Ottavio Missoni Passed Away!

The founder of the fashion house Missoni, passed away in 9/05/2013 in Sumirago, Italy. 

Before his career in fashion, Missoni was a 400m runner. In 1955, Ottavio Missoni founded a woolwear brand called "Maglificio Joly". The name was changed to "Missoni" in 1958. The iconic zigzag pattern was quickly established, and the sweaters got a sexier reputation when during the 60s, the fashion house used braless models. 

Ottavio Missoni was under a lot of emotional pressure after his son, Vittorio, mysteriously disappeared near Venezuela. 

Missoni Style

Missoni was known for its geometrical patterns and abstract florals in a kaleidoscope of colors. The fashion house is also known for using many different fabrics such as wool, cotton, linen, rayon and silk.

Bring spring in your closet

Spring is the most colourful season of the year. Along with the warmer days what also comes is that floral dress you saw the other day at that local store and you just can't wait to make it yours. We have always been an advocate of creating to-do lists in order to keep life interesting. So, today here is my list for this spring purchases.

1. Buy gold sequin short pants or skirt

.

I'm dying to have this piece on my wardrobe and match it with a bright-coloured shirt, maybe a coral one...

      2.  Buy royal blue pointed pumps

This is one of my favorite colours and I definately want it on my feet! Just imagine this classy pumps with a pair of byofriend jeans...

   3.  Florals

I am currently craving for some fresh florals! I want floral skirts, floral pants, floral dresses and make it even more fabulous with golden accessories. 

    4. Vintage sunglasses

The ultimate accessory which can also protect us from the burning sun is a pair of sunglasses. I already bought this pair of tartaruga sunnies by Vogue but you can also play safe with a pair of Wayfarers by Ray-Ban.

   5. Collars

Collars appeared to be a must-have accessory during winter, so I thought by matching them with my spring tops, I will upgrade my style a little.
