Los Angeles designer Melody Ehsani has announced her final collaboration with Reebok and it is a glorious one.
Ehsani weighed in on the designs and said she wanted to create items she wanted to see in her closet. “ME and Reebok have had a great run!” she wrote in a press release. “In this final collection, I designed these pieces because I wanted to own them, and I really wanted to may my own leopard print and my own colorways and all the usual that you’ve come to know me for.”
The photoshoot features Shelby and Ryanne, two women who met in Perry Middle School and have been best friends sinced 2001. Ehsani explained she tapped them to pay tribute to the importance of true friends.
“Their friendship has that old school quality about it that really inspired me,” wrote Ehsani. “It took me back in time when my best friend and I would rehearse new dance moves in the mirror in my bedroom so we could stunt at school the next day.
“It inspired me so much that it made me go all the way back in time and took inventory of all the moments in life where I had and currently have that best friend that I can totally be my whole self around. So, I dedicate this collection to all the BFFs out there.
“Thank you to mine who talk me off the ledge, who remind me who I am when I forget, who pray for me, who I can act a fool with, who I can cry in front of, who tell me when I have a piece of spinach in my tooth while I’m talking to the guy I’m crushing on. I love you. You’re priceless.”
The collection will release on December 1, 2017 at 12:00 AM PST on melodyehsani.com.
