Shoes from Minna Parikka

We are so proud to announce that for the first time in history you can now buy fabulous shoes from Minna Parikka in a store in Norway. And where can you buy it? Here at the Cecilie Melli shop off course!

Minna Parikka herself

Minna’s love of footwear is based on the fact that shoes – unlike clothes – don’t have to be inhabited by a body in order to look attractive. But while they’re beautiful alone, it’s when a woman steps into a pair that the magic really happens. The right shoes can change how she looks, feels and is seen by others. And as objects of desire for women and men, they’re not just symbols of power but its Holy Grail.

Her work has been featured in international publications, such as Vogue, Vogue Pelle, Elle, Marie Claire, Grazia, Glamour, Collezioni, Tatler, Harper’s Bazaar, WAD, French and Sleek, just to name a few. She even has her very own first class postage stamp in Finland and three pages in SCARPE!, a book of shoes by Rizzoli.

"My designs are almost like love letters from one high heel shoe lover to another. Allow yourself to be playful and let a pair lead you to new adventures. Life is too short to take style too seriously."

—Minna Parikka

Here in our store we have the "MINNA PARIKKA S/S 2012 COLLECTION “HEARTBEATS”.  The collection reflects Minna   Parikka’s heart beats for tropical acid tones, melting ice cream, wings that take you high to the bright blue sky and heart decorations perfect for holiday romances and the electric nights.

Gave og interiør-messa på Lillestrøm

Vi er på gavemessa på Lillestrøm om dagen. Her skal vi være fra i dag og ut søndag. Det vi håper på nå er å få flere forhandlere av både accessoirer, kjoler og cashmir. Vi har mottat kjoler fra vår produsent i Hong Kong og de er så fine at når jeg ser på dem føles det som jeg har laget dem selv!

Se det pene stativet med silkekjoler. Det er nå også mulighet for butikker andre enn min egen å selge Cecilie Melli kjoler. Så nøl ikke med å komme innom meg på gavemessa eller ta kontakt med butikken om du er interessert. 

Her før standen vår ble ferdig. Vi gjør jo alt selv så her er det Kirsti som kryper rundt på gulvet.

Nydelige draperinger...

...og volanger

og et hav av blomsterøredobber

Her er cashmirstrikken som jeg også er veldig fornøyd med. Kjolesesongens vinner bør bli denne boleroen som ma kan få i flere farger som passer til julekjolen.

English: I'm at a trade fair at Lillestrøm, Norway. Waiting for retail customers for my beautifully manufactured dresses, cashmere knits and accessories. So come on over!

After a good wait it was on. 'Mardou and Dean' was showing jeans, dresses and shoes

I loved the coulourful front row, and the collection off course. We were very excited about the leather jackets and the white summer dresses. Kirsti and I planned for a field trip to their shop any time soon. To try on the fabulous jeans(buy them too) and the cool leather jackets. Me want!!

And see how happy we are:) We are professional party goers so I came straight from a heavy work-out, shower and home made dinner for my kids. Drove my car to the party so no drinks for us and then straight back home for a good nights sleep to get up bright and shining for a lot of exciting work today. Today I have dates with several stars who needs to be dressed for premiers, tv shows, red carpets and music videos. Again, I love my job!!

A little too much?
