Missoni

Designer

Missoni is an Italian fashion house based in Varese, known for its colourful knitwear designs. The company was founded by Ottavio and Rosita Missoni in 1953.

In 1996, the Missonis transferred control of the business to their three children: Vittorio Missoni became marketing director; Luca (born 1956) menswear designer until 2008; and Angela (born 1958) womenswear designer. Angela Missoni took over menswear in 2008 when Luca became responsible for the archive and events. In May 2021, the company restructured and Angela Missoni stepped down as creative director of men's and women's. Staying on as president, she handed over creative responsibility to her right hand man, design director Alberto Caliri for the interim before naming Filippo Grazioli at creative director of menswear and womenswear.

Missoni show their collections at Milan Fashion Week and are stocked globally both in stand-alone stores and noted department stores.
