MILAN–Missoni is hitting all the right notes at the moment: their memorable campaign with Leighton Meester, and the recent gargantuan success of their Target collaboration–modeled by Margherita–proved that the classic Italian house still knows how to remain contemporary.

This was further reflected in the show, which was young and “re-interpreting our language, which is a constant challenge,” said Angela Missoni backstage, minutes after the show.

MILAN–In a game of 60s purity, ladylike touches, and 70s prints, the Marni collection read like a tale of a girl growing into womanhood.

The well-behaved, clean cut collection kicked off with a series of reinterpreted baby doll dresses–knee-length, soft-toned, paired down–yet with subtle flap details at the front and a cinched waist, complete with stockings and a slip poking out.

This was followed by sleeveless tops with a flare at the hips paired with a straight skirt. The patterns became more complex throughout the show: 70s geometrical prints, floral motifs in a pink palette and (perhaps the tour de force of the collection) a lurex embroided rose-hued dress, that looked neither tacky nor girly.
