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.

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.

Eugene Souleiman, Wella Professionals global creative director for care
and styling was being interviewed by Mediaset’s Valentina Malfa. He describes
the hairstyle “It has a clubby feel, as if you had been dancing in the hot
summer night. To give the hair texture and a
perfect setting, I rubbed the roots with a Wella paste and dried it with a
hairdryer which sets the paste.”
