MFW – Missoni: A story of Fashion - Friends – Femininity and Human Rights

“I feel the need to recognize that in a time of uncertainty there is a bond between us that can keep us strong and safe: the bond that unites those that respect the Human Rights of all… Please join me and my family on the catwalk, let’s show the world that we are united and fearless.”

Angela Missoni

MFW 2017 – Missoni: A story of Fashion - Friends – Femininity and Human Rights. Angela Missoni asked girlfriends to participate in her project for Women’s Rights, asking each one of us to wear a Missoni “Pussyhat” for a photo shoot backstage before the Winter 2017 fashion show. And, at the end of the beautiful, joyful, colorful and “classical” Missoni show, she asked everybody in the audience to join her onstage wearing a pussyhat enclosed in the press kit on each seat.

Missoni - Winter 2017

The Inspiration for the collection was the view from Angela Missoni’s window of the Monte Rosa: the solidity of the mountain and the softness of its pinkish hues, a morning inspiration in her tireless quest to define Missoni’s style as its creative director. A photo of which was used as a backdrop for the fashion show.

Make-Up – Aaron de Mey

“The inspiration was the girls, respecting their individual beauty. An exercise in texture with beautiful shine on eyelids and cheeks. Velvet skin. Very neutral palette. A clean pure look.”
