"The most amazing thing about this partnership was to
be able to create modern products, with very high quality, for affordable
prices" - VIVIENNE WESTWOOD.
For more than three decades Vivienne Westwood has forged her
way into the hearts, minds and purses of fashionistas across the globe. Now she has found a place within melissa's
collections, with the collaboration commencing in 2008 and continuing through
to 2012.
Westwood has created (at last count) 21models through her
Anglomania brand exclusively for melissa.
Some are new designs whilst others are a re-birth in plastic of her
previous leather designs. Just as
Westwood lends her Anglomania designs to melissa ... melissa returns in kind
with Westwood doing her own take on the cult melissa 'ultragirl' slipper.
Westwood's trademark practicality is a faultless match for
melissa's injected thermoplastic.
"This technique guarantees perfect shapes without interweaves as we
see in fabrics ..." says the designer herself. In Anglomania all of Westwood's
quintessential Englishness and unabashed historicism loans itself neatly to her
creations for melissa's collection. Her
designs are unquestionably British, undeniably feminine and fearlessly
non-conformist. melissa renowned for its
innovation and boldness seems the ideal fit for this enviable brand
extension. Indeed, as Westwood once
likened fashion to a baby that she had picked up and never put down melissa is
precisely that for many devotees.
Westwood is an institution, now the esteemed matriarch counts
the melissa brand as a part of her monarchy.
