Finally got around to the March Bazaar this weekend. (Curiously my March
Vogue has yet to arrive- should I be worried?) Paging through the latest ads
and newest trends for spring, the new Missoni campaign caught my eye. Shot
by Juergen Teller, we get a glimpse into the Missoni family and their
eclectic zig zag world. It's scads of pages of maison Missoni- look there's
Octavio aka "Grandpa" Missoni ready to pour some wine and regale us with
stories of Sardinian holidays past. And there's the ever chic Margherita
pouting and posing in her hippie chic glory. Most intriguing is that the
décor of their home is not unlike a Boca Raton bubby's- loads of tschotskes
everywhere and a bit over the top. I have always admired the Missoni family
and heart how these ads are not really about the clothes, but more about the
people who wear them, and the tradition behind the brand. It's cool for a designer to shy away from using the big models in the spring
books. I'd rather have dinner with the Missonis any day. Bravo Channel- are
you reading this? Perhaps this is your next reality hit...
