Melissa x Viktor&Rolf 5th Collection Launch
Brazilian footwear and accessory brand Melissa is excited to debut a special collaboration with Amsterdam-based avant-garde fashion label Viktor&Rolf, celebrating their fifth capsule collection launched November 4th, 2022.
Viktor&Rolf have sought to challenge preconceptions of fashion and bridge the divide between fashion and art. Now, the brand known for avant-garde designs by Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren, has brought the universe of haute couture to Melissa. The design process throughout this collaboration was inspired by visuals of candy wrappers in which those visual aesthetics are incorporated into the designs.
This Melissa + Viktor&Rolf launch comes in four new designs, the Melissa Party Heel Tie, the Melissa Mar Sandal Tie, the Melissa Beach Slide Next Gen Knot, and the Melissa + Viktor&Rolf Bag. Each design comes in five colorways ranging from orange, brown, pink, white and black –– must haves for this year’s fall wardrobe.
All shoes are made from recyclable plastic materials and are available to buy online at shopmelissa.com and viktor-rolf.com from $119.00 to $189.00 USD.
