On Stage Design Indaba 2015: Rosita Missoni

The co-founder of iconic fashion brand Missoni took to the Design Indaba stage to talk about a life dedicated to fashion, the love that informed her work and the creative geniuses behind the world-renowned, internationally acclaimed company.

With a shared passion for design, Rosita Missoni and her husband Ottavio co-founded Missoni. Their business started as a small 100 square metre factory, which would grow into an internationally acclaimed fashion powerhouse. On the dynamic that led to their meteoric rise, Missoni jokes: “Ottavio was the creator, but I created him.”

Rosita Missoni talks about the love for her family as the driving force behind her success. The Missoni matriarch, who "cannot stay away from colour", zigzagged her way from knitwear to a home collection to hotel interior design.
