MFW: Missoni Fall/ Winter 2010/ 2011

The collection Angela Missoni presented during Milan Fashion Week for Autumn/ Winter 2010/ 2011 was all about knitwear, Missoni family heritage. It was grandiose and super-warm, perfect for winter cold. Missoni is one of those brands that really make clothes suitable for cold weather.

The show had some kind of universal tribal spirit. It included items inspired by Celtic, Masai, punks’ cultures. Pieces looked beautiful and comfortable. Blanket coats looked funny though.
Lots of simple knitwear skirts with quite ordinary prints looked good in combination with elaborate flower-patterned scarves and long voluminous capes. Warm shorts were matched to woolen tights but at the same time bellies would left exposed.

I like the trousers in herring-bone pattern with side pockets that even had creases like on classic pants. However, lingerie that was used widely in the collection as outwear wasn’t the best idea. Actually it was good only for catwalk and there would hardly be anyone willing to wear all these pieces together.

Shoes didn’t seem to be flatteing but bags looked pretty as did sunglasses.
