In line with the trend that TOMS’ has set, other shoe companies have also decided to jump on the bandwagon of joining social causes. After Crocs began their “Crocs Cares” campaign where 2.5 million pairs of shoes are donated to countries in need, Melissa’s M:Zero, an eco-friendly brand, has recently launched a small line of men’s loafers and oxfords made from 100% recycled plastic. The collection will include several different colors ranging from vibrant hues to more neutral grays and tans.
The shoes made of pvc appear to be a bit too plastic-y, not to mention uncomfortable, similar to gardening shoes. I’m in love, however, with the charcoal suede oxford lace-ups. The shoes actually look like suede thanks to the designer’s innovative flocking technology.
Perhaps the company should look at two-toned designs and embellished surfaces.
And what with oxford’s shoes being in fashion for women right now, I’d love to get my hands on a pair tomorrow. I can definitely see it catching on. It’s an excellent way for you fashion trendsetters out there to make a statement and show that you care about the environment. Put your best foot forward!content information: http://www.wwd.com/fashion-blogs/melissas_mzero_sets_up_shop_at-11-03/
