Born and raised in Los Angeles to a traditional Persian family, Melody Ehsani broke away from the law school mold to follow her real passion: design. And thankfully so, because she has blessed the fashion industry with some out-of-the-box goodness ever since.
Now, the beauty is the woman responsible for outfitting some of our favorite celebrities, from Rihanna to Keri Hilson and Amber Rose, in iconic individualized pieces ranging from the personalized acrylic knuckle rings to the much-replicated Queen of the Jungle necklace. But when Melody officially crossed over from high heels and oversized earrings to more athletic footwear, she was sure to bring her girly, yet edgy aesthetic along for the ride.
After a successful first release in collaboration with Reebok, the brand tapped the designer once again to build a pair of sneakers that encompassed glam, girl power and all around stylishness, and so the Reebok Classic x Melody Ehsani Love shoes were born, and what is a release without a stellar party to boot?
GlobalGrind’s Courtney Jones was on the scene at Melody Ehsani’s Los Angeles store for the official launch of the shoe and a night that was complete with a special DJ set and performance by the one and only Doug E. Fresh, and complimentary nail treatments on site. What more could a hip-pop style-loving girl want?
