Missoni
MILAN, October 2, 2001

With fashion designers turning to the hippie-dippy '60s and '70s for inspiration, Missoni's bold contrasting prints are enjoying a moment in the sun.Missoni put a decadent, luxurious spin on folksy romanticism. Handkerchief tops were printed to resemble tie-dye treatments; Native American-inspired embellishments adorned jacket sleeves, carrier bags and the back of a raw tab-collar coat. A fluorescent acrylic palette of yellow and cobalt blue referenced early Bob Dylan style, as did the shredded-patchwork and loom-net skirts, shawl tops and butterfly trousers.
Missoni's eveningwear dazzled with metallic, optic swirl dresses sporting fringed hems. Baby-doll frocks, silver beaded tops and extrawide copper trousers will all look great with high-heeled espadrilles—the footwear of choice for Missoni bohemians.
