They have launched a new website since then, so unfortunately I do not have the original inspirational text that first drew me to the brand. However, their current 'About Me' still captures the wacky and fun spirit of the brand!
MEASURED MADNESS
Miista is a fashion forward footwear brand based in Hackney, London.
As a curator of styles, Miista brings together seemingly opposites. Miista deliberately juxtaposes elements that would be at war without creative expertise. Miista is always searching for an elegant balance in the unusual.
MIISTA IS:
Independent – against uniformity and imitation
Irreverent – breaking the rules without causing a riot
Curious – always looking…
THE MIISTA STYLE
In a world that has become cluttered with similarities, carbon copies and conventional styles, Miista brings an uncommon beauty to the street.
Full-bodied – robust and bold features
Crafted – thoughtful and with unexpected details
Elegance – for headstrong women

I bought my first pair in 2013: the Siri Agate Satin Heel in ROSE. The heels remind me of an intergalactic universe, a pink and magical world of stars and mysticism out in space. The heels are incredible pieces of art- clear angled lucite blocks with slices of color in them.
EEight Nelly Ankle Boots: the stars really got me here. Embracing the space theme!
The Miista SS16 Collection is currently out. From their blog: "Entitled, 'AZUL,' meaning 'The Colour Blue' in Spanish, the collection is a combination of electric nights out and faded sunrises. The theme of the collection takes inspiration from summer nights and gathering memories with friends. Using complimentary colours and accents in sky-like hues, the collection emulates Miista's winning characteristic of combining two opposite elements. The materials feature reflective prints and soft, yet strong leathers. Miista's most experimental collection to date, it's true measured madness. "
It is the meaning behind Miista's collections that make me fall in love with their shoes. The above description is absolutely amazing and makes me reminisce over travel in Spanish-speaking countries, with their love for color, and the beautiful sunsets and wonderful friends I have made throughout my journeys.
Two pairs in this new collection that I am eyeing are the Vivienne heels in Navy Orange White, and the Botega Blue Reflective sandals.
