"It's something
I have in my
character. I always
have the strength
to push myself into
the next gear. If
I'm still able to say
something, I have
to try and say it."
-Angela Missoni
Today's Missoni continues to stay relevant
with frequent artistic collaborations, a
hallmark Angela brought to the table when
she began working with friends and figures
like Juergen Teller, Pedro Almodóvar, and
Jennifer Lopez (with whom she partnered
in 2017 to support the Women's Cancer
Research Fund). Angela also developed
Surface Conversions, a series of installations
at Missoni's New York City flagship, where
Jonas Mekas showed his work shortly
before his passing. She describes herself
as always curious, and credits her small
team with helping her ideas flourish. "My
parents invented a style, which is like a
language, and I allow myself to update it.
When you learn something, you're always
working and learning."
She's also mindful of the changing pace
of the fashion industry, and how her own
nature has helped her keep up with it. "It's
something I have in my character. I always
have the strength to push myself into the
next gear. If I'm still able to say something,
I have to try and say it."
