| Place of origin |
Since its founding in 1953 the Italian fashion label Missoni established a reputation for striking knitwear in complex patterns and beautiful, rich colour palettes. This has remained their consistent signature.
This coat, designed in 2004, is knitted to resemble a multicoloured patchwork with accent stitching connecting the 'patches.' While many 21st-century designers and brands place their logo visibly upon their garments, the intricate knitted pattern of a Missoni garment is its own signature.
