Missoni -- Snob or Slob?

Katie.JPGIs it just me or does anyone else long for the days of gorgeous Missoni pieces? Back when I was in High School I used to pass the Madison Avenue Missoni store everyday on my way to class and I remember always being in awe of the lovely mannequins decked-out in head-to-toe Missoni. These days it seems that like Pucci, the only good Missoni pieces left are vintage. I know poor Katie Holmes has been getting a lot of flack lately, but look at that skirt! If I didn't know it was Missoni I'd think it was a hoochie K-Mart buy. Check-out some of the house's recent pieces and let me know if you agree! I have to admit though I do love their shoes (especially the touch of signature-Missoni on the top of the heel!).

  • Hey Sharon

    I must say the shortness of that skirt does not look very Missoni. I have a few pieces from they love there 2 pieces and some of the knit dresses, but the price has suddenly hiked up and I don't thinkthe quality is what it was!? Do you know the reason behind this?

  • love missoni but it is everywhere now and lost its appeal for me.

  • I've never been a real Missoni fan in general and this skirt is another reason why.

  • I am going with Michelle here, this skirt is a disaster but the shoes are hot!

  • Is that Katie Holmes? She certainly hasn't got Kate Moss's legs! For me, it's only vintage Missoni that counts, it's too mainstream these days.

  • I am loving the M Missoni collection for fall 08'! They have a lot of cute dresses and skirts. It seems a lot younger and more fun then Missoni. Katie's skirt is OK. I have seen better.
