Just had a look at the pictures on nowfashion.com

I'm not a fan. The color combinations, the cuts, the pieces... all looks to Boho and messy to me. I kind of miss classic Missoni, I'm not liking this attempt at being cool. There wasn't a single outfit that I actually liked.

I like the few opening looks, but then things just got very experimental. I would love to see how they filter that for the selling floor.

it looks really really messy again....

my thoughts exactly when i saw the collection

 

[ParisFashionMuse]

love the color but primarily fits for fall. doesn't seem summery for me and as usual- messy.

Dale, I "overstretched" your one post, I hope you don't mind .

I'm quite impressed by how the styling's managed to make this look quite thematic and celebratory, and not vulgar at all, when that's how each piece will look like separately.

its quite rare i will say missoni's styling is bad but otherwise this is great..definitely better in the big hq pics!

 

[Not Plain Jane]

Hot messiness embodied.

Where did all the gypsy-inspiration come from? I thought everyone knew it looks cheap really fast and this is no exception.

lol I thought it was pretty. Sure it's a little messy, but Missoni has always embraced that raggy/boho sorta look. It feels very Italian and very energetic. But of course it's the colours that really stun me, they're beautiful. The animal prints, however, are pretty disgusting.

i just looked through all the images twice...
and upon the second look i managed to find one, MAYBE two pieces that i would potentially wear...
and even those two pieces i wouldn't seek out in particular...

this is just a miss of a collection for me
they're capable of working their traditional knits in some beautiful ways, i just don't think they managed anything special this season
