Angela Missoni has quit as creative
director of the storied fashion house her parents created last
century, sources said Wednesday.
For the first time in 68 years, they said, a Missoni will not be
crafting the maison's collections.
Missoni issued a statement saying that "she has taken a step
back so we can embrace a millennial clientele and give room to a
third chapter in the maison, initiated last may with the arrival
of new managing director Livio Proli and the 20221-2025 plan to
relaunch (the house), backed by the shareholders".
Missoni is a luxury fashion house based in Varese, and known for
its colorful knitwear designs. The company was founded by
Ottavio ("Tai") and Rosita Missoni in 1953.
