MFW: Missoni Fall Winter 2018.19 Collection
On a glossy runway floor, Angela Missoni presented an eye-catching, globe trotting, folk gathering of a collection that was a tremendous mixture of pleasure and detail. Of course, you could argue that the knits are all familiar, long scarves, oversized sweaters and long knit dresses with non-defined ethnic weaves and everything you can think of coming from 1960’s and 1970’s. Then go back to a sentiment of an escapade into nostalgia, which very few fashion houses can do as well as Missoni!
After the show, Missoni team shared: “Fashion that fuses scrutiny with refinement, imbuing the idea of knitwear with increasingly bold innovations that are exclusive and unexpected. Expressed in an open and free mix-and-match of textural consistencies, forms and finishes. Trousers that are loose-fitting or flared in knitted patchworks, jackets in masculine cuts and shirt-jackets in wool mohair tartans or checks, mesh knit shirts with vertical stripes and cinched ties at the wrist, buttoned necklines and finishes that are underlined and decorated with two-toned knitted ribbons.”
