Artistic collaborations are a pretty sweet thing. Matthew Barney and Björk, Andy Warhol and Lou Reed... Starbucks and Sonic Youth.

'Anglomania' is the love child of one such collaboration, between the queen of punk, Ms Vivienne Westwood, and the cult of Brazilian footwear, Melissa - also the brains behind the original jelly sandal invented in '79. (Remember those hot-pink jellies you bought when you were 16 because Charlene Mitchell had a pair and even though they were the shoe equivalent of a greenhouse they made your feet look bitchin'?)

This limited-edition collection features two designs: a re-creation of the classic Westwood Mary-Jane, made of patented PVC, and the ever-popular ‘ultragirl' slip on, made of either velvet or PVC with a signature Westwood tartan or rose print on the insole. Packed full of punk 'tude with a bubble gum vibe, you won't be sure whether to kick someone or chew on them. Fashion ponies get set: ‘Anglomania' lands on the shores of OZ this week. It'll be 1974 all over again.
