    MISSONI’S FALL/WINTER 2019

    August 14, 2019 - By 

    Missoni, the Italian brand, are not just fashion designers. No, they are really more like dream weavers. As they spin, and dye and weave their own special patterns in their factory in Italy it is at once clear to see that each fiber is telling a story in their very unique kaleidoscope of color way. It’s bold and unconventional, with more than a nod to the 70’s hippie ethos. This season they have once again paired up with Mert & Marcus under the creative direction of Angela Missoni, to shoot the Winter 2019 campaign in Cappadocia, against the surreal volcanic…

    FASHION: DELVAUX IN NYC

    March 26, 2019 - By

They are an Official Purveyor to the Royal Court of Belgium in the category of Fashion and Clothing, a title they have kept since 1883.
