After the Success of Target Collaboration, Missoni Plans To Launch a Lower-Priced Line

Photographer (and Franca Sozzani’s Son) Francesco Carrozzini On the Importance of Blogs, Fruit of the Loom, and His New Site Lifestyle Mirror
What do you get when you combine two dashingly handsome, charming and well-connected Italian men? In this case, you get Lifestylemirror.com–a well curated content-based website that acts as a portal for online shopping. Last night the site’s founders Emanuele Della Valle and Francesco Carrozzini hosted a party at the website’s new event space in Chelsea to welcome summer, and there was no shortage of free flowing Ruinart champagne and well-heeled friends.
It’s no surprise those friends include the likes of Anne Hatheway (looking very gamine with pixie hair and Charlotte Olympia cat flats), Natalie Joos, Johan Lindberg (who told us he wears a scarf, white t-shirt and jacket even to the beach), and Meredith Melling Burke, just to name a few, considering both men were already part of the industry in utero. Della Valle is son of Tod’s billionaire CEO Diego Della Valle, and Carrozzini is son of Vogue Italia EIC Franca Sozzani.

Giambattista Valli Spring 2012: More is More
PARIS–Thank goodness Giambattista Valli is doing a collection for Macy’s that we can all afford because if his Impulse line for the mass retailer is even remotely like what he just showed for spring 2012 (or any of his latest collections for that matter), you’re gonna want a piece of it.
At the Couvent des Cordeliers yesterday, Valli showed a festive collection true to his ’60s mod-couture style. Where last spring he ran strips of leopard at the bottom of his shift dresses, this season he’s hemmed his white minis in feathers and shimmering silver brocade. More is more with Valli, and he took it even further by adding strips of light pink, lemon yellow, and hot pink florals around dresses and day coats. Wavy little gills were attached at the sides of tops and wrapped around dresses, and when looks weren’t a mash up of cotton candy prints, they were loudly zebra striped. And for some more splashes of color, the designer offered up a fringed coat in a bubble gum pink Ikat print. If that wasn’t enough, models’ arms were stacked past their elbows with serpent cuffs.

Margherita Missoni On Her Favorite Item from Missoni for Target and If a Second Collab Is in the Works
It’s safe to say that we’ve had Missoni on the brain these past few weeks…from the retro-inspired ad campaigns, to the drool-worthy 400-piece lookbook and our frantic shopping spree. Needless to say, when we saw the lovely Margherita Missoni at Charlotte Ronson we had to pick the heiress’s brain about the collection–because if you needed another reminder, it goes on sale TOMORROW.
What was your favorite item from the collaboration?
There is a back and white zig zag coat that I think is really great.
