Missoni on Display

Ever since the exhibit of Vivienne Westwood at the De Young, and then Yves Saint Laurent's incredible display at the same museum in Golden Gate Park, I have been anxiously awaiting yet another fusion of couture and culture...and although it lies approximately 5371 miles away, London has now hopped on the bandwagon; The Estorick Gallery in North London is holding an exhibit entitled "Workshop Missoni: Daring to be Different". 

"Daring to be Different" displays rows of faceless mannequins donning brightly colored, zippy striped and patterned articles of clothing that have come to be so synonymous with the house of Missoni. Not only is there a "fashion through the years" timeline of the Missoni dynasty, the exhibit also brings it close to home, boasting early watercolors painted by Luca Missoni herself when she was about 7 years old.

Looks dope. Wish I could go...but until then I'll just stay in bed.
