Jean Paul Gaultier Partners With Melissa For Eco Friendly Plastic Shoes
Designer Jean Paul Gaultier has partnered with Melissa, a Brazilian footwear brand, to launch the Jean Paul Gaultier X Melissa shoes. The 10cm high heeled shoe made from opaque and transparent plastics will debut in June. The shoes will be available in four colors: black, caramel, beige, lime and tangerine. The shoes will cost 160 pounds - about $250 U.S.
Jean Paul Gaultier told Vogue UK, "I've worked very closely with Melissa on the development of this style - it's very sexy. I'd love to see it worn with fishnet tights, so you can really max out on the transparent aspect of the plastic!"
