We’ve been following Emma Gage’s Melke fashion journey over the last few seasons and their current NYFW collection is their strongest. This collection stands out for its leaps of growth. The Melke DNA is definitely there within the over-sized bows, fringe placement and appliqué - and we love it. We’re also seeing a collection that is elevated in design, structure and polish.

Melke's NYFW autumn / winter 2024 collection, entitled The Heist, takes a look into the beloved claymation series Wallace and Gromit. Leaning into Melke's carefree joy and childlike wonder, The Heist is inspired by the mischievous adventures that Wallace and Gromit often find themselves in.

From traveling to the moon for cheese, stealing a diamond, and fighting a gigantic Were-Rabbit, it seems this duo has done it all. Yet at the end of the day, they always return to the comforts of home for a hot cup of tea and a delectable slice of cheese. But wait! It seems there is some thievery afoot!
