Missoni Womenswear S/S11

Angela Missoni’s collection bursted with geometrical patterns that the Italian knitwear label is renowned for. Combining ethnic and street inspiration, delicate knits came embellished with colourful appliques, beaded fringes and of course, Missoni’s classic zigzag patterns. Shades of neon orange, blue and green dominated the collection, with square-shaped floppy hats and platforms adding a playful touch to the otherwise relaxed silhouette. The graphic look was enhanced even more by rectangular necklines and the use of black chiffon, which – when worn underneath an A-line dress – added up to the illusion of light and shadow.
