Maybe it’s the open air, the laid-back atmosphere or the fact that I particularly appreciate this maison…but the Spring 2011 Missoni show was characteristically amusing, vivacious and vibrant. Perfect color pairings, perfect silhouettes, perfect styling… and great music too, thanks to Steve Mackey, the show’s sound director.

Always so elegant, so clear and pure, Ferragamo was a lesson in efficiency—both in terms of cut and fit. Dominated by warm hues, the new collection was less colorful than others, but at the same time the outfits were unpretentious and easy to wear. I, personally, loved the idea of revealing a little midriff by wearing short tops layered with different shapes and textures.

The environment at Missoni is always enchanting, adaptable to different types of entertainment, and this time the inner room was so crowded that the parade continued in the adjacent arcade. Wool capes and multiple perforated, colored patterns, rich textures and textiles (naive crochet, plaids and tartans) were met by bare backs and flashes of skin. Nuances of cashmere, alpaca or camel hair mixed with vibrant loomed patchwork and a lot of blue. Corsets and vests, fur, caps and boxer shorts were accessorized with geometric, mirrored sunglasses and ribbed zipped collars. Full of variety, mixing and matching, it was unmistakable Missoni style.

“Fashion is moving too fast,” was designer Angela Missoni’s explanation for a happy and positive show with an impalpable, serene heart.

Fusing Ibizia ravers with sophisticated dancers, she presented long, narrow shoulder pouches, small woven baskets and knitted leather rucksacks accessorized by kitten heeled sandals and souvenir ankle bracelets. The slim silhouettes were pure charm and poetry, recalling the sky’s hues, iridescent seashells and mermaid scales—made all the more enchanting by the sunshine-filled setting: the picturesque Missoni garden.
