MISSONI - Tapa dura

The Missoni husband and wife team founded their company in 1953 and have done much to elevate the status of knitwear in fashion. Their designs incorporate bold patterns and blended colours in their signature long-length cardigans and jackets. This volume presents a memoir of their work. The "Made in Italy" series is dedicated to the key figures in Italian fashion. The main section of each book traces the concepts and characteristics of a particular designer's work in both text and photographs. Interviews with members of staff, comments by style-setters such as Anna Wintour and Diana Vreeland, a chronology and a list of international boutique addresses, complete the guide.
