MISSONI RYHMES WITH LEONIE.

While i have been in Paris this week, Vanessa and Annie flew to Milan for the Missoni fall show as she consults for them. I'm a little bit proud to have been involved with this and the show got rave reviews so clap clap for V cause she's done herself proud with this one. I watched online from the office and knowing how much hard-work has gone into the whole thing, felt like i was watching it with an insiders eye, the inspirations i'd researched staring straight at me from the runway. The fire, the flames of everything we'd worked hard preparing for Vanessa and ultimately for Missoni was red hot and alive, racking up some rave reviews too.




The show itself was rooted in an emotional italian, almost tribal, family spirit. Very Missoni and each piece was somehow stamped cleverly with the 'Made in Italy' marque. If you look behind the layers of clothes, you'll see the inspiration of the Celts, the Masai, punks, the kids at Burning Man all stitched into the souls of the seams. Almost everything sent down the runway had the potential to be something else too. Crop tops that were shown zipped open up the back were actually the wrong way round but it it all made perfect sense by the way Vanessa had styled it. I fancied myself one of the slouchy blanket coats but my rainy day money pot can't stretch to that just yet.
