The Michael Bastian for Havaianas unisex collection launches in specialty stores and online today and, besides the fact that this seems like an unlikely collaboration—after all, Bastian's signature men's line is super-luxury, super-exclusive, and super-expensive—we're really excited about it because the flip-flops are unisex and, well, we pretty much think Bastian is the bee's knees. He's, like, one of the nicest people in the fashion industry and he has perfect taste. Plus, his clothes are gorgeous.

“I’ve always been a big admirer of Havaianas," Bastian said in a statement. "They’ve become a global brand by focusing on one thing, but doing it simply and perfectly. It’s a real honor and incredibly fun to have this chance to work together.”

The flip-flops in the Michael Bastian for Havaianas collection are priced at $38 and feature deep-sea and diver-theme graphics.
