Our love for Missoni runs deep. The family-run house—helmed by Angela Missoni who took the reins following her mother, and whose daughter Margherita is being groomed to follow suit—has for decades draped its devotees in knitwear that is unmistakably Missoni.

Donatella turns up the heat season after season. There is no such thing as understated when it comes to Versace, and this season is no exception.
