The haute new book documents the venerable past and multifaceted future of the famed Italian fashion house in a volume that celebrates over sixty years of design. Conceived as a beautiful object in its own right, in which images, texts, original fabrics, drawings, color palettes and patterns speak to one another, this comprehensive monograph features reproductions of signature Missoni patterns printed on special material and stitched into the binding.
