Milan: fashion - people - design - art - parties - food and more...



Universita Statale:  Missoni Summer 2012 collection – The Venue.  The venue for the past few seasons for the Missoni shows is the Universita Statale, the university is based in “la Ca Granda”, or the big house, the name once used by the Milanese people to describe the huge Ospedale Maggiore complex.  Founded in 1456 by the Duke of Milan Francesco Sforza, the gigantic complex was built by Tuscan architect Antonio Avelino, known as Filarete to provide medical care for the city’s poorest people.




Missoni Summer 2012 collection.   The Missoni woman has just arrived home from an all night party and wears dancing dresses. Spectacular swinging fringes and light, floaty ruffles.  Bias cuts, asymmetric and mischievous revealing constructions, that flirt with the lines of the body and make heads turn.  She is a free spirit, that charms with her spontaneity.
