Missoni Exhibit in London

While most designers claim that their work is their art, Ottavio (Tai) and Rosita Missoni truly lived up to that motto. The fashion duo and real life couple founded the famous knitwear line back in 1953 and the family controlled empire has continued to push the style envelope ever since.

Now, the Estorick Collection in London is commemorating their contributions to the art and fashion worlds in a new exhibit--"Workshop Missoni: Daring to be Different." The show pairs Missoni's designs with futurist pieces from the collection of famed art enthusiast, Eric Estorick.

What's more is that Luca Missoni, the couple's son, will be curating the event. “As a curator of Tai and Rosita’s work, I wanted to show not just a family story, but how they shocked the world in the late ’60s and ’70s,” he said.

If you want to check out the exhibit, it runs until September 20th.
