In the world of fashion, where creativity meets dynamism, the collaboration between Missoni Sport and Mike Maignan, the renowned goalkeeper of AC Milan and the French national soccer team, has sparked a new wave of excitement. This partnership has birthed a unique capsule collection that seamlessly blends the world of sport and style.
Missoni Sport, a brand known for its concept of leisure and dynamism, has found a perfect partner in Mike Maignan. The collaboration has resulted in a collection that reflects the brand’s ethos and Maignan’s unique personality. The capsule includes tracksuits, cardigans, hoodies, and sweatshirts, all designed with an iridescent metallic palette of green, titanium, and carbon. This unique color scheme adds a chromatic evolution to each item, making them stand out in a crowd.
The collection also features Missoni‘s iconic zigzag motif, either in a crescendo of visual intensity or with a shaded effect that adds a shiny texture. This pattern, according to Maignan, is “iconic and discreet at the same time“, reflecting his personality and role. The collection is a testament to Maignan’s commitment, overall view, and enthusiasm, qualities that he believes define his work.
Missoni Sport’s CEO, Livio Proli, has praised Maignan for his engaging personality and determination, which instill confidence and positivity. Proli believes that these qualities are not only reflective of Maignan as a person and a professional but also align perfectly with the message that the collection aims to communicate.
The collaboration between Missoni and Maignan is not just about creating a fashion line; it’s about narrating the different nuances of exclusive sportswear and celebrating core values such as personality and passion. The collection’s garments, defined by Caperdoni workmanship and relaxed, contemporary shapes, allow freedom of movement and perfectly fit the concept of dynamism, both urban and sporty.
The world of sports has always been intrinsically linked to Missoni, thanks to the Olympic career of its co-founder, Ottavio Missoni. Known as Tai, he made the Italian national team at the age of 16 and held the national 400-meter record for a 16-year-old until his death in 2013. Missoni Sport was first launched in 1985 under the creative direction of Luca Missoni, Tai’s son. This collection, therefore, is a continuation of the brand’s long-standing connection with sports.
The Mike Maignan x Missoni Sport capsule is now available at Missoni’s online store and in selected boutiques.
