Missoni — Snob or Slob?

Katie.JPGIs it just me or does anyone else long for the days of gorgeous Missoni pieces? Back when I was in High School I used to pass the Madison Avenue Missoni store everyday on my way to class and I remember always being in awe of the lovely mannequins decked-out in head-to-toe Missoni. These days it seems that like Pucci, the only good Missoni pieces left are vintage. I know poor Katie Holmes has been getting a lot of flack lately, but look at that skirt! If I didn’t know it was Missoni I’d think it was a hoochie K-Mart buy. Check-out some of the house’s recent pieces and let me know if you agree! I have to admit though I do love their shoes (especially the touch of signature-Missoni on the top of the heel!).

  1. Hey Sharon

    I must say the shortness of that skirt does not look very Missoni. I have a few pieces from they love there 2 pieces and some of the knit dresses, but the price has suddenly hiked up and I don’t thinkthe quality is what it was!? Do you know the reason behind this?

  2. Is that Katie Holmes? She certainly hasn’t got Kate Moss’s legs! For me, it’s only vintage Missoni that counts, it’s too mainstream these days.

  3. I am loving the M Missoni collection for fall 08′! They have a lot of cute dresses and skirts. It seems a lot younger and more fun then Missoni. Katie’s skirt is OK. I have seen better.
