Fashion Icons with Fern Mallis: Missoni in Conversation—An Evening with Angela Missoni and Rosita Missoni

With their iconic knitwear, Missoni is one of the best known, loved and recognized fashion and design brands in the world.

Founded in 1953 when Ottavio and Rosita Missoni set up a small knitwear workshop not far from Rosita’s home village in Italy, Missoni invented an unmistakable aesthetic of zigzag motifs, stripes, waves and slub yarns in a patchwork of geometric and floral jacquard. Family matriarch Rosita and Angela, her daughter and the brand’s creative director since 1996, sit down with award-winning creator and organizer of New York Fashion Week, Fern Mallis, to discuss the company’s history, and how they remain one of the best representatives of Italian fashion and design excellence around the world.
