Enjoying the subtle elegance of the pants and the jacket here, otherwise I agree, too busy; but maybe not for the target audience who also needs lawn ornaments?

this is really the worst missoni collection i've seen in a long time i think :ermm:
 
BETTER than their previous collection.I have a thing for missoni.I love Italian fashion houses.
 
I don't understand the accessories. i can't figure out if they're just holding handkerchiefs or if that's an actual purse. same with the fan + hat combos...are they actually holding a fan and a hat, or is that a purse of some sort?
 
is this supposed to be mexican inspired? or spanish?

i didn't like those multi-colored animal prints when Matthew Williamson did them for H&M, i don't like them here either.
 
Dresses over pants...who the hell did the styling? I hate those ruffles too...I do like the colors though.
 
As I was saying on the D&G thread, I am feeling this whole gypsy thing for some reason. And I totally applaud the more youthful direction this season and last at Missoni, the daughters having more influence on the aesthetic.

I don't know where the gypsy thing comes from either but in my own head a couple of thoughts -

That we're all travellers now (in cyberspace, perpetual motion) and, possibly?, broadly tolerant of other cultures/lifestyles. Of outsiders.

Whilst I don't suppose it has any bearing on the designer's minds, Dundas @ Pucci too, it might play a part in crossing the look over to actual worn, living, fashion. If the saga continues. That is the attempted eviction in England of a community of travellers from their pitches in Dale Farm, Basildon. It's been a big news item in the UK although I suspect not internationally. And has polarised opinion between conservative and liberal.

Of course, nobody, probably, there, at Dale Farm, wears traditional gypsy garb. And you could see a logic that says it's offensive to ape the gypsy look at the price level of the 'luxury' brands. Basildon being a long way from New Bond Street.

But when you cross it over to the summer street and the festival, the look could be worn as a mark of solidarity with those being persecuted at Dale Farm, traveller communities, outsiders, and those with liberal values around toleration of others, everywhere.

I think that's broadly the language, the connotations, evoked by the gypsy look? It certainly doesn't say 'I work in a bank'. And right now the furthest removed we can get from bank culture the better, right?

Lovely colour combinations. Looks very folklore and interesting. I can also see it looking good in print. Looks 2, 4 and 6 are stunning.
 
It looks choppy to me. I don't really like the cuts. The shoes though, are interesting and I actually am quite fond of them. The shades of blue are very pretty as well.
 
Its messy and chaotic as usual but for some reason they always make it work
