Jean Paul Gaultier x Melissa [Stilettos]

 

Paris couturier Jean Paul Gaultier is the latest designer to collaborate with Brazilian brand Melissa shoes. The just-launched JPG style is a 10cm chiselled heel plastic stiletto sandal that is 100% recyclable and is available exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman. Due to the intricacy of design (which employs opaque and transparent plastics in varying strap widths, as well as a metal cigarette heel), technology advances in production were implemented to satisfy the demands of this chic shoe. The JEAN PAUL GAULTIER X MELISSA is available in black, caramel, beige, lime and tangerine. I love the black/grey combo but would also like to see the caramel and beige. I'm putting these on my must-have list for summer.

“Working with Melissa has been a coup de pied à la mode! I’ve enjoyed the challenge of creating a high heeled plastic shoe with all the values of my design ethos.” – JEAN PAUL GAULTIER
