Label Text:The Missoni family has established an iconic aesthetic founded on knitwear separates in colorful stripe, chevron, and zig-zag motifs as seen in this ensemble. Ottavio and Rosita Missoni started their business in 1953 and built their brand with family at the heart of their operations. In addition to fashion, they produce tableware and table linens, and most recently a cookbook which draws clear connections between their fashion business, family domestic practice, and food.
