Reef diving

MANILA, Philippines - Seascapes and marine wildlife have provided plenty of fodder lately, populating Prada’s fish-laden spring-summer 2009 collection, lending itself to Kenneth Jay Lane’s octopus accessories and, most recently, serving as inspiration for plastic footwear label Melissa’s coral flats. Available in orange, red, black, teal and transparent plastic, the shoes (P2,895) are a playful homage to the charming, colorful world under the sea.

The coral flats by Melissa are available at store.melissaphilippines.com, in Culte Femme at Rustan’s Makati, Shangri-La, Alabang, Anthem at Rockwell and Mix at Greenbelt 5. — Bea Ledesma
