There is a fresh breath to the static presentation but live by Missoni. The style is more faithful than ever to the brand’s typical knitwear. Also because, focus on the cardigan, a piece loved by the founder of the maison Ottavio Missoni. In fact, it stands out in the collection The Cardigan, a selection of recycled wool pieces from previous productions, with motifs that rework archive themes. One for all, the Venetian Rialto bridge, from the unforgettable collection depicted by postcards of the Belpaese. A tribute to Italianness ahead of its time. The iconic patchwork of the signature of the put togheter? Now instead of patterns, it “puts together” different stitches of plain colored wool. Evocative, the external label of these pieces with vintage graphics. An invitation to collect them. After all, already in the 80s, the great journalist Adriana Mulassano observed, “when you unwrap a Missoni sweater, you can put it in a frame”. More than ever topical instead, the overlapping of two shirts that is very popular among the new generations: one lightly underneath; the other heavy on top to open at will, A softer and easier alternative to the jacket.
Giulio Turcafo’s art goes to knitting
Some fantasies are inspired by the informal abstract art of the 1940s by the artist Giulio Turcafo. This explains the cuts of shutters in the maison that “made them of all colors”, as Ottavio Missoni joked. But the big news is the capsule Mountain Calling: gallery with paintings of peaks and cold landscapes transferred to sweaters, sweatshirts and T-shirts. The same views that can be seen from the window of the Missoni house with a panoramic view of Monte Rosa.
