The Missoni Autumn 2011 collection debuted in Milan this week and has proven to be unique against the predicted bold colours we will be seeing this fall. Missoni’s runway was reminiscent of Easter eggs and ice cream. With a dream-like colour palette of mint, creamsicle, raspberry, cotton candy and lavender, the pieces were confectionary genius.
From head to toe, the models were dressed in zigzag patterns and tweed paired with snakeskin. The runway showcased chunky knitwear, Prince of Wales check coats and long flowing maxi dresses. For accessories, Missoni outfitted the models with newsboy caps, knitted berets and pastel patchwork snakeskin biker boots.
The Missoni Autumn 2011 collection carried the perfect partnership between light, flowing pastels with the edginess of snakeskin accessories.
