Take the skateboards away from the models and the skater influence may seem like a bit of the stretch, nevertheless, it is undeniable that the M Missoni Resort 2014 collection has a sporty feel to it. Yet, as is the Italian brand's signature style, the looks are rife with vibrant prints and patterns that are quite the distraction from such athletic details.
Nevertheless, the designers behind the M Missoni Resort 2014 collection have captured the free spirit of Venice Beach and its surf and skate subcultures. Upon closer inspection, the prints are much more cartoonish and street-art-inspired than the label is known for. According to Angela Missoni, "We played with the California girl’s vibrant and unconventional attitude to fashion." Youthful and fun, the looks are perfect for summer.
