Joyful spirit, boundless creativity, infinite care. Rosita Missoni's life has been as full of challenges and achievements, in the forms of threads, of colours, of shapes that she pieced together to give life to a unique point of view. Her steadfast diligence and exacting attention to detail that anchored her visionary creativity, and that of her husband Ottavio, enabling it to transcend the realm of fashion and leave an indelible mark on the lives of those who chose, wore, and became part of the extended Missoni family. As we offer our heartfelt condolences to her family, we celebrate her extraordinary journey and thank her for the kaleidoscopic beauty she brought into this world. https://shorturl.at/ITnpy https://shorturl.at/8PSvu https://shorturl.at/xIOaJ https://shorturl.at/CQ4PF

It's (almost) a wrap on 2024! This year has been full of exciting experiences and projects, taking us into new areas—from exploring AI and cultural heritage, tackling language bias, to experimenting with 3D technologies to protect, study, and celebrate fashion heritage. It’s been a year of challenges and achievements, and we’re so excited to see how the community will grow in 2025. Thank you for being part of our journey—here’s to many more adventures together!

Just wrapped up two insightful days at the EFHA Workshop on 3D Digitisation Practices in Fashion Heritage, organised by EFHA and hosted by Centro di Ricerca Gianfranco Ferré and the Missoni Archive. The experience was an inspiring look into how advanced digital tools are reshaping how we preserve and share fashion history. Day 1 took us through Ferré’s legacy, where we explored digitization techniques that capture the intricate details of his work. Highlights included Modemuze’s structured approach to 3D workflows and the #5DCulture project—both expanding how we engage with fashion heritage, as well as MoMu - Fashion Museum Antwerp and d_archive digitisation of Momu’s study collection and Dylan Eno and Finn van Tol’s experimentations in digitising different materials and surfaces. On Day 2, Luca Missoni guided us through the Missoni Archive and Factory. From witnessing weaving machines in action to hands-on loom workshops at Museo MA*GA, it was a powerful reminder of the art and craft at the heart of Missoni. These experiences underlined how essential it is to combine digital craftsmanship with traditional techniques to make fashion heritage accessible for future generations.
