Filippo Grazioli riffed on a familiar Missoni repertoire for resort: Silhouettes alternated between the slender and the skintight, patterns jibed with the brand’s popular zigzags and fiammato, and the color palette was restrained yet with a summery feel.
Grazioli favors clean lines while being partial to what he describes as a “gentle sensuality” that the malleable quality of knitwear only emphasizes. Asymmetrical halter tops paired with tight pencil skirts contrasted with fluid separates, as in a laid-back ensemble of trousers and unstructured double-breasted blazer, a roomy jumpsuit, and an elongated shirtdress worn over short-shorts. The cardi, one of Missoni’s most significant templates, was offered in a revisited slender version for easy wearing.
Instead of mixing different graphics in the same outfit, Grazioli went for allover effects of stripes or color-blocking; for variety, he also added evening sparkle to sequined tops and sinuous party dresses with flared skirts.
