When Iconic Brazilian label melissa, collaborated with globally renowned architect Zaha Hadid, the result heralded a new era in footwear design.
Like a perfectly executed architectural project, the Zaha Hadid for melissa collection is two years in the making and a first for the world of fashion.
Iraqi born Zaha Hadid is constantly pushing the boundaries of architecture and urban design. Hadid, the first female laureate of the Pritzker prize for architecture, experiments with novel spatial concepts to intensify existing urban landscapes in a pursuit of visionary aesthetic. She challenges conventions as well as notions of space. Her vision of architecture is very personal, original and above all optimistic and this vision can be clearly seen in the shoe she created for melissa.
For over two years, Zaha Hadid worked closely with the Brazilian footwear label to transform her design into reality. The collaboration between the talented architect, and Brazilian footwear label was the perfect fit with Hadid describing, "The fluidity of our design combined perfectly with the technology of Melissa's plastic, injecting pieces without closures or seals."
The impressive asymmetrical shoes will be available in eight colours of black, red, charcoal grey, green, yellow, silver, white and purple, arriving in Australia in May 2009.
