The Melissa + Jason Wu Ultra Girl design is inspired by Miss Wu, the designer's iconic wide-eye owl logo, while the Melissa + Jason Wu Lady Dragon style is inspired by his autumn/winter 2011 collection referencing Versailles.
The range launched yesterday at the footwear retailer's Sao Paulo flagship, which was redecorated to reflect the shoe's romantic embroidery detail on the sole.
