Missoni SS14 - Landscapes of Africa

Missoni continues to draw inspiration from the family's artisanal knitwear heritage, focusing on innovative knit techniques such as special loom knit fabrics made of rubber coated yarn. Color palettes radiated references to West Africa's indigo tie dyes of Benin, sandy terracotta of Mali mud dyes and the dark khaki olives of the Ivory Coast rainforests. We saw a continued collaboration with Jean Machine's five-pocket jean pants, Finamore of Napoli's hand-made shirts and the iconic Missoni space dye to recreate the Jack Purcell by Converse.
