I will have to write this down for him though. I am just nuts about the way they use color. It's really something special. They also make lovely dessert plates. *sighs* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-esque-knits#post-211842 Tue, 07 Sep 2010 18:23:33 +0000 Vix 211842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Scarlet. I loved the cardiwrap I had made in the fabric so much I ended up going for the skirt 6 months later.</p> <p>[I don't wear them together, though! And I usually wear the skirt with sedate brown, but I was challenging myself to do all color-color, ha.] </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-esque-knits#post-211157 Mon, 06 Sep 2010 16:59:46 +0000 Scarlet 211157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vix, that skirt is dreamy *swooning*</p> <p>Thinking cap is on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-esque-knits#post-211080 Mon, 06 Sep 2010 16:10:14 +0000 Vix 211080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesssssss. Though you have to watch for the knockoffs there, too, reputable fabric stores won't say "Missoni" on the bolt if it ain't. </p> <p>I've seen *cough bought cough* both their iconic chevrons and space dye, as well as more muted patterns. </p> <p>Of course they have levels within levels of fabric quality, but I routinely look at the Missoni at Saks/Nordstrom and my demi-sheer chevron definitely looks and feels like what they sell.</p> <p>Now with the brand itself you're paying for the fabric and often intricate -- but sometimes not-so-intricate -- construction. [$1000 resort caftans, I'm looking at you.]</p> <p>As one who skews fairly minimalist but is trying to branch out a hair, a little Missoni goes a LONG way. </p> <p>So I keep things simple and just try to enjoy the house's amazing sense of color without obsessing about recreating an item. [Good thing, since one of the textiles that I wear on my chest seems to have started life as a home decor item, ha!]</p> <p>I want you to seriously think about seeing what's out there, Ms S! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-esque-knits#post-211020 Mon, 06 Sep 2010 15:25:24 +0000 Scarlet 211020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They sell off their extra fabric??? Heavens, I am salivating. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-esque-knits#post-211015 Mon, 06 Sep 2010 15:19:43 +0000 Vix 211015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that knockoff is really nice -- sorry the sizing didn't work out for you. </p> <p>I've been seeing lots of wool jersey and other knits in spendy lines, so hopefully you'll continue to see more "inspired by" pieces in the stores.</p> <p>Also, last year was an especially good year for Missoni in terms of critical praise, so buyers may have overstocked a little -- maybe keep an eye out on the "luxe" sites for major, major markdowns of the real thing?</p> <p>[And as a final possibility, Missoni sells off its extra fabric. Given your European location, you may have access to some of the nicest stuff via your fabric stores (B&amp;M or online); maybe you should explore getting something made! </p> <p>I've had several more simple things created from their various textiles and love them...especially as its the only way I will be wearing Missoni, ha.] </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-esque-knits#post-210950 Sun, 05 Sep 2010 20:20:46 +0000 Debora 210950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't been shopping much lately, but I'll keep a look-out for you. That's a lovely dress and I hope you can find one you like! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-esque-knits#post-210949 Sun, 05 Sep 2010 19:52:49 +0000 Jenava 210949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these types of knits have been popular for a while. I got my mom and blue wrap dress of similar look a few years ago at the Nordstrom Rack. I think if you keep looking you'll find something.</p> <p>That dress is very pretty, BTW. The colors are really nice together. Too bad it didn't fit... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-esque-knits#post-210945 Sun, 05 Sep 2010 18:46:58 +0000 Scarlet 210945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been noticing Missoni-esque knits in the stores, and I would really like to get something like this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.soliver.de/Kleid/11%2e008%2e82%2e2230,default,pd.html?cgid=wo_ko_kl_business" rel="nofollow">http://www.soliver.de/Kleid/11.....l_business</a></p> <p>Unfortunately I was swimming in even the smallest size, and since it is knit there is really nothing to do about that :(</p> <p>Has anyone else been noticing this trend? </p>
