Melissa with a capital 'Mmmmmmm'

Desire and Triton Blue Brazil's fashion sandal line Melissa is famous for their comfy and cute jelly shoes. Recent collaborations have included high profile designers such as Vivienne Westwood and Alexandre Herchcovitch. These shoes are made of pliable, hypoallergenice rubber in great colors, and even better, they're made of recycled factory materials and can be recycled themselves when you're finished with them!
But in latest news with Melissa, fashion and architecture take cues from one another, but now shoe company Melissa is combining the two together with Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid's shoe line for the Brazilian brand.
Although some reviewers in London are not impressed . Under the headline "The shoes that say don't quit your day job" they write, "they are what happen when you ask an architect to design a pair of shoes."
Hadid's currently working on the London Aquatic Center for the London summer Olympics 4 years from now. And from the look of the shoes to the shape of her swimming center, I think Hadid has a touch of the Olympic fever.

Well in my doc’s opinion I have come down with a Melissa fever.
