Fashion critics have called Missoni eyewear ‘museum pieces you can wear’. The eyewear is known for its creative imagination and intelligent design of acetate frames of unique patterns and bold colours of oranges, yellows, purples and streaky greens, which accentuate the wearer’s personality. The brand has a strong following of celebrities, among them Quincy Jones, Katie Holmes, and Oprah Winfrey. Missoni eyewear is a product of the Italian Missoni fashion house, based in the Italian province of Varese, which is famous for its exquisite knitwear of a huge number of patterns such as stripes, geometrics and abstract florals, in a multitude of colours, and for the liberal use of many different fabrics such as wool, cotton, linen, rayon and silk.
