After meeting at the 1948 Olympic Games in London, Rosita and Ottavio Missoni married in 1953.

In Milan, they started a knitwear company and premiered their collections in the mid-60's. Their designs have become famous for their colorful palettes on luxurious and wide-ranging fabrics, and their successful business has been passed down to Rosita's and Ottavio's three children.

Story of a Modern Eccentric who adores the Play of Contrasts, the continuous swing of changes and contradictions, provided that, above all, the winners are: pleasure of frivolity, freedom of being fickle, a sensuousness of materials, identifacation of prints, excess of accessories, from an ironic Stetson hat to shoes, bags, borselli and temperamental shades.
