Melissa is a brand I never found very interesting, funny or cute maybe, but nothing I could ever think to buy. I am not fond of plastic shoes even if I have to admit I own two pairs of Marni plastic sandals that someone has given to me years ago. Nevertheless I must say that Melissa has changed a lot in recent years, both in communication than in style, they are promoting more and more interesting collaborations with international designers and they manifest an Eco side that deserves all my respect.
The last week I was invited at Corso Como 10, my favorite place in Milan where to spend time dreaming to buy all the compelling pieces they sell; the gorgeous concept store has been the place for the presentation of the new collection designed by Gareth Pugh for Melissa. I witnessed a very interesting event rich of graphic explosions with stripes and stars that welcomed me in the shop while Gareth was wandering in the entrance hall from an interview to another.
The British designer has proposed two different pieces, the more classic ballerina “open toe” which Gareth has simply decorated with his patterns, and the “Aileron”, a brand new sandal that takes inspiration from Scottish architectural shapes (The Armadillo in Glasgow). Although Melissa has already collaborated with several other brands such as Vivienne Westwood, Gaetano Pesce, Jean Paul Gaultier and Jason Wu, Gareth Pugh has a special and closer relationship with the Brazilian brand, in fact they have provided shoes for his second show. I think the designer has done a very good job, along with the pairs of Gaetano Pesce these are the ones I prefer more.

Trippen was established in 1992 and has been using this concept with great success for a long time now.

Avete mai visto una donna esageratamente alta, incredibilmente magra e bellissima passeggiare per la strada ad altezze da capogiro con dei tacchi assassini? Forse avete avvertito il desiderio di vederla inciampare, barcollare oppure incastrata con le scarpe da qualche parte? Se così è, allora vi consiglio di dare un’occhiata alla sfilata primavera 2009 di Prada. [...]
