The Missoni Spring 2021 RTW collection pivoted around an elongated and slightly ’90s silhouette tube tops, midriff-baring mini cardigans, slender body-hugging midi-skirts,, and straight-cut thin-strapped slip dresses.

Discussing her new spring collection, she elaborated, “Since my parents established our house in the ’50s, our collections have never been elaborate or over-designed. Nevertheless, this season I went for even more simplicity and clarity. It came as a spontaneous feel. We are designers and not sociologists; our creativity is what drives us. Although these times call for a heightened sense of responsibility and more engagement on social issues, women—myself included—still desire to be feminine and to express a certain sensuality, even when confined at home.”

Missoni’s typical 3D textures were smoothed and simplified, with plays of horizontal intarsias contrasting the verticality of the lines, a touch of Lurex and fishnet-knitted sequins adding luminosity and sparkle. Missoni paired every outfit with T-strap stilettos, casually wrapped around the ankle with printed foulards. “I’ve found myself looking at high heels in my wardrobe with a feel of longing,” she said. “I can’t wait to wear them again when all this will hopefully be over.”
