M Missoni Resort 2015

[marcBarna]

Inspired by the laid-back spirit of Jamaica, Angela Missoni imbued a relaxed, youthful mood on her resort lineup, juxtaposing some of the label’s signature patterns with island influences. For example, a cotton and viscose jacquard top done in colorful, smoke-like effects was worn with a flowing silk chiffon skirt printed with African graphics. A series of crochet pieces, including a multicolor dress embellished with ruffles on the bodice, were pretty and fresh.

Angela Missoni tapped into the laid-back vibe of reggae culture for her M Missoni Resort offering. The Jamaican flag supplied the collection's vibrant color compositions. Easy silhouettes, like apron-style frocks and tops, were cut in madras plaids traditional to the Caribbean. Those loose-fitting checked pieces will be too relaxed for some, but there were plenty of body-con touches elsewhere. We're thinking specifically of a clingy crocheted dress featuring feminine ruffles, which was striped in the colors of the country's flag. Paired with raffia-soled Vans, it played to the brand's knitwear strengths. Ditto went for a thick-ribbed number that was reminiscent of old-school basketball jerseys. Missoni and her team continued to push innovative fabrications with a series of indigo looks including a cute shorts suit, which was cut from a woven denim that was washed, fringed, and then patchworked together. Finished off with novelty accessories such as artisanal drum bags and basketweave wedges, the new lineup had a persuasive, vital energy.

Good but I'm not in love. I don't like the prints, but the cuts are okay (the jumpsuit in post 2 is cool). My fav look is the first one of that same post. But I think the shoes are great.

I love looks 6 to 8 (in the second post); they're charmingly weird and cute for Missoni. I wouldn't wear any of this, but in terms of creativity I find this to be a solid collection. Some of the proportions and volumes are odd, but I like that. Cool
