The only distinguishing factor from most of the brand's other collections is the addition of printed, textured outerwear on top of body conscious dresses. Floral prints make an appearance alongside Missoni's signature zigzag print, an addition that fashionistas will surely welcome with open arms come spring. Since this is a Pre-Fall offering, the collection includes [furry, knit outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/london-a-love-affair) over top of its famous printed, waist-cinching dresses, making it not only more consumer-friendly, but also certainly more approachable and usable for fashion magazines that are surely eager to incorporate the Missoni Pre-Fall 2012 collection into the pages of their editorial shoots. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Textured Outerwear:** Fashion brands can explore the idea of adding textured outerwear to their product offerings for Pre-Fall collections, just like Missoni did. - **Floral Prints:** Fashion brands can incorporate floral prints alongside their signature prints to add variety in their collections, like Missoni added floral prints to their zigzag pattern. - **Furry Knit Outerwear:** Fashion brands can experiment with furry knit outerwear to make their collections more consumer-friendly and approachable, similar to Missoni's Pre-Fall 2012 collection. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can take inspiration from Missoni's Pre-Fall collection and experiment with new designs, patterns, textures, and outerwear. - **Consumer Goods:** Consumer goods brands can collaborate with fashion brands to produce unique, stylish products that incorporate fashionable prints and textures, similar to Missoni's collection. - **Editorial Media:** Editorial media companies can incorporate Missoni's Pre-Fall 2012 collection into their editorial shoots, featuring the printed dresses and textured outerwear. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Transitional Wardrobe Range](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mm6-maison-margiela-prefall.md) - [Minimally Elegant Fall-Ready Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-1.md) - [Comfortable Sophisticated Knit Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kerisma-knits.md) - [Seasonal Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siegelman-stable-1.md) - [Retrospective Chic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prefall-2026-collection.md) - [Outdoor-Ready Luxurious Fashion Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-3.md) - [Pixelated Runway Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelated.md) - [Vibrant Designer Decor Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designer-decor-pillow.md)
