In the grand(ish) tradition of Resort, Missoni dreamed of the Riviera: great French actresses like Jeanne Moreau and Brigitte Bardot sunning themselves in Saint-Tropez. This was a collection as frothy as the seashore. The dominant motif was pleating—tiers of accordion pleats, often layered, with frills between. Tropical flowers made their appearance, too, in crop tops and matching wraps and even a little moto jacket. Missoni has always been good about giving reason upon reason to throw on knits, even in the heat of Resort. Here, there were lightweight matching layers of sundresses and robe coats, jackets and tops. The ombre of Missoni's colors gave a prismatic gorgeousness to the lot.
