Jean Paul Gaultier and Melissa collaborate | Modem Mag

their plastic stiletto sandal's sales starts in June 2010. Concerning Jean Paul Gaultier, the challenge was to create a high heeled plastic shoe with all the values of his design ethos: "Working with Melissa has been a coup de pied à la mode."

Gaultier has designed an exclusive 10cm chiselled heel 100% recyclable plastic stiletto sandal.

Melissa is the holder of an exclusive technology for injected thermoplastic.

Due to the intricacy of design, which comprises both opaque and transparent plastics in varying strap widths, and a metal cigarette heel, the newest technology advances in production have had to be implemented.

Multi-faceted design permutations which illustrate just how versatile, practical and breathable a plastic shoe can be, welcome the comfort of wearing such a malleable material, particularly heels.

Other designers' collaborations with Melissa include: Vivienne Westwood, Zaha Hadid, Judy Blame, Alexandre Herchcovitch, Karim Rashid, and The Campana Brothers.
