The exhibition “MISSONI, ART, COLOUR”, previously held at MA*GA Museum in Gallarate – and featured last October in our Tumblr – will open in May at The Fashion and Textile Museum in London. It displays the work of Missoni, the great Italian fashion House, celebrating the creativity of its founders, Rosita and Ottavio Missoni, alongside more than 40 paintings that have inspired the Missonis. These artworks, by artists such as Gino Severini, Lucio Fontana and Sonia Delaunay, mainly come from MA*GA collection and will be shown together with a large selection of looks created since 1953 by Rosita Missoni and from 1997 by Angela Missoni as well as previously unseen textile studies, paintings and Arazzi Ottavio Missoni.

Curated by Luciano Caramel, Luca Missoni, Emma Zanella, “MISSONI, ART, COLOUR” is, in Luca Missoni’s words, “designed to showcase the creative process of knitting artwork into fashion forms.” MA*GA and Missoni also partner with The Woolmark Company in bringing the exhibition to London.
