Missoni: Creativity, Ingenuity and Invention

The coffee table book "Missoni: Creativity, Ingenuity and Invention" was published in honor of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Missoni founder Ottavio Missoni. The beautifully illustrated fashion book tells the story of one of the great Italian fashion houses, from the origins of the family business to its worldwide fame as an icon of "Made in Italy." It highlights Italy's proud artistic heritage and the connection between classic art and modern design as a continuation of the country's creative traditions.

Creativity, ingenuity and invention have been hallmarks of Italian art since the Renaissance. This book places Missoni's fashion and decorative brands in historical and artistic context and shows how Italian designers offer a vision of the present and future through their understanding of the past, while creating a new creative language in the process. Edited by Massimiliano Capella and coordinated by Luca Missoni, artistic director of the Missoni Archives.

The excellence of Italian art from the time of Raphael, Michelangelo and Leonardo is renewed by the protagonists of a new and celebrated artistic poetics. Italian designers and their Maisons, laboratories of new sensibilities, are the voices that, by interpreting the past and creating new languages, offer visions of the present and the future. Their art, celebrated worldwide, renews the experience of the old masters as an incomparable voice of the most inspired and successful Italian identity.
