Anna Piaggi and Margherita Missoni
Anna Piaggi believed that Missoni clothes were "made with such craft" and when Rosita and Ottavio Missoni founded their label in 1953, following meeting at the 1948 London Olympics, Piaggi was one of the first Italian journalists to support and spread international awareness of the brand, which was still running from the basement of the Missoni's home at the time.
Piaggi's connection with the Missonis continued down generations and she is pictured here with Rosita and Ottavio's grandaughter Margherita Missoni.
Anna Piaggi admitted that, when she was working, one of her biggest indulgences was to wear cut-off Missoni men's gloves "with matching nail varnish".
