Since its establishment in 1979, Melissa has broadened its innovations and created countless unique and stunning shoes, some of which have become the brand’s most iconic collections. Throughout the four decades of its history, the brand has collaborated with internationally renowned artists and fashion designers, from Jean Paul Gaultier, Thierry Mugler, and Campana Brothers to Zaha Hadid, Karl Lagerfeld, Vivienne Westwood, Jason Wu, Viktor & Rolf, Collina Strada, and Jeremy Scott. One of its most recent collaborations is with Y/Project for the 2024 F/W runway collection. Melissa’s signature POSSESSION shoes, inspired by the jelly shoes and sandals from the 1990s, have become a global fashion phenomenon, making the model one of the brand’s most successful products. Following its commitment to take the brand to another level of sustainability and become more active in implementing a truly socially and environmentally responsible production process, the majority of Melissa shoes are made of Melflex®, the brand’s patented PVC that offers great flexibility, durability, and environmental friendliness.
