MISSONI KNITS

-

Not long after marrying in 1953, Rosita and Ottavio Missoni opened a workshop in Gallarate, Italy, and soon created their first line of knitwear. From the start, it stood out for its bold patterns. “Who says a rainbow has seven colours?” quipped the legendary fashion editor Diana Vreeland upon seeing their pieces. “It has many shades.” Missoni’s vibrancy hasn’t dimmed a bit in the intervenin­g years. To celebrate the label’s 65th anniversar­y this year, Angela Missoni, the couple’s daughter and Missoni’s creative director, went all out with a kaleidosco­pic mix of textures and hues.

Missoni jacket, $4,945, dress, $4,350, top, $865, long-sleeve top, $1,025, hat, $585, scarf, $900, necklace, $1,060, and bracelet, $1,060.
