Designer Spotlight - Missoni

London always has something going on, it's one of my favourite things about living in the city, having access to everything.  And almost always there is something fashion oriented going on.  Today I went to the Fashion and Textile Museum to have a look at the Missoni exhibition that is running till September.  
Missoni is known for their knitwear.  The average person may not know the name of the brand, but they would probably recognize their colorful knits.  Missoni had a sellout collection at Target a few years ago. What I had no idea going into the exhibition was that the original designers were heavily influenced by art.  The exhibition, which was actually quite small, was very focused on the art that both influenced the creation of Missoni as well as art that was created by the designers.  The influential art was avant-garde and the designers sought to add another dimension to the art by using the inspiration of the art, patterns, and colors and adding material, form, and movement.  In turn creating beautifully colored knit fabrics and turning them into amazing clothes.
