Missoni Makes MORE Magic!

Margherita Missoni - third generation!

While scrolling through my collection of Missoni family pictures from their various ad campaigns, I decided to do a little research (I also decided to make the pics a tad large to show all of the amazing detail!). I have been in LOVE with Missoni since I was about 10-years-old and can even remember the first time I saw a piece of Missoni in person, so my randomly doing this isn't all too random. After reading about the many milestones that occurred for Missoni during its 60 years of history, I came across some interesting and exciting news about the brand that I had surprisingly never heard of! Back in 2005, the plan to have a luxury hotel was born! The company signed an agreement with the Rezidor Hotel Group to create 30 hotels by this year.  Although they are a little behind, (just like I am with hearing about this development), you can now check-in to this lifestyle hotel in Edinburg, Scotland and Salmiya, Kuwait! They're currently in the process of completing hotels in Turkey and Brazil and hope to be open by 2013. It all looks and sounds fantastic except for one thing: make one in America, please and thank you!

Stunning Starlets!

I have thoroughly enjoying reading Edith Head's Hollywood- a glimpse into the exciting life of silver screen's most iconic costume designers. She was one of the very first and by far, the best! I am familiar with many stars from the early days of Tinseltown but some of the names draw a blank...and being the visual person I am, I need a face to go with her juicy stories! Here is a compiled collection of the inspiring/ beautiful pictures I've saved while reading her book.
