From beachfront weddings and patio cookouts to concerts in the park and rooftop cocktail parties, there are plenty of occasions on your social calendar calling for a new pair of shoes. Leather ballet flats in pretty pastels and embellished thong sandals dress up boyfriend jeans and airy caftans alike, while strappy woven espadrilles and embossed stiletto heels are just begging for a night on the dance floor with your sexiest sundress.
Today, it’s world-renowned as a high-end clothing label with an insatiable love of zigzags, luxe knit fabrics, and geometric shapes — but Missoni actually started from very humble beginnings. Founded in the 1950s by Italian husband-and-wife team Ottavio and Rosita Missoni, the company began as a basement studio workshop anchored by two knitting machines and a collection of ideas. Word about Missoni’s bold, innovative patterns gradually spread among the fashion-following public — eventually reaching legendary Vogue editor Diana Vreeland, who promoted the brand in the pages of her magazine. Missoni’s super-stylish footwear complements its dresses, pants, and M Missoni collection by reproducing the iconic zigzag and chevron motifs on flat espadrilles, crochet-paneled wedges, embroidered peep-toe booties, and sky-high heels. Looking for something subtler? Try Missoni’s combat boots in basic brown suede, or white striped canvas sling-backs with lace-up fronts.
