Grunge be gone











Missoni's Resort collection for 2012 pays homage to the 1920's, embracing the softer silhouette and incorporating natural elements reminiscent of the sea that make me want to book my flight to the coast right this second. Highlights of the show included a stunning dramatic violet gown that had a sheer skirt loaded with conch shells, sequins, and puckered chiffon resembling coral reef. Another striking dress had a tie-dye effect and was trimmed with padded strips of braided silk. Other looks were more straightforward. The signature space-dyed raschel knit technique showed up everywhere, but was coolest this time around on a pair of psychedelic trousers and paper bag-waisted walking shorts. xx
