Missoni Zigzag Twizy

Missoni is putting its iconic signature print on this car! Its kind of a Twizy, but its the only car in the world customized by Missoni, and sold at auction for 130,000 CHF in Switzerland in support of the Action Innocence cause- to protect children's dignity and integrity online.



This isn't the first charity campaign by the Missoni brand, earler efforts include the Pudsey Teddy Bear.


To raise funds for BBC Children in Need's charity projects, the classic Missoni fabrics in bright colours were used to make this lovable bear.



Quite sad, the design icon Ottavio Missoni died last month at the age of 92. He started his fashion atelier with his wife Rosita and created his famous zigzag fabric patterns using his skills on simple graph paper.



His zigzag legacy still lives on and remains a central part of the Missoni brand.
