Missoni
From a small workshop to a big brand
In 1953, in a small workshop in their home in Gallarate, Ottavio Missoni and his wife Rosita Jelmini founded the Missoni company. It was there that the first colorful knitwear was born and where they created a company that would revolutionize the Italian knitwear.
He was an Italian athletics champion in 400 meters and already owned a business dedicated to sportswear and Rosita had developed expertise in household linen. With the both knowledge, they decided to combine their skills and in 1958 they presented their first collection which immediately received several orders and became famous.
