Missoni
Italian, established 1947
The Label
This Italian knitwear company, rich in tradition, had its start in 1947 when Ottavio Missoni designed his first tracksuit. The label evolved to include dresses, but it wasn't until 1958 that the name "Missoni" was sewn into the label.
The Look
The easily identifiable, classic zigzag-pattern in the boldest, richest hues. Also look for vibrant eye-catching prints.
The Designer
Keeping it in the family, Angela Missoni is the force currently behind the label. The designs are still influenced by a sense of tradition, but Angela seems willing to take sexier, more risqué chances by expanding her choice of fabric and cuts.
Who Wears It
Demi Moore, Cameron Diaz, Sharon Stone, Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie, Debra Messing, and Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen.
