Missoni showcased their Women’s Fall/Winter 2023 collection on Feb. 25th, 2023. The collection, designed by Creative Director Filippo Grazioli, was inspired by roses, symbols of beauty, joy, and most famously, love. Grazioli was inspired by women both strong and delicate, and with fragility and imperfections. The colors of the collection are reminiscent of flowers as well, with earthy tones from rust to intense browns, with touches of mauve, very light green, pale gray, and flashes of metallic.
Touch and sight meet in the three-dimensionality of the material in the collection: knit, woven as to become fur; velvet; and faux fur. Knitwear is enveloping and comfortable, with coats and jackets that are variations around the cardigan. Fiammato, zig zags and then a riot of roses, that get wild when blended with animal spots. The play of proportions is constant, in both garments and patterns, between bodycon, long silhouettes and the decisive volumes of masculine tailoring. Long earrings, shielding sunglasses, high heels complete this tale of roses.
