Are you the type to stand out in a crowd with your funky heels? If your answer is a resounding yes, you’ll want to check out Melissa’s new collaboration with Chilean designer Sebastian Errazuriz. The limited edition capsule collection came to life as a response to the artist’s globally-travelled line of 3D-printed shoe-like sculptures, titled Twelve Shoes for Twelve Lovers, inspired by his ex-girlfriends. And with names like ‘Cry Baby’, ‘The Virgin’ and ‘Heartbreaker’, you can’t help but be intrigued.
Lucky for us, two styles from the installation have been modified into wearable designs, and arrive on our shores with approximate 30 pairs each. ‘Gold Digger’ looks like, well, a hunched-back man with the weight of the shoe on his shoulders; while ‘The Boss’ features a trio of edgy brass knuckles on its underside. Retailing at $590 a pop, these heels aren’t exactly wallet-friendly, but they’ll get you noticed, for sure.
Available while stocks last at the Melissa MDREAMS pop-up store at #B1-05B Wheelock Place until Nov 10.
