Missoni

This amazing piece of "wearable art", a Missoni coat, is in the V&A's costume gallery. Missoni is a husband and wife team whose trademark is fabulous knits in unique patterns, often zigzag stripes - they started 50 years ago and have passed the business to their daughter, according to a quick skim of Google (isn't the internet educational?).
Only for the brave, is my opinion. But I've been enjoying my new Missoni bath towel, spotted at John Lewis's sale, thanks to an idea planted by Sally as we walked over there after work one evening.
