The Missoni He Lives In
At the request of his friend Angela Missoni, director Pedro Almodóvar stepped in front of the lens for the new Missoni campaign, shot by Juergen Teller. He’s now reprising his role in a campaign video directed by Marco Maccapani. The video pays homage to the Spanish director’s own colorful, campy pop style—all the more so [...]
Missoni Flutters For Fall
It might pass on first look for an art-house music video, but the short debuting above is actually from Missoni’s Fall 2011 campaign. But then again, the label has a history of blurring the lines between art, music, and sound for their creative—this is a house that tapped legendary alt-filmmaker Kenneth Anger to make the [...]
Green Is Really Your Color
Earth Day has come and gone, but your commitment to the Earth has hopefully stuck around. In the spirit of do-gooding, here’s a gentle reminder that bids close tomorrow at noon (EST) on Christie’s Green silent auction.

When Chuck Met Angela
Is it just us? The zigzags may officially tie back to Missoni’s Fall men’s collection, but we think these new Angela Missoni-designed Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars are the perfect match for her Spring womenswear (left).

Angela, Angelena. Mrs. Missoni was in L.A. to toast the opening of her family’s new Rodeo Drive boutique, and—even without her luggage, which was lost in transit—she seemed right at home. “I always felt like Missoni was perfect for L.A. because it’s glamorous but relaxed,” the designer said. “Because it’s so sunny here, the store [...]
Blasblog: The Inside Line On The Venice Biennale
Venice may be known for piazzas full of fanny-pack-wearing tourists these days, but as Karl Lagerfeld reminded fashion fans last month when he put on Chanel’s Cruise collection there, the canal city was once a hot spot. It’s where Coco brought her lovers, where Cole Porter entertained legions of gay merrymakers, and starting tomorrow, it’s [...]
Designers De-Stress Close to Home
When the fashion week flurry dies down and designers can partake in some R&R, where do they head? While our first guess might involve Learjets and palm fronds, it seems that just getting out of town is the priority—no private plane necessary. We polled some of Milan’s leading ladies of design for their-post show detox [...]
Angela Missoni’s Buon Compleanno
“My feet hurt,” moaned Angela Missoni after a day that had seen her show her Fall collection twice, then be carted off to a surprise birthday party in honor of her recent 50th. The kids—Margherita, Francesco, and Teresa—got her out of the house by pretending the dinner she was hosting for the British press would [...]

At the post-show dinner in the family apartment last night—now a fashion week tradition in Milan—both women sported specs. They had their reasons: Margherita’s having laser surgery next [...]
