Family and fashion. Those are the two things that sum up both Italian brand Missoni as a label, and its creative director Angela Missoni – heir to the knitwear dynasty started by her parents in 1953. Angela Missoni is warm, like a quintessential Italian mama, but undeniably chic, dressed in the house’s inimitable woven knit. She wants to talk about her grandkids (how they call her ‘Nonna Anga’) and how her parents met (under the statue of Eros in London’s Piccadilly Circus). She’s full of life, wisdom, memories and stories – we could have spoken to her for days, but instead we (tried to) capture her spirit on film so you could experience it too. Here she is, playing finish the fashion sentence like the good sport she is…
As timeless as it is cool, you can never own too much Missoni…
