Remembering Ottavio Missoni

Ottavio Missoni

Ottavio Missoni 1990

“I’ve never done what was fashionable,” he told WWD in February 2011. “I didn’t want to work with preset schemes, and I paint my own way. I ended up in fashion by chance, I would never have imagined it.”

Los Angeles Fashion PR firm, P3R Publicity was sad to hear the news that Missoni co-founder, Ottavio Missoni, 92, died this morning at his home in Italy. To honor the memory of the designer who revolutionized textile patterns and created a fashion empire founded on a shoestring in 1950s, P3R takes a look at some of our favorite Missoni looks.

Women’s Wear Daily Features Faraone Mennella’s Store Opening in Capri

Roberto Faraone Mennella and Amedeo Scognamiglio are the award-winning designer’s behind FARAONE MENNELLA by RFMAS. Inspired by their classical Italian heritage the two New York-based jewelers returned to Italy to opened their first store in Capri today and Women’s Wear Daily highlighted the grand step.

“Capri is the place where everything started,” said Roberto Faraone Mennella. “As Neapolitans, we spent our summers on the island, where our families have their holiday houses.”

“Our heritage is well-grounded in Capri where since childhood we have been influenced by its aesthetics, with bold colors and bejeweled ladies,” added Amedeo Scognamiglio.

Along with the “Signature” and the “Couture” collections, the store will carry a special line called “Viva Capri,” which includes gold rings, charms, bracelets and maxi earrings, in a tribute to the Sixties, Capri’s most glorious decade. This is just the beginning for the two, as they plan to expand to Milan and Brazil! Congrats!

Defining Bobo House: Eloise Lapidus Talks to Women’s Wear Daily

Hot off the press! Today’s issue of Women’s Wear Daily featured P3R client, Eloise Lapidus of Bobo House. The acclaimed fashion publication praised Eloise’s Bobo House collection, a perfect combination of “dainty with sophistication.” As daughter of legendary French designer, Ted Lapidus, Eloise’s keen fashion sense has been instilled in her ever since childhood. Eloise cites that the best advice she ever received from her father was to “design from the streets,” which is exactly where the inspiration for Bobo House comes from, the streets of Paris and Los Angeles. Her collection is comprised of classic pieces that are romantic with an effortlessly chic appeal.
