The exhibition, “Missoni and Titian: Color and Light from the Venetian Renaissance to 20th-Century Fashion,” opened at the Ciliverghe di Mazzano, an hour’s drive from Milan.Curators of the fashion museum have juxtaposed a selection of Missoni’s designs with 16th-century portraits from Tiziano, Tintoretto and Paris Bordon, all of whom based their works on color contrasts and limited use of contours. Some of the paintings are being shown in public for the first time and are themselves a crash course in 16th-century fashion, with models posing in period costumes of elaborate embroidered velvet dresses, wearing their best jewels, strings of pearls and family rings.WWD
