The Missoni show was a exuberant celebration of color, pop art, and travel. The layering of clashing prints and acidic colors were a barrage on the eyes. After taking a step back and catching my breath, I thought it was rather fantastic. Words and phrases like "FEEL IT", "HONEY", and "SHAKING ALL OVER" were taken from 90's rap songs and literally inserted into the clothes, showing the youth-culture influence Margherita is contributing to her mother Angela's ideas. The tribal-ethnic influence was untraceable, shaping the current Missoni girl into a global ambassador of sorts. The hats worn may be a take on graduation caps, as the setting of the show was a Milanese university, but their relevance to the collection is about as unclear as their commerical success will be. For the finale walk, the models outstretched their arms like children acting as airplanes, but despite the questionable significance the spirit of the action just made sense. FEEL IT.
