No further than last week, I was completely in awe about a certain Melissa collaboration. You might remember the strange ankle boots turning into sandals made in collaboration with the Italian architect Gaetano Pesce we talked about just before the weekend. Well this one it’s again about Melissa. Only it’s not the same overwhelming aesthetic [...]

Melissa and I got acquainted a while back. And I must say (as you may have noticed), it was far from being a warm encounter. At first. As time went by, I began to warm up at Melissa’s charms and slowly, but surely gave into their plastic dreams. With big names of fashion and architecture [...]

We’ve had the pleasure of seeing the world’s first push up bra a while back. Why should we deprive ourselves of the latest fash-archaeology discovery? A 5,500 year old sneaker has been discovered in a cave in Armenia. Though it may not look like a sneaker from today, this is the oldest known-to-date closed shoe. [...]

I’ve repeatedly made no secret of my love for wellies. Sure, I got me a black noname pair to carelessly walk in the mud, however, I still dream about a pair of black Hunters to frame and stare at – I wouldn’t dare stuff my Hunters in the mud, that’d be inappropriate for something I [...]

We’ve seen them on the catwalk. They managed to raise our eyebrows pretty high and dream about concealed alien eggs and all sort of creepy things. We’ve seen them in comparison with normal shoes and they confirmed our freight of heights and airport security thorough checkups. And even though they made a pretty interesting statement, [...]
