Fashion and Style

Fashion and Style show in Milan Feb. 22, 2007. Fashion designer Missoni incorporated both the look of the forties and the seventies. Angela Missoni came out on the right side of the line, even if she did use the familiar devices of Rita Hayworths hair, Marlene Dietrichs tip tilted hat, and the inevitable Bowie soundtrack. But whats the distinction between Missoni cape sleeved printed dresses, big shouldered furs, balloon sleeves, tailored flares, Deco jerseys and everyone else? It's largely of deft wielding of the hard to handle dusty seventies palette. Exact choices of maroon, brown, beige, mustard, dusty pink, and petrol blue marked Missoni best in class in Milan.
