Unorthodox combinations of abstract patters, textures and color are the foundations of Missoni AW18 Pre-Collection. Inspired by the blurred social boundaries and cultural dynamism of 1980s New York City, the collection mixes retro streetwear influences with Italian tailoring, creating slightly boxy silhouettes for a relaxed downtown vibe. Coming soon to missoni.com.
Missoni used two exclusive designs from New York-based Japanese artist E-Wax on pieces throughout the collection. A brushed flannel work shirt, an artist’s smock in shirting fabric, and a fine-gauge wool crewneck feature variants of one design, while another was used for an oversized intarsia crewneck in brushed mohair.
