Feel It

>> I'm keeping press day tidbits itty bitty and digestible and to be honest when dealing with Missoni's S/S 11 collection which was a cacophony of kitsch, colour and global trekking, I'm honing it down.  It was a collection that drove a bit love/hate divide as I've noticed for a lot of people.  Broken down though into individual pieces though where the blocky flat shapes don't give you a sensory overload, I have to say that I'm in the 'Love' camp.  I'm focusing though on the eye candy that the mere accessories and shoes already proffer up before I even attempt to tackle the clothing that I think needs physical playing around with as opposed to digesting the total looks which is a tall task for most… 

Behold shoes that fall in line a lot of the walkable, raised platforms, Far East-whiff shoes that S/S 11 is full of but given the zany zig zags and stripes that only Missoni can do as well as the intentionally hilarious text figurative beading -  who doesn't what 'Boogaloo' on a shoe?

The err…. word 'art' carries on to the jewellery where I'm continually reminded of the sort of t-shirts that I see in Asia where the text makes no sense whatsoever but they seem to love using English for the sake of it being English.  Well, I suppose 'Get your waistline round the bassline' makes complete sense but I can't read it as anything but an in-joke or a pastiche of a certain genre of mottos/figures of speech…

Triple rings with 'tude… well, if Missoni puts 'Boom' and 'Wild' 'Thing' on their rings, I can therefore cheesily shorten attitude…

Back to more 'familiar' and most probably popular Missoni territory are these watches which are a collaboration with Toy Watch which I think are being released in December…

  1. Oh god, I can’t even begin to say how much I want a bracelet with an obscure motto on it. I think its the bright colours combined with the beading, they’re epic.

  2. I can’t make up my mind on this, I don’t think I wear most of it now but in the 90’s my 10 year self would have been all over it. I get a friendship bracelet feel and the rings seem like they’d appeal to pairs of friends, each with their half, kind of like those BFF necklaces that come in pairs where each pendant is half a heart. It all feels very 90’s, stirs up some memories!

  3. One vote for the hate it camp I’m afraid. I don’t like Marmite either, could this be linked? Strongly dislike the watches too. Just boring Toy watch faces stuck on strips of Missoni fabric. That collaboration must have taken all of 10 minutes…
