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.

Available in Green and Orange, $310 at Heart and Soul Boutique.
 
 
"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."
 
Rosita Missoni for the New York Post
 
 
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.
