RUNWAY: Missoni FW14

It's been a year since the Missoni family lost two members of their family after a tragic plane crash off the coast of Venezuela. So it's not surprise that the FW14 collection had water on its mind. Though the theme was undoubtedly cheery. Clothes were relaxed and had a SoCal surfer vibe to them. The knits were positively drool worthy as Missoni continues to push the family's claim to fame to a new level. The zig-zag patterned knits that made Missoni famous around the world are eclipsed by sumptuous weaves, full of color and warmth, looking almost like tweed. Shearling was also featured, like on a coat's collar, but the story here are the knits. If Burberry Prorsum's large, painterly blankets from their FW14 show earlier this week were an indication, then Missoni's knitted versions only affirm that the accessory to own next season is a luxe blanket.
