An unexpected meeting of surreal contrasts made of an incredibly casual-chic style, this is how we would define the unprecedented and unmissable collaboration between Melissa and Viktor&Rolf for this F/W 2020. Avant-garde by definition and with incredible romantic-punk charm, Viktor & Rolf is the iconic brand with unexpected and ever-present elegance. On the other hand, Melissa, thanks to the continuous research and development of footwear with innovative design and materials, has become the must-have in terms of it-shoes in just a few years.
What do they have in common? Undoubtedly the anti-conventional and disruptive character, a provocative spirit and an incredible ability to always keep up with the times. The two decided to merge their souls, to create a capsule of accessories that mix some of Melissa‘s iconic silhouettes, reviving them with an ultra-feminine twist that recalls Viktor&Rolf‘s unforgettable haute couture creations for colour palettes and moods. In particular, it is Melissa’s “Possession” model that is reinterpreted and combined with the “Lace Bag” inspired by the Anglaise broderie. The colours are soft, pastel and range from baby blue and pink, to gold to get to the timeless black and white in both glossy and matte versions.
The entire collection is made of Meflex, the material with Melissa’s exclusive patent, vegan and 100% recyclable, to create bags and footwear that are not only chic but above all completely sustainable. Following the trend of next summer, which wants the fisherman sandal on the podium of the must-have shoes, the Possession sandal by Melissa X Viktor & Rolf re-interprets the trend by enriching it with floral details that recall the lace and tulle of the Dutch duo. The “Lace Bag“, on the other hand, features another trendy shape, the bucket bag, in an unprecedented and incredibly cool texture. The Melissa x Viktor&Rolf collection will be available at multi-brand stores and on shopmelissa.it with prices from 99 euros for shoes to 149 euros for the bag. We fell in love with the black and pink versions, and you?
