MORE scaffolding. The name Missoni as a Madison Avenue shop rings a bill but I cannot remember why. Was it very trendy at one time?

    oooh, who doesn't love missoni, but I agree w/Sarah B, it's hit or miss.  The colors are so funky, but when it's on the mark you have a unique & classic investment piece that you can keep, wear, and appreciate forever.  Be careful tho, the more delicate pieces pull & that can be a pain.  There is a designated alterations lady who specializes on missoni knits in nyc.      

    Missoni bathings suits are amazing.

    I just posted a picture up with my Missoni top, I love it!

    Women throw money at designer duds like how men 'invest' in gadgets.

    I drooled over a reversible string bikini in a magazine a week ago and immediately called the only Missoni boutique in the nation.

    Transaction was smooth: Jane sent over the jpegs and emailed me the purchase form.  I faxed it back and within two days I got my tax-free suit.

    The colors are vivid, the print unmistakable, the quality and the cut beautiful.

    Gives me a newfound swagger @ the pool, and a bargain, seeing as it's 2 suits in 1.

OK, Let us also run old article from British Magazine, Business of Fashion, published this month

Week in Review | New York’s Shifting Retail Landscape, Talent Spotters, Faustine Steinmetz, China’s Slowdown, Ottavio Missoni, Faye Toogood

By Imran Amed 10 May, 2013
BoF editor-in-chief Imran Amed recaps the week in the business of fashion.

LONDON, United Kingdom — This week, we published an in-depth, three part report on the shifting winds of New York’s retail landscape, chock full of on-the-ground insight and expert commentary on one of the most dynamic retail markets in the world. From the rise and recasting of the Meatpacking District to the resurgence of Soho and the emergence of NoMad, we covered it all.
We also spoke to some of the industry’s top talent spotters and matchmakers. From New York to London to Paris to Bombay to Beijing, these are the women who have spotted and supported some of the world’s top fashion talent. Without their encouragement and advice, we may never have surfaced globally recognised names like Christopher Bailey, Sabyasachi and Qiu Hao.

Another one of our favourite talent spotters is young designer aficionado Susanna Lau, aka Susie Bubble. Indeed, given the volume of young fashion talent that she meets, there may nobody better positioned to surface the emerging designers with the most creative potential than Ms Lau. In her latest column for BoF, Susie writes about the Paris-born, London-based Faustine Steinmetz and her ‘petite maison’ of handmade creations.

As usual, there was no shortage of international reporting from our global correspondents, contributors and partners around the world this week. Our friends at CBN Weekly, a highly respected Chinese business magazine, assert that the real causes of the luxury slowdown taking hold in China go far beyond the new government’s anti-corruption campaign. According to CBN, the decelerating growth can be traced to fundamental shifts in consumer preferences, as well as the on-going pricing gap for luxury goods between Chinese and Western markets.

Perhaps not surprisingly, then, the prospects for luxury in the UK seem to be much brighter, driven in part by the growing importance of tourist flows, especially from China. This week, the Walpole — a non-profit association of prestigious British luxury brands — and Ledbury Research published a new report that predicts the UK’s luxury market will double by 2017, reaching more than £12.2 billion.
There was some very sad news from Italy this week: Ottavio Missoni, patriarch of a clan who are now managing the global fashion business that carries his name, passed away at the age of 92. The last time I saw Mr Missoni was at the IHT Luxury conference in London back in 2010. I was touched by the evident closeness of the Missoni family. Our thoughts are with them at this difficult time.
Speaking of a conference, to all our readers in Australia, I look forward to meeting you next week at the Bespoke luxury conference, hosted by the Australian Financial Review at the Sydney Opera House. It’s shaping up to be a great conversation about contemporary fashion and business.
Have a great weekend everyone.
