Since its founding in 1979, Melissa has expanded to more than 60 countries worldwide and remained committed to bringing fashion, art, and design together. Its collaboration with SUSAN FANG, an emerging designer who graduated from Central Saint Martins and was named to Forbes 30 Under 30, is certainly a major surprise for the fashion world. SUSAN FANG’s designs are known for their ethereal, poetic quality and mathematical precision. For this collaboration, she brings the brand’s distinctive romantic cuts, 3D floral motifs, and soft colors to Melissa’s classic shoes, creating a distinctive style that feels modern with a slightly surreal, dreamlike atmosphere.

🩰 Melissa x SUSAN FANG: 3 featured shoe styles

1. Melissa Luna Bloom Romantic Ballet Flats

The classic ballet-flat silhouette is paired with delicate 3D floral embellishments, perfectly capturing the romance of spring and summer. They’re ideal for everyday wear with dresses or jeans.

2. Melissa Possession Platform Sakura Cherry Blossom Platform Sandals

The brand’s iconic Possession silhouette gets a fresh take with sculptural 3D cherry blossom details and a platform sole that instantly elongates the legs. They’re a dream pair for petite girls.

3. Melissa Daphnis Ballerina Elegant Flats

Simple in design yet full of detail, these flats precisely capture SUSAN FANG’s signature elegance and the charm of the modern woman. They’re a polished, versatile choice for everyday wear.

Discussing the collaboration, designer SUSAN FANG shared the touching story behind its creation. Working closely with her husband, fellow industrial designer Orelio de Jonghe, she continually pushed technical limits to create a dreamy, surreal pair of shoes. With Melissa’s exceptional production expertise, they successfully created a lucky shoe surrounded by 360-degree 3D flowers, symbolizing good fortune and abundant love for the wearer.

The collection’s most striking detail is its magical gradient effect. The shoe material transitions naturally from opaque to crystal-clear transparency, looking as delicate as glass while feeling incredibly soft and comfortable to wear. The line centers on light, bright pastel ice-cream shades, with each style offered in 4 different colorways. They echo the energy of spring and summer while conveying a dreamlike sense of optimism.

The entire collection is made from Melissa’s exclusively developed Melflex® vegan formula. This means the shoes are highly water-resistant and soft enough to handle unpredictable spring and summer weather, while meeting modern demand for sustainable fashion. The 360-degree 3D petal design is sure to turn heads; whether paired with a simple white tee and jeans or a flowy dress, it instantly makes any outfit feel more polished.
