Missoni Scarves and Resort Wear 2013: Iconic Italian Style Classics

Ad Campaign Missoni:  Kate Moss

 

Italian label, Missoni made it's name with boldly colorful, kaleidoscopic, zig-zag knitwear. 

The label based in Varese, Italy, was founded by successful husband-and-wife team, Ottavio 'Tai' and Rosita Missoni in 1953.  Missoni is one of the world's best-known and loved fashion names - a true icon of Italian fashion.

"Our philosophy since we went into business has been that a piece of clothing should be like a work of art. It should not be bought for a special occasion... but because a woman likes it... and feels she could wear it forever."

Beautiful, glamorous and unique, the bohemian scarves are worn by Demi Moore, Nicole Richie, Cameron Diaz, Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Lopez, to mention but a few.

Ottavio and Rosita's three children all joined the family business.  Tragically the eldest son, Vittorio, (Marketing Director) dissapeared in a plane crash, January 2013. Founder, Ottavio Missoni died months later on 1 May 2013, after celebrating his 60th wedding Anniversary.

Rosita's daughter, Angela has been Creative Director, since 1998, opening flagships in New York and Paris and extending her parents original vision to encompass Missoni designs for an entire lifestyle.

 

The latest venture....Missoni's iconic contemporary design for Luxury Group, Missoni Hotel in Edinburgh, Oman, Brazil, and Turkey opening in 2013.

The Heart and Soul woman is effortlessly elegant, chic and well-traveled. Think Rock 'n' Roll Bohemian glamour, blended with vintage and perhaps at times, edgy.

Working as a former model and economist and deeply inspired by travel, cultures and people, I have developed a keen eye for unique design, superior fabrics, intricate adornments and lavish details. 

 

 

 

A portion of proceeds from our 'Lemons to Lemonade' sale (following the burglary last week), were donated to The Shelter for Abused Women and Children in Naples, and I wanted to say a huge thank-you!
