Zaha Hadid + Melissa

After Vivienne Westwood and Alexander Herchcovitch, it is the turn of the architect Zaha Hadid to design a pair of shoes for melissa, the Brazilian brand. "For thirty years now, I've been looking for different spheres of creativity in the design and architecture fields, and this project is a real challenge for me, not just because of the design but because of technical aspects.
There was a real synergy between us. I worked closely with melissa to transform my design into reality" said the architect. From this momentum a plastic footwear was born. "melissa + Zaha Hadid" will be produced in 8 colors (red, black, silver…). Fashionistas will only be able to buy this new "must-have" in September

melissa is known for its recyclable plastic shoes and will organise a launch event on September 18 during London fashion week. Zaha Hadid, famous for his avant-garde creations, recently collaborated with Chanel for a of contemporary art mobile museum, Chanel Mobile Art.
