Sunday February 28th, 2010 – via Festa del Perdono, 7 – Milano
For its Fall Winter 2010 collection, Missoni showed its ability to make clothing that is as vibrant in motion as it is striking at standstill, with its body-embracing primeval-themed knitwear. With cutouts here and there, exposing the skin in just the right places, it was enough to give a sexy, sensual silhouette.
Missoni explored the natural and multicultural appeal of women, presenting them as fierce Masai Warriors. To accent this warrior’s theme, metallic pieces were added to the knitwear, mixed with marmot fur for a more tribal effect.
We were transported to the highlands of Peru and the plains of Africa but never left 21st century modernity. Capes were worn as shields, made of luxurious fabrics, cashmere, alpaca and camel hair. The kilts remind us of Scotland but were made all the more unique by their Samurai skirt structure.
Even knitwear socks made a sensational impact, leaving us wondering why we don’t already own a pair of Missoni chausettes. These often-forgotten undergarments were used prominently as the de-facto way to liven up even the most mundane pair of high heels.
Missoni also introduced a new line of sunglasses which were vibrant in color with geometric shapes and mirrored lenses, perfectly completing the ethnic-mosaic silhouette.
