Jean Paul Gaultier And Melissa Team Up Again
Jean Paul Gaultier was one of the first designers to ever collaborate with Melissa back in 1982. Since then, the Brazilian brand of plastic shoes has worked with the likes of Mugler, Patrick Cox, Karim Rashid, Alexandre Herchcovitch, the Campana Brothers, and more recently Vivienne Westwood ,and Zaha Hadid. For spring 2010, Melissa and Gaultier teamed up again to prove that a pencil thin plastic heel can look pretty cool and sexy.
Melissa is celebrating its 30th anniversary with an exhibit in Santa Tereza in Rio, which opened to the public this week, and runs until November 15. Do not miss it of you are in Rio
