Melissa has designed some plastic shoes for some very well known designers. The Melissa footwear brand selects big designers and allows them to enjoy the fun of creating an iconic shoe.
The Brazilian-based brand had more or less disappeared from the United States over the past few years, but it’s now back and its designs are as eye-catching as ever. Having reputed designers including Jean-Paul Gaultier, Thierry Mugler and Vivienne Westwood to design their plastic footwear, Melissa has become a style to reckon with.
