Missoni Pre-Fall 2012

Christina Perez — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 13:23:17 PST

>> Six months from now when the next transitional items start rolling into stores, there'll be plenty of super-cozy looks on offer from Missoni. Cold-weather layering - in the form of oversized outerwear, body-con dresses, and belted waistlines - was the message, and it came in the form of jumbo coats, boxy fur-trimmed vests, and maxi-length jackets, with plenty of space-dyed turtlenecks and graphic-knit minidresses to wear under them.

fashionologie — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 10:17:34 PDT

>> Missoni's 400-piece Target range spans clothing for men, women, and children; home accessories; footwear; luggage; and more - and the lookbook is finally available for preview, just over a month before the offering hits Target stores and online Sept. 13. “We really wanted to reach a large audience,” Angela Missoni said of the partnership, which she hopes will expand the Missoni image in the US and promote the brand as young and fresh. “As Missoni, we have a big name but we are not a huge company, so there’s not much product around.”

Margherita to Become Missoni Creative Director Within Two Years?

fashionologie — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:30:37 PDT

>> Alongside acting as brand ambassador, Margherita Missoni recently stepped up her Missoni duties as accessories designer of the brand and debuted her first Missoni handbag collection back in May.

Shortly, it sounds like she could be taken on an even bigger role; her mother Angela says she is considering stepping down as Missoni creative director within the next two years: "I was on a bus yesterday and I thought for the first time there are so many things I want to do with my life and whenever Margherita feels ready I'd let her take over. Who knows what the future will bring? Maybe Theresa will run things or perhaps my nephew or my son. Margherita has this incredible passion for the business and for fashion though - she would be excellent."

coutorture — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 10:18:10 PDT

Angela Missoni pumped up the color with her latest cruise collection, mixing graphic combinations of bright yellow, red, orange, green and purple with jolts of black to create distinctive tribal prints. Her fabric treatment may have been rooted in African motifs, but silhouettes were altogether taken from the '60s-with mini shifts and long halter dresses paired with armfuls of bangles, hoop earrings and head scarves.

It's A Family Reunion For Missoni's Spring Advertising Campaign

coutorture — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 08:31:38 PST

Fiscal responsibility might have been the impetus for Angela Missoni's decision to feature photographs of a real-life family dinner as the house's spring advertising campaign, but the outcome looks anything but low budget. We love seeing the whole Missoni-clad clan gathered around the dinner table and lounging on a zigzag print sofa. Photographed by Juergen Teller at the family home in Sumirago, Italy, the images feature three generations of Missonis and will break in February fashion titles this month.
