The Missoni brand has reached it’s peak this year! Fans were recently shocked and horrified by the complete Sell Out of Missoni for Target and now that their latest collection has just debuted in Milan, the brand has really left fashionistas speechless (and obviously, many empty handed).
Missoni’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection stunned us all on September 25th in Milan, Italy as we watched models sashay down the runway in dresses, tops and skirts – styled very differently than former Missoni collections. Nevertheless, I think people will go just as bananas for this spring collection as they did digging through the Target rack for anything – and I mean anything – with that colorful, iconic zig-zag print. Don’t you just love the madness!
Angela Missoni, mother of Margherita, described this collection as “floaty and fun with ruffles, fringes, flowers perfect for dancing”. The dresses are just that, superb for hot summer nights twisting and turning, dipping and spinning, whatever that may lead to…and then maybe doing a little cha-cha, if you so feel. I mean, how could you not when TASSELS and FRINGE are cascading down your dress?
Many stars attended this event, along side of what seems to be the entire Missoni family. All decked out in none other than Missoni! The queen of all things fashion herself, Anna Wintour, was seen sitting front row center alongside blogger Chiara Ferragni, model Alessia di Livio, and the stunning “fashion maniac” Anna Dello Russo.
What do you think of this collection from Missoni? Do you like the riskier approach they have taken this time, which just so happens to be an array of prints and fringe galore? Or, do you prefer the basics and think the brand should stick to their classic, refined, and timeless pieces? Tweet me your answers @livinggoldie, or leave a comment below!
