Missoni
is an Italian luxury fashion house based in
Varese
, and known for its colourful knitwear designs. The company was founded by
Ottavio
("Tai") and
Rosita Missoni
in 1953.
The business was founded in 1953, when Ottavio and Rosita Missoni set up a small knitwear workshop in
Gallarate
, Italy.
[
2
]
They presented their first collection under the Missoni label in
Milan
in 1958.
[
2
]
The business prospered, with the support of fashion editor
Anna Piaggi
, then at
Arianna
magazine.
[
2
]
Rosita met the French stylist
Emmanuelle Khanh
in New York in 1965, which led to a collaboration and a new collection the following year.
[
2
]
In April 1967, they were invited to show at the
Pitti Palace
in
Florence
.
[
2
]
Rosita told the models to remove their
bras
, supposedly because they were the wrong colour, and showed through the thin
lamé
blouses. The material became
transparent
under the lights and caused a sensation.
[
2
]
The Missonis were not invited back the following year, but the business grew; a new factory in
Sumirago
was built in 1969.
[
2
]
Missoni designs were championed in the US by
Diana Vreeland
, editor of American
Vogue
, and a Missoni boutique was opened in
Bloomingdales
.
[
2
]
Missoni reached the peak of its influence in the fashion world in the early 1970s (though has since been the subject of revivals in interest as new generations of fashion writers discovered the appeal of its core knitwear). Tai Missoni then became more interested in other projects, designing
costumes
for
La Scala
, carpets, and
tapestries
.

Rosita Missoni lost interest in fashion in the 1990s and was succeeded by her daughter Angela in 1998 while Rosita took over Missoni Home.
[

In 1996 the Missonis transferred control of the business to their three children:
[
4
]
Vittorio Missoni
became marketing director; Luca (born 1956) was menswear designer until 2008; Angela (born 1958) was womenswear designer, and took over menswear in 2008 when Luca became responsible for the Archive and Events.
[
5
]
By 2005, Missoni earned 60 to 70 per cent of its revenue from womenswear.
[
6
]
From 2007 until 2009, Massimo Gasparini briefly served as the company's CEO, setting up a new organizational structure and streamlining its product offer.

On 13 September 2011, Missoni made headlines briefly when
Target Stores
offered low-cost variants of Missoni products in their stores and on their website. Most items sold out within 24 hours, there were long queues outside stores and the Target website was overloaded. Some items appeared at higher prices on
eBay
within hours and Target did not restock.

**Missoni** is an Italian luxury fashion house based in [Varese](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varese,_Italy "Varese, Italy"), and known for its colourful knitwear designs. The company was founded by [Ottavio](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottavio_Missoni "Ottavio Missoni") ("Tai") and [Rosita Missoni](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosita_Missoni "Rosita Missoni") in 1953.
## History
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Missoni&action=edit§ion=1 "Edit section: History")\]
### Early beginnings
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Missoni&action=edit§ion=2 "Edit section: Early beginnings")\]
The business was founded in 1953, when Ottavio and Rosita Missoni set up a small knitwear workshop in [Gallarate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallarate "Gallarate"), Italy.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-history-2) They presented their first collection under the Missoni label in [Milan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milan "Milan") in 1958.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-history-2) The business prospered, with the support of fashion editor [Anna Piaggi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Piaggi "Anna Piaggi"), then at *Arianna* magazine.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-history-2) Rosita met the French stylist [Emmanuelle Khanh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmanuelle_Khanh "Emmanuelle Khanh") in New York in 1965, which led to a collaboration and a new collection the following year.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-history-2) In April 1967, they were invited to show at the [Pitti Palace](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitti_Palace "Pitti Palace") in [Florence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence "Florence").[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-history-2) Rosita told the models to remove their [bras](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassiere "Brassiere"), supposedly because they were the wrong colour, and showed through the thin [lamé](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lam%C3%A9_\(fabric\) "Lamé (fabric)") blouses. The material became [transparent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency "Transparency and translucency") under the lights and caused a sensation.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-history-2) The Missonis were not invited back the following year, but the business grew; a new factory in [Sumirago](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumirago "Sumirago") was built in 1969.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-history-2) Missoni designs were championed in the US by [Diana Vreeland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_Vreeland "Diana Vreeland"), editor of American [*Vogue*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vogue_magazine "Vogue magazine"), and a Missoni boutique was opened in [Bloomingdales](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomingdales "Bloomingdales").[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-history-2)
Missoni reached the peak of its influence in the fashion world in the early 1970s (though has since been the subject of revivals in interest as new generations of fashion writers discovered the appeal of its core knitwear). Tai Missoni then became more interested in other projects, designing [costumes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costumes "Costumes") for [La Scala](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Scala "La Scala"), carpets, and [tapestries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapestries "Tapestries").\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\]

### Second generation
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Missoni&action=edit§ion=3 "Edit section: Second generation")\]
Rosita Missoni lost interest in fashion in the 1990s and was succeeded by her daughter Angela in 1998 while Rosita took over Missoni Home.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-3)
In 1996 the Missonis transferred control of the business to their three children:[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-biochannel-4) [Vittorio Missoni](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vittorio_Missoni "Vittorio Missoni") became marketing director; Luca (born 1956) was menswear designer until 2008; Angela (born 1958) was womenswear designer, and took over menswear in 2008 when Luca became responsible for the Archive and Events.[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-5) By 2005, Missoni earned 60 to 70 per cent of its revenue from womenswear.[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-6) From 2007 until 2009, Massimo Gasparini briefly served as the company's CEO, setting up a new organizational structure and streamlining its product offer.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-Missoni_CEO_to_Pilot_Major_Changes-7)[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-8)

On 13 September 2011, Missoni made headlines briefly when [Target Stores](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_Stores "Target Stores") offered low-cost variants of Missoni products in their stores and on their website. Most items sold out within 24 hours, there were long queues outside stores and the Target website was overloaded. Some items appeared at higher prices on [eBay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBay "EBay") within hours and Target did not restock.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-9)

A year later, Angela Missoni announced plans to list the company at the [Borsa Italiana](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borsa_Italiana "Borsa Italiana") within three years.[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-18)

### Missoni Sport
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Missoni&action=edit§ion=9 "Edit section: Missoni Sport")\]

M Missoni, a less expensive line, was introduced in 1998 and initially manufactured and distributed by [Marzotto](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marzotto "Marzotto").[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-history-2) Margherita Maccapani Missoni, granddaughter of Rosita Missoni, served as the label's creative director from 1998 until 2021.[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-25)

**Missoni** is an Italian luxury fashion house based in [Varese](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varese,_Italy "Varese, Italy"), and known for its colourful knitwear designs. The company was founded by [Ottavio](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottavio_Missoni "Ottavio Missoni") ("Tai") and [Rosita Missoni](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosita_Missoni "Rosita Missoni") in 1953.
The business was founded in 1953, when Ottavio and Rosita Missoni set up a small knitwear workshop in [Gallarate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallarate "Gallarate"), Italy.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-history-2) They presented their first collection under the Missoni label in [Milan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milan "Milan") in 1958.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-history-2) The business prospered, with the support of fashion editor [Anna Piaggi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Piaggi "Anna Piaggi"), then at *Arianna* magazine.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-history-2) Rosita met the French stylist [Emmanuelle Khanh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmanuelle_Khanh "Emmanuelle Khanh") in New York in 1965, which led to a collaboration and a new collection the following year.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-history-2) In April 1967, they were invited to show at the [Pitti Palace](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitti_Palace "Pitti Palace") in [Florence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence "Florence").[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-history-2) Rosita told the models to remove their [bras](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassiere "Brassiere"), supposedly because they were the wrong colour, and showed through the thin [lamé](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lam%C3%A9_\(fabric\) "Lamé (fabric)") blouses. The material became [transparent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency "Transparency and translucency") under the lights and caused a sensation.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-history-2) The Missonis were not invited back the following year, but the business grew; a new factory in [Sumirago](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumirago "Sumirago") was built in 1969.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-history-2) Missoni designs were championed in the US by [Diana Vreeland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_Vreeland "Diana Vreeland"), editor of American [*Vogue*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vogue_magazine "Vogue magazine"), and a Missoni boutique was opened in [Bloomingdales](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomingdales "Bloomingdales").[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-history-2)
Missoni reached the peak of its influence in the fashion world in the early 1970s (though has since been the subject of revivals in interest as new generations of fashion writers discovered the appeal of its core knitwear). Tai Missoni then became more interested in other projects, designing [costumes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costumes "Costumes") for [La Scala](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Scala "La Scala"), carpets, and [tapestries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapestries "Tapestries").\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\]

Rosita Missoni lost interest in fashion in the 1990s and was succeeded by her daughter Angela in 1998 while Rosita took over Missoni Home.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-3)
In 1996 the Missonis transferred control of the business to their three children:[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-biochannel-4) [Vittorio Missoni](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vittorio_Missoni "Vittorio Missoni") became marketing director; Luca (born 1956) was menswear designer until 2008; Angela (born 1958) was womenswear designer, and took over menswear in 2008 when Luca became responsible for the Archive and Events.[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-5) By 2005, Missoni earned 60 to 70 per cent of its revenue from womenswear.[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-6) From 2007 until 2009, Massimo Gasparini briefly served as the company's CEO, setting up a new organizational structure and streamlining its product offer.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-Missoni_CEO_to_Pilot_Major_Changes-7)[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-8)

On 13 September 2011, Missoni made headlines briefly when [Target Stores](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_Stores "Target Stores") offered low-cost variants of Missoni products in their stores and on their website. Most items sold out within 24 hours, there were long queues outside stores and the Target website was overloaded. Some items appeared at higher prices on [eBay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBay "EBay") within hours and Target did not restock.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-9)

A year later, Angela Missoni announced plans to list the company at the [Borsa Italiana](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borsa_Italiana "Borsa Italiana") within three years.[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-18)
In 2021, Angela Missoni was succeeded at the helm of the women's line by Alberto Caliri.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-19) The following year, Missoni named Filippo Grazioli its new creative director, with Caliri overeeing Missoni Sport and Missoni Home.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoni#cite_note-Luisa_Zargani_2022-20)
