MISSONI

Angela Missoni discovered American textile artist Rachel Hayes — the creator of the prismatic Blowing in the Wind installation that took over Missoni’s Via Solferino showroom (above) — on Instagram. “It was the first time I had the courage to contact someone I didn’t know on social media,” says Missoni (above). “This work is about the shadows, the diffusion of light and the beauty of reflections.” Hayes’ art echoes Missoni’s signature colour-fuelled aesthetic, and her pieces have graced the brand’s catwalk, its Madison Avenue flagship store in New York and star in its spring/summer 2018 ad campaign.
