As models commence their steep descent from Missoni heaven onto a mirror runway, we get a first look at the Spring 2023 Women’s ready-to-wear collection. Filippo Grazioli, the newly appointed creative director of the Italian luxury house, showcases his debut of, “a new vision that maintains the joyfulness, freshness, sense of color, and positivity,” that combines Missoni’s core qualities with Grazioli’s unique perspective.
Presenting a more youthful take on how the classic knitwear designs can be reapproached, we see a strong emphasis on materials, silhouettes, and bold colors. In this case, Grazioli is securing his footing by finding fresh ways to take the traditional zigzag stripes & compliment the femine body in various forms of sexy. From sheer tops & cut outs, to silhouette hugging meandering 2 piece sets equipped with their very own flowing cape. Even playing with small clutches & plexiglass mules, the range being explored is light, sensual & with no limits to who can enjoy the Missoni language. 3 generations of women have the capability of glorifying in this line together, as the collection is inclusive to all walks of femine confidence.
With a new era emerging of who the “Missoni Woman” is, Grazioli has made a safe first step in showing the looking world what he’s capable of. Patiently waiting to see what redefining the Missoni house with the Grazioli experience creates for us in the future.
