MISSONI ’ S

Modern Elegance

New collection features contemporary yet timeless designs
The essence of Missoni – seen in the premium quality of materials , distinctive colour combinations and modern reinterpretations of iconic textures – comes to life in the brand ’ s new eyewear collection for spring / summer 2021 .
Designed , produced and distributed in partnership with Safilo , the collection is enriched by sophisticated designs and superior craftsmanship .
The collection ’ s contemporary yet timeless elegance echoes a ‘ 70s-inspired feeling , mirrored by the oversized squared or rounded shapes , proposed as modern reinterpretations of the frames from the Maison ’ s archives .
Missoni ’ s signature knitted graphic patterns , such as the distinctive ZIG- ZAG , are the distinguishing feature of
MIS 0001 / S
the new collection , enhanced thanks to innovative manufacturing techniques – either with the authentic Missoni fabrics incorporated into the frames or stylized into graphic textures on the lenses , in the interpretation of the shapes or as a block of exclusive acetate on the temple tips .
The new collection includes the limitededition MIS 0041 / N / S acetate sunglasses , which are paired with a made-in- Italy Missoni silk scarf . Hanging on the leather holder , the elegant scarf can be worn tied through the eyelet and styled in multiple ways around your head , neck or shoulders , as a versatile accessory .
