Today has died at the age of 92 years, the legendary entrepreneur: Ottavio Missoni.
In the history of the entrepreneur, born in 1921 in Ragusa, there is a past sports. Before meeting his wife and concentrate on fashion, in fact, Missoni wore the blue shirt in the specialty of the 400-meter dash and the 400 meter hurdles, finishing sixth also at the London Olympics of 1948, after the Second World War, the conflict that saw locked up for four years in a prison camp in Egypt.
At that point Rosita Missoni has already met the woman who would become his wife. The pair joins forces and expertise in the world of fabrics, shawls and embroidery factory in the province of Varese of her family and a knitting workshop in Trieste him. In the early fifties the couple decides to start an activity together in Gallarate in a shed for rent, then move the entire production to Sumirago, which becomes the headquarters of Missoni. From that moment on Missoni clothes start to appear in fashion magazines, and be known for its knits, which still are the hallmark of the brand.
The disappearance of the eldest son Victor in January 2013, he scored, and he could not rightly be at peace because of this tragedy that has not yet been answered.
We like to imagine him with his love of life, his strength ... teach the angels to color the clouds .... just because its colored lines, the 'uniqueness and loads of its colors that has always characterized the Missoni ... will always be a piece of Made in Italy ...
Thanks Ottavio ...
Bye....
With love...
