Rosita Missoni, co-founder of iconic fashion house, dies at 93

Rosita Missoni, co-founder of the Missoni fashion house, died at 93. She launched the brand in 1953 with her husband, known for its colorful knitwear and geometric patterns, including the iconic zigzag design. Missoni gained fame after a notable runway incident in 1967, which led to increased media attention. The brand became a symbol of the 'put together' style, moving away from traditional high fashion. She remained creative director until the late 1990s, when her daughter Angela took over. The brand expanded into home collections and hotels, and in 2018, an investment fund acquired a stake to boost international growth.
