The memory of a man, athlete, artist, fashion designer, a friend who passed away eight years ago but it seems like yesterday. He created an eternal, timeless fashion which time makes even more desirable.

Ottavio Missoni would have turned 100 on February 11th. For friends, for those who have known him, he’ll remain forever a young athlete who made it to Olympics, an artist who knew how to obtain exciting mix-and-match from wool as beautiful as tapestries and fabrics, a sportsman for life, an open minded man who, even well advanced in years, captured people with his charm and vitality. But also an entrepreneur surrounded by children, grandchildren and friends, who lived with his wife Rosita in a countryside garden-house and from there created his fashion and his legend. For those who have not known him, for the younger ones, the Ma*Ga museum in Gallarate paid him homage by celebrating his centenary with a new set-up by Luca Missoni and Angelo Jelmini of "Sala Arazzi Ottavio Missoni"...
