Alberto Caliri doesn’t believe in change for its own sake. His work as Missoni’s creative director is guided by the idea of evolution: collections develop through continuity, preserving recurring shapes while reinterpreting them in new materials. “For me, it’s a healthy creative approach, one that gives collections longevity and respects lovers of the Missoni universe, who may enjoy mixing pieces from past seasons and rediscovering their favorite items in new versions.”
The dialogue between masculine and feminine has always been woven into the brand’s history, born from the shared vision of Rosita and Ottavio Missoni. From this duality, staples like the cardigan, one of Ottavio’s signatures, have evolved into softer, more fluid iterations. This season, Caliri introduced cashmere crafted in rashel and caperdoni stitches, used for coats and soft, pajama-like suits imbued with a relaxed flair featuring blazers that maintain the ease of knitwear yet convey a sartorial attitude. Caliri noted that this soft tailoring owes much to the new wave of men’s suiting, which has embraced a more deconstructed approach.
This soft, sensual spirit carries into eveningwear, where seduction meets sparkle but never at the expense of comfort. Dresses slip on with the ease of a beloved T-shirt, yet trace the body with a slinky, glimmering confidence. They reveal just enough—proof that allure doesn’t need to rely on discomfort. At Missoni, even glamour is designed to breathe.
