14 July 2010: Melissa and Westwood's Plastic Dreams

The Autumn/Winter 2010 season see's the arrival of Vivienne Westwood Anglomania x Melissa's brightest collection yet......

This is the 4th collaborative season for the two fashion innovators who each hail from different corners of the world.

Melissa was born in 1979 in brazil when the famous shoe company Grendene created a PVC shoe (the birth of the "Jelly Sandal"), the company further evolved into Melissa and now creates their stunning and colourful range from 100% eco-friendly (and deliciously smelling) plastic. Vivienne Westwood, as we all know, has been influencing the fashion world since her rise to fame in the 1970's on the famous Kings Road, London. The Anglomania range was created in 1993 and again offered eco and animal-friendly substitutes to the rest of the fashion industry.

It seemed innevetable that these two environmentally friendly fashion giants would one day join forces. And they did for the A/W 2008 season with their first collection that became an instant hit with the fashion world. So here we are now, 2 years later with their most colourful collection to date. The famous Lady Dragon Heart shoes return with stunning shades of violet, pink and blue all perfectly finished with an over-sized peach heart.

The Vivienne Westwood Anglomania x Melissa range is available here
