Ganchillo colorido - Colourful crochet

Me gustan las prendas de la firma italiana Missoni, su uso del color y texturas, pero siempre en punto nunca a ganchillo. Y mira por donde hoy encontre esta chaqueta y vestido, a la venta en net-a-porter. Fotos de net-a-porter.

The italian fashion house Missoni is a favorite of mine, because of their use of colour, texture and shape. I thought they only produced knit pieces, I was wrong, today I discovered some crochet items with their trademark use of colour and zig-zag pattern. On sale at net-a-porter.

Una de mis prendas favoritas es un chaleco que me regaló la madre de un amigo, echo por ella misma. Esta tejido a ganchillo utilizando restos de lana en anillos rodeando unas estrellas/flores negras, los motivos unidos por una hebra de rayon amarillo. Por su colorido y formas me recuerda el estilismo de Missoni.


One of my favorite garments is an italian waistcoat that I got as a present from the mother of a friend. She made it using yarn scraps, crochetted in rings some of them interlocked others joined toguether with some yellow rayon thread. The shapes and colours used remind me of Missoni.
