Melissa X Karl Lagerfeld

| Filed Under: Beauty & Style | Reading Time: 4 minutes

Good news Karl Lagerfeld aficionados! Melissa is collaborating with Manong Karl.

Aside from being the first partnership with a Brazilian brand, it was also Lagerfeld’s debut experience in creating shoes entirely from this unusual material. Karl explained the differences: “I had never worked with plastic in this way before. It’s not the classic technique, I am used to working with more traditional techniques for Fendi, Chanel and Lagerfeld shoes. My inspiration was the native country of the brand, celebrating the Brazilian “joie de vivre”.When asked if this partnership reflects all of his experience in fashion, the designer was emphatic: “I hope it will not reflect ‘decades of experience’ and have some freshness!” he adds: “I design footwear the same way I design clothes: with feeling. I express in my design, but what is not analyzed is what I design. I am not a marketing person.”Lagerfeld explained that this partnership, which will continue for four capsule collections with Melissa, will help him to get to know Brazil and its industry better. Finally, when asked about who he would like to see wearing his creations, he stated: “A designer should never ask himself such a question.

If Karl Lagerfeld were to define the Brazilian word “ginga,” perhaps he’d say it’s a tropical savoir faire that exists only in Brazil. But if he were to translate “ginga” into a fashion product, the result would be this kitten heel that contrasts curvy lines with a square front that’s robust and powerful. The savoir is reflected in the two colorful stripes that run from the heel to the sole. Très chic. Melissa Ginga honors Brazil with a colour pallette inspired by the country native flag.

Melissa Glam + Karl Lagerfeld P3495

The Melissa Glam’s shape has been the star of various Melissa collaborations. This season, under Karl Lagerfeld’s vision, the shoe has been transformed into a futuristic- looking flat with an appliqué of half-spheres at the top. Very much in Lagerfeld’s style, this is a stunning Melissa. Besides having a high fashion factor, this particular model is perfect to help intensify a long silhouette, made ever more so when paired with skinny jeans and Lagerfeld’s masterly made, sleeveless, oversized silk shirts. For a glam touch, the glitterry versions are key to turning you into an It Girl By Karl.
