Marc Jacobs and Melissa, the fashion footwear firm, have collaborated on a special collection of lightweight sustainable footwear. The collection consists of three styles inspired by the color palette of the Marc Jacobs ready-to-wear collection.
The Clog, “Becky” platform sandal and The Slide feature the signature Marc Jacobs monogram print throughout.
Accompanying the collection is an ad campaign featuring model Iris Law, who wears looks from the Marc Jacobs pre-fall 2023 collection, along with the Melissa x Marc Jacobs footwear. The campaign was photographed in New York by Valentin Herfray and styled by Sydney Rose Thomas.
