Missoni SS14: East of Eden

The newspaper on each guest's seat, entitled 'Missoni Moments' offered up inspirational hashtags as a social media-savvy means of summarising the collection. Words such as 'zig-zaggy' and 'pop'n'xotic' would have been wholly confusing if we hadn't already had a succinct run-through of ideas from Angela Missoni backstage before the show. She reminded us that the Missoni girl is a true Bohemian at heart, and this season she travelled East, wearing saris and flowing kaftans and little Japanese zori, and taking in the wonders of nature as she went. Each of the four elements was represented in Japanese wood-block-like graphics: A Hokusai wave here, a burning fire ember there. Angela Missoni had also chosen to revert to the logo-mania of the nineties this season, weaving the Missoni emblem into jackets, thigh-split skirts and slouchy tees. With searing colour combinations of orange, turquoise and lilac popping throughout the entire collection, it was as graphic and dynamic as nature gets.
