Melissa Shoes - A Work of Art

Melissa Shoes is the creative genius of Edson Matuso, an architect born in Brazil, who is an expert of graphic design and illustrations. He leads the world in plastic footwear because plastic is an art form that fascinates him. His greatest impact are Melissa shoes, which can be found on the feet of celebrities, their children, international runways, exclusive shops, and in nearly every level of retail stores on this planet. Melissa Shoes are so unique, that they are outside the boundaries of chic shoes. How often do you hear that their shoes smell like candy, which are the continued remarks of many of the Melissa Shoes. Melissa is celebrating over 30 years (began in 1979) of reaching over 50 countries with over 50 million pairs. 

The number of pairs is due to the amazing collaboration of Melissa with famed fashion designers, architects, and product designers. Dropping international designer names is easy when their unique designs are seen walking down the streets of the U.S.A in a variety of Melissa styles: 

• Swarovski jewelers
• Vivienne Westwood
• Zaha Hadid
• Karim Rashid
• Walt Disney
• Alexander Herskovich
• John Paul Gaultier
• Lovefoxxx
• Jason Wu
• Karl Lagerfeld
• J. Maskrey
• Campana Brothers
• Judy Blame for Louis Vuitton
• Isabela Capeto
• Patrick Cox
• Issey Miyake 

These notable and famed uber designers in collaboration with Melissa, have incorporated their designs in other fields, as a part and look for Melissa shoes. Melissa's plastic shoes are not only comfortable, but all the styles are continuously recycled. Don't get confused with the plastic “jellys” of old, because the Melissa brand is so appealing and affordable, that they are the new forward, fashionable design for years to come. 

The Melissa Shoes are sophisticated, stylish, swanky, and eco-friendly. Melissa does not cause feet sweats because there are an openly designed footwear that allows the even flow of air across your feet. The shoes are purposely designed from mono materials, like the innovative “Melflex” plastic that is extremely durable, flexible, and comfy. Melissa Shoes can also be easily broken down and recycled. Who would have ever thought that plastic shoes would be worn on the red carpet by stars like Kate Moss, Katy Perry, Anne Hathaway, the Kardashians, Rhianna, and many other female celebs. 

You will know Melissa Shoes when someone is wearing them, because of their candy colouring sheen, their amazing architectural designs, and the myriad of accessories that adorns them. Melissa is manufactured in Brazil, with a motto of creating and developing fashion, using a product that benefits the environment, and that is made with the highest standards. Melissa the company has been awarded the most environmentally responsible companies in the world. For these reasons, fashion designers who once, probably would not be caught dead in shoes made out of plastic, are now the leading designers for Melissa. 

When the above famous architects and avant-garde designers submit their creative shoe designs, they are given collection names, like “Mel,” “Melissa's Plastic Dreams,” “Aranha,” “Eat My Melissa,” and “We Are Flowers.” The out-of-this-world Melissa Shoes, are designed with a synthetic lining and a cushioned footbed, in the form of sandals, pumps, platforms, flats, flip flops, sneakers, for children and their moms. In addition to international runways and premiers, Melissa's durable shoes can be worn year round, even at the beach. Renowned magazines are touting the fine design and fit of Melissa shoes in the publications of The New York Times, Frame, Arc Design, Interni, and many others. I am waiting and watching out for the next Melissa launch, they have been introducing new collaborations every season.
