborations, limited-edition lines and one-off collections that sell out in mere minutes, its easy to see how collectors can drop thousands of dollars on sneakers. But there are plenty of designer kicks that cost just as much, if not more, then pre-owned, special-edition Jordans. The only difference is you dont have to spend months on resale sites trying to hunt down your preferred size, color and brand. Here are the most expensive kicks you can still own. None of these bad boys have sold outyet.
