Missoni Meets Ndebele




I'm constantly amazed at how artists can take one thing and turn it into their own unique style. For the Resort 2011 collection, Missoni has blended what appears to be Ndebele ("tribal" or just "African" in the fashion world because why waste energy getting into the specifics of the gazillion tribes that exist on the continent and provide a constant source of inspiration for designers around the globe?!) motifs into 1960s styling while maintaining the distinct Missoni look. Obviously, I would happily rock any of these looks!
