Some collections just lend themselves naturally to the classic idea of
Resort—and Missoni is certainly one. Angela Missoni didn't avoid sensible
daywear—there were boxy, houndstooth-weave coats and shift dresses, crisscrossed
with strips of floral silk, as well as crisp trousers paired with tunic knits.
But mostly it was a collection that made you want to pack a suitcase with, say,
a floral-print tunic dress, scads of iconic zigzag knits, and a beautifully
draped, color-block gown that will only improve when it acquires a sand-crusted
hem.
