missoni: italian eye candy turning japanese
Thursday, August 25, 2011
Not to burst the blogosphere's love affair with the Target/Missoni collaboration, but the real deal this fall is every shade of sugar candy dip-dyed and cut as Japanese as an Issey+Kenzo+Yoji+Comme des+Kawakubo ensemble.
Add a swathe of snakeskin wide enough to make Ozzie Clark collectors swoon, a dollop of deep candy apple lips and the ever funky signature Missoni eyewear...
Voila! It's fall in the fairytale land of Missoni, with a departure so far from the world of Target that tried and true collectors won't have a feather ruffled by the cut rate version, that is unless they don the fluffy multi-pastel hued maxi skirt hot off the runway.
So, my little fashion birdies, which way do you fly? Classic Missoni colors at affordable prices or psychedelic late century modern couture?

I am not bold enough for taking on the modern couture version, Mary Jo. I'm sticking to the classic prints (and accessories would be my very first choice). Hope you're having a beautiful week! xo

Wake me from my dream. How gorgeous are these things? Astonishing.
nothing but brilliance here in these collections.
Can I love both? Is that allowed? No, obviously I love the runway show--- how could I not? I am excited about the Target line (although personally my favorite piece is a quilt), but this trumps it any day!
2 words--- cotton-candy snuffleupagus. It IS pretty but the cheap in me picks target!
I love Missoni. They are really amazing, unique designers!

Missoni is unique.

Being a victim of the "classic" style I stick to the classic Misoni but I admit that the modern couture looks gorgeous too!!!

I have to agree, the colors and patterns are fantastic here!
I wouldn't try these styles myself; but I do love the pastel hues! :)

Such a beautiful color palette!
Such a Great collection, I love and woould wear the lilac coat, very glamorous.
Oh that lavender color is so pretty! I agree this is a great collection!! Always so much fun to check out your posts!!
I'm with Alexis, my favorite piece in the Target line is the quilt. I'm usually disapointed with the Target collaborations. The fabric and make is just SO cheap. I don't mind buying T-shirts and detergent at Target, but not designer clothing! I'll take the real thing any day, though I can't afford it AT ALL. It is beautiful Love that fur skirt.

I love their use of subtle and fresh colours. So very elegant!
Lots of love from Sydney,
