product description
New with box. - Never worn. - Box and brochure included. - Rare limited edition. Zaha Hadid in collaboration with Melissa, 2008. This project expanded Zaha Hadid's portfolio into the realm of fashion, creating an exciting opportunity to express spatial ideas on a different scale and through different media. For the first time, Melissa collaborates with an architect opening a new research subject, diversifying her repertoire. The design engages with the fluid organic contours of the body. The asymmetrical quality of the shoes lends a sense of movement inherent to the design, evoking continuous transformation. The concept addresses the perception of wearing the shoe in motion rather than that of a static display on a store window. The shoes emerge from the ground and move up the foot and leg in a smooth, elegant movement. The plastic organic quality of the choreography adheres to the skin. There is an implicit sensation of lightness that blurs the boundary between body and object. Advanced computer modeling allowed us to develop the product and establish a dialogue with Melissa to bring the design to the production line. The fluidity of the design matched perfectly with Melissa's plastic injection molding technology, generating great synergy between the teams.
about MELISSA
For nearly 30 years, Melissa has been working hard to design eco-friendly fashion footwear. They have achieved beauty through their design; shoes are made from eco-friendly mono materials that can be easily disassembled and recycled, as well as being completely cruelty-free with no animal products. Production is 100% efficient, with 100%-of-materials-used and no excess waste. Melissa assures us that they strive to ensure the very best working conditions for all shoe-makers and employees and Melissa shoes are made in Brazil. The shoes have been getting some publicity lately on the red carpet with Katy Perry, Agyness Deyn, Anne Hathaway, Cate Blanchett and Kate Moss all showing off their hot Melissas.
