Missoni Resort 2026 Collection
Alberto Caliri sees Missoni's rhythmic interplays of patterns and zingy chromatic combinations as anything but static. For him, the brand's patrimony is not only distinctive but alive, and endlessly regenerative: 'There's a sort of Missoni-ty encapsulated in every piece,' he notes, 'something that feels familiar yet instinctive, dynamic.' Although he knows the archive by heart, or maybe because of that, he's expanding what he calls 'a palimpsest of textures,' conjuring new patterns and motifs with yarns never used before, or energizing existing ones with the gently nuanced and artistic palette he favors. His partner-in-craft is the Raschel knitting machine—a before-technology multi-tasking wonder that's the house's secret weapon to fashion everything from elasticated lace to hand-crochet effects, to tartan windowpanes or zig-zags. 'After all the years we've been using it, we haven't explored its full potential yet,' he remarked. Caliri's quiet confidence mirrors his design approach. For resort, he focused on easy pieces and lean silhouettes, inflected with what he described as 'a subtle bourgeois vibe, slightly masculine.' It's continuity with a twist: 'Missoni is about passing down pieces from mother to daughter,' he said, 'because they're inherently timeless, like family heirlooms.' Polo shirts that stretched into minidresses; soft, malleable three-piece suits; sensual, slender halter dresses dusted with micro-sequins and lined with unexpected knitted-in stripes—they were all designed to slip together easily, each conjuring that unmistakable Missoni-ty he was talking about.

Delta Airlines Reveals Plans to Broaden Luxury Appeal This Summer
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Delta Airlines is upping the appeal of its most premium cabin with a fresh amenity kit and bedding, designed in partnership with Italian label Missoni. The Delta One branded seats, available on Boeing 767, Airbus A350 and Airbus A330 planes flown by the U.S.-based carrier, are the company's priciest offering. The company recently rebranded its seat categories: Delta Main (formerly Main Cabin), Delta Comfort (formerly Delta Comfort+), Delta First (Formerly First Class), Delta Premium Select and Delta One. Delta One seats provide each customer direct aisle access in addition to bed-like recline functionality and a variety of seating positions including a recliner-like leg rest. In an effort to refine its Delta One offerings, Delta conducted research and studied customer feedback to better understand its clients' sleep experiences. The hardness of seats, even those that recline flat into a bed, is a common pain point for many customers on long-haul flights. "In travel, every moment matters – not just where you're going, but how you get there," said Mauricio Parise, vice president of brand experience at Delta, in a press release. "We want you to savor your time in the air, which is why we are intentional about each detail of the customer experience to create a sense of home in every space, which is instantly elevated with Missoni's iconic, signature designs." The Missoni fashion label is noted for its use of color and patterns, which is reflected in the new kits and bedding. It has been nearly a year since the airline launched its partnership with Missoni, bringing new amenity kit design to flights globally. Now, a new kit debuts. It features similar offerings but in a classic cosmetics case shape rather than the firm rectangular kit offered today. Inside, it includes blue or cream Missoni crew-length socks, an eye mask, a pen with metal accents and Delta One branding, Grown Alchemist skincare products, a Bamboo toothbrush, Mavis toothpaste and earplugs. "In crafting the next generation of our amenity kit we embraced our signature artistry, blending patterns, textures and hues to create a kit that's distinct, enduring, and designed to suit your lifestyle beyond your time on the plane," said Alberto Caliri, Missoni creative director in a press release. Missoni branded slippers will be introduced to Delta One flights later this year, replacing the gray slippers currently available in the cabin. The carrier's bedding is also getting a refresh. Delta One travelers will now have access to a Missoni duvet and white sleeping pillow, which features a zigzag design with navy accents. Delta will also expand its mattress pad availability to any flights over 12 hours and add a memory foam cuddle pillow. United's Polaris premium offering has a cuddle pillow similar to what Delta will offer but not a mattress pad. The new Delta One bedding set will launch on international flights this summer and will be rolled out across all Delta One flights by the end of 2025. Delta flies some Delta One routes between its East and West Coast hubs.

Missoni announces residential real estate project in Portugal
Missoni is premièring on the Portuguese real estate market with Aroeira Collections by Missoni, a residential and tourism project developed in collaboration with Norfin SGOIC, one of the leading real estate investment firms in Portugal. Work on the project, for a total planned investment of €200 million, is scheduled to begin in Q3 2025, with completion by 2027. 'Bringing Missoni's aesthetics to life in a residential space was an exciting challenge. We wanted to create an environment that embodied our brand's distinctive art while maintaining a link with the surrounding landscape,' said Alberto Caliri, creative director of Missoni. The residential complex, an exclusive coastal oasis on the southern shore of the Costa da Caparica, is located in Aroeira, just 30 minutes south of Lisbon, and extends over 350 hectares. The centrepiece will be the Aroeira Collections Hotel, featuring 138 one and two-bedroom suites, 40 two and three-bedroom residential apartments, 24 two to four-bedroom homes, and 28 villas with three to five-bedroom configurations. The complex will also include a PGA championship golf course, a health club, two swimming pools, tennis and padel courts, a restaurant, children's play areas, and a reception desk open 24 hours a day. 'Aroeira Collections by Missoni redefines the concept of luxury residential properties with its unique fusion of fashion, design and architecture, curated by Alberto Caliri and renowned Portuguese architects Ana Costa, João Favila Meneses and Pedro Domingos. The complex has been developed with the utmost respect for the natural environment, maximising the play of light and shadow, and ensuring that the properties integrate harmoniously within the landscape. The interiors will feature Missoni's iconic patterns and vibrant colours in a blend of timeless elegance, paying tribute to Portuguese design through the recreation of Atelier Daciano da Costa's furniture,' Missoni said in a press release. The project's green design is in line with ESG principles and with the EU taxonomy for sustainable business activities: Native plant species will be used for landscaping, without importing earth from elsewhere, and the hotel's construction will follow the LEED certification criteria for sustainable buildings.
