Melissa x Gareth Pugh = …

If the British designer Gareth Pugh and the Brazilian footwear label Melissa cooperate, the outcomes are sandals and flats, which look like sculptures – but very comfortable sculptures. „The idea for the sandal was taken from the vented outfits produced for my first show in Paris – these formed an exoskeleton,“ said Pugh to style.com. „The Melissa style has quite an amour-like quality to it, which I love, but essentially they’re an open work sandal, nothing as weighty or as cumbersome as armor.“

Next Gareth Pugh has a collaboration with the beauty line MAC – comes out in January 2012. „Well at least I know what my mom’s getting for Christmas this year!“
