Imaginative. Aesthetic. Alternative. Luxury. Miista.

The world of Miista first caught our attention with their shoes. Each pair has an architectural component paired with a surrealist accent. Their take on classic shoes – from the kitten heel to the ballet flat to the boot – are imaginative, bold, and make you look twice. And when you find a shoe that makes you look twice, you compile it into your mental list of favorites.

In addition to shoes that perk up the dreamer within, Miista’s clothing complete the ethos with minimalistic pieces that have a flair of boldness. You can wear their Gimenez Burgundy Dress and their Mica Black Sandals and you have that mini-dress plus strappy sandal look that is classic and all over the internet…and yet, this outfit has a different edge. An it-girl factor. A je ne sais quoi meets punk rock moment.

And on top of all of this – on top of their fearless point-of-view – is luxury without the carbon footprint. Miista products are made slowly, designed in London, use the highest quality of materials, and aren’t designed to ruin the planet.

For the luxury customer who loves the alternative, a strong point-of-view, and a little risk taking but also is conscious about her carbon footprint, Miista is the brand for you.

“BUYING STUFF IS SEXY. RUINING THE PLANET WHILE YOU DO IT ISN’T. FROM OUR STUDIO IN BETHNAL GREEN, WE’RE SIDE EYING THE FASHION INDUSTRY WHILE KIND OF LOVING IT TOO. SO, WHILE WE CRITIQUE BUT J’ADORE THE NON-STOP WORLD OF FASHION FOR FASHION’S SAKE, WE DO THINGS LIKE TAKE ON OUR OWN CLOTHING FACTORY (SO 1970S, WE KNOW), INVEST IN TRAINING FOR A CLOSE KNIT GROUP OF ARTISANS, AND WORK WITH THE BEST CREATIVES IN THE BUSINESS. MIISTA UPENDS THE EXCLUSIONARY PRACTICES OF THE FASHION INDUSTRY IN AN EFFORT TO SHOW HOW WE’RE LIVING NOW. OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS WE ARE PROUD TO HAVE BUILT A BRAND THROUGH CRAFT, OUR COMMUNITY, THE RISKS WE’VE TAKEN AND A WILLINGNESS TO LAUGH AT OURSELVES, HAS MADE A COMMITMENT TO THE ALTERNATIVE. A DEDICATION TO THE OPPOSITE THING. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? THAT WE’RE HAPPY TO SACRIFICE PROFIT AND TO SUBVERT PROBLEMATIC FASHION TRENDS TO CREATE A PRODUCT THAT HAS PERSONALITY IN ADDITION TO AESTHETIC VALUE. YOU KNOW WHEN IT’S A MIISTA.” – miista.com
