Melissa Flox M

November 03, 2020

Melissa, the Brazilian footwear and accessories brand from the Grendene group, launches a sandal made from 100% recycled material. With the brand already producing garments that are made with 30% recycled materials, this sandal made from 100% recycled material is a first for the company.

The Flox M Edition is constructed from shoes that were previously discarded by consumers. This new product also bolsters the three main pillars of sustainability within the brand: welcoming shoes, education on sustainability and diversity. In October of last year, more than 300 Melissa stores were stripped of their merchandise. This turn of events helped to create the “drop-off point” idea for customers, which helped them dispose of Melissa shoes that were unable to be used, reused, or exchanged.

This gender-neutral sandal is available in an exclusive colorway and has limited availability. They’re now available on shopmelissa.com.

C.P. Company x Manchester City

This makes Manchester City F.C’s new collaboration with C.P. Company even more fitting. Manchester knows its outerwear, and City’s team and staff will be outfitted in full C.P. Company gear for their upcoming Champions League campaign. The range features the perfect rainy-day colors of both C.P. Company (navy blue) and Manchester City (light blue), including the highly coveted ‘Goggle’ jacket. This iconic piece has a unique presence on the terraces, and C.P. Company has long been at the forefront of football fandom and match-day fits. In fact, this collaboration brings C.P. Company’s authentic football journey full circle. In the 80s, English football fans traveled to Europe to support their teams and returned home with hard-to-find gear.

Brands like C.P. Company gained a devoted following that has remained steadfast ever since, and with this new collaboration, that support will only grow & grow. Watch the full video here.

Charles Jeffrey LOVERBOY FW24

July 19, 2024

Something strange was happening. Clothes were moving, wriggling, and even making sounds. Bags grew tongues, boots sprouted legs, and hats developed ears. All the items started bearing labels that read ‘Charles Jeffrey LOVERBOY,’ accompanied by a whimsical monster. These peculiar phenomena were detailed in scraps of paper sent by an unknown 18-year-old named Magnus McPewitt.

The tale begins in 1979 when a meteor flashed over the lost Scottish village of Moshkirk, isolating its inhabitants and freezing their fashion in time. In the backdrop of Thatcher's austere Britain, Moshkirk became a time capsule, shielding its community from the outside world's realities. Villagers thrived in this limbo, embracing punk, dancehall, disco, new wave, and post-punk, untouched by the economic turmoil that plagued the rest of the UK.

Fast forward to 2024, Charles Jeffrey LOVERBOY's F/W 2024 collection draws parallels between Moshkirk's resililence and today's challenges. Amid economic crises, and social upheaval, creativity often flourishes, and FW24 embodies that spirit — an ode to Moshkirk, Scotland and the rebellious subcultures that persist. Drawing inspiration from the whimsical Booness Monster — the heart-stealing serpent that stalks the cold waters near the mythical village of Moshkirk — the collection blends the magical with the absurd, celebrating the brand's playful essence while staying firmly rooted in reality.

The campaign features a punkish Moshkirk beat scored by Charles Jeffrey’s band, transporting listeners back to 1979 with its joyful, clubland aesthetic. The accompanying music video is a visual feast of playful madness: a crocodile drummer, a magical red suit with eyes, and banana peel shoulders. Celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2024, Charles Jeffrey LOVERBOY views AW24 not just as a collection but as a precursor to future endeavors. "It’s joy, it’s color, it’s Scottish magic, it’s playfulness."

The collection features silky black jacquard monogram suits with oversized safety pins, zebra print boots, anarchic yellow zip-up tops, cherry red double-breasted coats, and ethical knitwear adorned with monstrous elements; Charles Jeffrey LOVERBOY’s unique tartan, traditional Argyle, and post-punk aesthetics are woven throughout.
