Melissa Plastic Strappy Sandals by Jean Paul Gaultier $260.00 Saks


When I hear Melissa Shoes; chic, stylish, trendy and eco-friendly comes to mind. The brand gains more following every time a new collection launches. This time around, Melissa ups the ante by collaborating with top fashion designers. The latest partnership is with one of my all-time favorite designers Jean Paul Gaultier. Plastic shoes never looked so luxurious and very eco-chic. I love the covered and organic look of the design. The price might seem high but considering how much Gaultier's footwear costs this is not so bad.

Smart Ecostyle of the Week: Melissa Vinyl Wedges

Best Ecofashion in 2008

'Smart EcoStyle of the Week'  was a category I added a couple of months after launching TheSmartStylist.com. I saw this as an opportunity to increase awareness of eco-fabulous and eco-chic fashion, shoes and accessories. My way of helping the green revolution.

I have to admit my knowledge of eco-friendly fashion was limited. But with the daily research on the latest trends in eco-fashion, I gained vast knowledge on labor practices and sustainable materials used to make earth friendly merchandise. I also came to appreciate all the efforts designers and manufacturers do to help save mother earth one organic dress at a time.

Here are The Smart Stylist's Best Ecofashion of 2008:

Melissa 'Anglomania' Heart Heel $109.54 Browns Fashion
Melissa Shoes' reinvention of the classic Vivienne Westwood Heel is simply eco-fabulous and eco-chic. The pink anglomania slingback and heart shoe received a eco-friendly makeover. Paying homage to the original, Vivienne Westwood is printed on the shoe which is quite honorable. This pair definitely adds pizzazz to any look. You can wear it with skinny denim jeans, skirt or a dress. A fabulous focal piece to any ensemble.
Dillards Inc.
Ecofashion has deservingly found a niche in fashion, the green movement inspired designers, stylists and spawned what I fondly called 'ecofashionistas.' Any efforts big or small in saving our environment is important and crucial. TheSmartStylist.com will feature 'Smart EcoStyle', focusing on chic and trendy eco-friendly apparel, shoes and accessories to support the green movement.

This week's pick is no stranger to TheSmartStylist.com, Melissa shoes are one of the first few eco-friendly footwear that I came accross. This Brazilian company has been creating suatainable and reasonably priced footwear fashion for years. They stay true to their point of view and not compromising their vision. With simple and fun use of colors, Melissa has quite the following this days, and I'm one of them. 

This 'Happy Flat' ballet flats are just so cute and adorable. And one quality that Melissa is known for is comfort. The plastic material is made of 99.99% recyled waste materials and don't worry this flat won't give you blisters like other plastic shoes or sandals.
