NEW LOOK

The fashion runways and home

interiors have always had a lot in

common. The trends from your

wardrobe, sooner or later, find

themselves splashed about your

house. So it’s no surprise that

more fashion designers are ex-

panding their brand and capital-

izing on their esthetic with

home collections.

But as the list of designers-

turned-interior decorators

grows, a few of these fashion

brands get lost in translation.

Let’s just say some designers’

distinctive signatures and brand

identities seem more tailor-

made than others for the home

arena. (Can you picture what

bedsheets from the über-hot

but difficult-to-wear label Ba-

lenciaga might look like?)

But one contender whose

strong fashion vision seems just

right for home décor, is the ven-

erable Italian label Missoni.

Known for its colourful graph-

ic print knits, the family busi-

ness actually started in textiles a

century ago, providing home

furnishings like linens, sheets

and hand embroideries. It

wasn’t until almost 50 years lat-

er that it entered the fashion do-

main, with T-shirt designs.

And those famous zigzags and

lines were born. But it was no

major design feat. The knitting

machines back when they start-

ed the company couldn’t do any-

thing else but simple stripes.

Today, those knitwear prints

prove to be architecturally

pleasing lines — they work won-

ders on small spaces by giving

the illusion of height and width.

Returning to their roots a few

years ago with a home décor

line, the company has just

launched Missoni Home in

Canada. The 2007 collection

features an expansive lineup

that includes textiles for uphol-

stery for sofas, home linens,

rugs and furnishings. The home

collection also takes the compa-

ny’s rich mosaic of colours to the

outdoors with fabrics that can

be used for cushions, ham-

mocks and patio furniture that

would be perfect for upscale cot-

tage country or to add some

glam to a poolside deck.

But lest you think it’s all about

those famous eye-popping col-

our bars, less adventurous home

decorators can find other pat-

terns such as herringbone, plaid

and some luscious florals. This

cacophony of prints can be an-

chored by the range of solids al-

so offered in the line.

And it looks like this colourful

fashion company’s brand will be

further expanded. Up next on

the design horizon: Hotel Mis-

soni. The company will be

launching its first hotels in Du-

bai and Edinburgh by next year.

Lovers of Italian design can al-

so look forward to Fendi, when

the fashion powerhouse launch-

es its home line in Canada later

this year.
