Missoni Spring/Summer 2017

How to keep things fresh at a family-run biz? Keeping it simple and pure is just the ticket. In Angela Missoni’s Spring ’17 collection, that inspo came by way of a kaleidoscope of color, and color-blocking in tangerine, bright blue, gold, blush, and more, which cropped up in stripes and layers, and more solids than customary. While there was still plenty of Missoni’s signature patterns, this was certainly a pared down collection for a house famous for its complicated knits and zig-zag effects. But it’s the ultra-mini knit dresses and tiny bikinis that have this body-con, jet-set clientele coming back for more. Missoni may be a knitwear brand, but summer has increasingly become this luxury brand’s strong suit.
