You’ve probably heard it a million times, but we’re going to say it anyway: “Strong Is (Indeed) The New Pretty.”
Gone are the days when women are cast as “damsels in distress,” waiting for someone else to save them. Today, a woman can—and does—stand confidently on her own. Melissa’s Fall/Winter 2017 FlyGrl collection celebrates exactly that, empowering individuals across age and gender. It explores identity through footwear, translating equality, respect, and freedom into a playful array of bold, stylish shapes.
Think spunky, genderless shoes with an edge. The Brazilian shoewear label has drawn inspiration from 1980s unconventional street style, where young women expressed themselves through hip hop culture. Each design carries a subtle message: be unapologetically yourself and let your shoes wield a quiet power.
Our top picks? The Melissa Wonder (top row, 1st from the left) delivers maximum attitude, while the glossy Melissa Cosmic Sandal (top row, 2nd from the left) reinvents a Melissa classic with gladiator-inspired flair. Little ones can join the fun with the Mini Melissa Mia Fabula II (bottom row, 1st from the left), a silver-glitter sandal with an easy velcro clasp, perfect for channeling their inner glamouratti.
Melissa shoes from the FlyGrl collection range from SGD $90 to $195, with the exception of the J. Maskrey collaboration, which retails up to SGD $550. Mel & Mini Melissa shoes start from SGD $80 and go up to $130.
The Melissa FlyGrl Collection is available nationwide at all MDREAMS boutiques, selected retailers, and online at mdreams.com.sg.
