Missoni: Olympic Games

Missoni is one of those brands that any man can wear at ease. It might be the family heritage of the fashion house that makes the clothes stand still in fashion. This season Angela Missoni was influenced by the Olympic Games that will be taking place next summer; the time the collection will hit stores. The wind breakers, low cut trousers, knee length short and athletic shoes gave the feeling of the Olympic Games. There was a lack of the traditional zig zags and swirls in the clothes that we are accustomed to but we did see them in the summer sandals and layered cardigans. One aspect missing from this collection were the accessories, there didn’t seem to be any aside from the shoes.

The models looked lean and athletic, more than the usual hunks that walk the menswear shows. They looked leaner, as what an Olympian should look like. The color combination transformed from navy blue blazers to neutral tones in the sweaters and trousers as the show progressed, giving a wide range of looks for any man to wear. I have always been a big fan of the Missoni fashion house, and now with the upcoming collaboration with American store Target I’m eager to see what they will deliver to the American public.

Missoni: Zig Zag World

Who doesn’t love a collection that fills the room with just color, the latest Missoni Resort 2012 collection brought us to a very zig zag filled world. The background of the presentation was very busy and took away from the clothes but looking beyond that this Missoni collection takes us to a very psychedelic time in history. Paying tribute to what they are known for with vibrant colors and swirls that will make fashion goers go nuts for. The collection featured many head pieces which seem a must among the resort collections; turbans, headbands, and blue hats. Another must have item are the wedges which will be a for sure hit, with zig zag platforms and swirl designs. The collection was interesting, I still have some mixed feelings towards it but overall there are some great pieces in there that will grab many buyers attention.

Missoni For Everyone!

For those who know me I'm not the biggest fan of Target but after their announcement via twiter of the collaboration with Italian fashion house Missoni my excitement is off the roof. Sadly the collection won’t be in stores until September but the excitement is still there after they announced 400+ items will be featured, including apparel, accessories, linens and even home furnishing. In an interview with Vogue, Missoni creative director Angela Missoni shares her thrill with the collaboration, “It’s been a fantastic experience, one we are eager to share with families across the United States.” Missoni being a traditional family fashion house, Americans will be thrilled to have a piece of tradition with the Missoni brand at an affordable price tag. So get ready Missoni lovers for their signature zig zags and swirls to hit Target very soon! Save your pennies!

Paparazzi caught a glimpse of the campaign featuring Margherita Maccapani Missoni who is the accessory designer of the family brand and the oldest grandchild of the founders.
