The downstairs floor imagery is constantly moving. As is the back wall. It's fluid, kind of like the capabilities of plastic. Oh, and they're also 100% recyclable, in case you were wondering. Read on to see the collaborations up close.

You can get Gareth Pugh on your tootsies for $105! It's really got his DNA in every aspect of the shoe. He told their in-store magazine Plastic, "I don't collaborate a great deal with other brands, so whatever I do with this needs to be done in a way that I am 100% happy with the product before it goes out." On the chosen print: "The print of the sandal is very characteristic of my work. It emerged from a drawing that I did as soon as I left college and since then it changes a little bit every season. It is a historical print in my career."

Jason Wu set out to make something very characteristically him, and also Melissa at the same time. "It's a pleasure for me to work with plastic in such an innovative way. It is a very modern material present in our daily lives and the possibility of making it more fashionable is very interesting."

"It is amazing what Melissa can do with plastic. Each shoe has a character and tells a story." - Vivienne Westwood

Dita Von Teese snatched all three of these line-backed peep-toe wedges on her Melissa visit.

You can't buy Melissa online, only in the store. Let yourself be Wu-ed into the store. Or go to one of the more than 700 stores worldwide that carry them. Galleria Melissa 102 Greene St New York, NY But you can check out the shoes pre-visit.

Melissa has paired with renowned Italian architect Gaetano Pesce to create the ultimate shoe. The new Melissa ankle boot can transform into seven different shapes! Featured in a variety of colors, the shoe is made of interconnected plastic circular structures.

I can’t say that I’m the biggest fan of the Karim Rashid x Melissa curved wedge heel, but there is something about the futuristic design that is a bit appealing. I don’t like the color pink or the cheap looking flocking texture, but I would probably like these shoes if they were done in a black rubber or all leather. On second thought, these shoes remind me of those jelly shoes that went out of style in the 1980′s. I think i’ll take a pass. 

But hey, if you like them, snag your pair at Browns! 

Thanks Highsnobette!

All of the designs are eco-friendly and 100% recyclable.
