OTTAVIO MISSONI has died aged 92. The Missoni co-founder passed away in the early hours of this morning at his home in Italy.
The family announced the news this morning, confirming that he “passed away peacefully”. The date and time of his funeral will be announced soon.
Ottavio started his career as an international athlete but during World War II was made a prisoner of war. After the war had finished, he began creating wool tracksuits - which were worn by the Italian team at the 1948 Olympics in London. It was under the Eros statue in London’s Piccadilly that he first met his wife Rosita. The pair were married in 1953, the same year that they founded their eponymous label, Missoni.
“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.”

Supreme/Nike SB Tennis Classic
The Nike Tennis Classic was originally called the Wimbledon when introduced in 1975, the shoe was renamed in the mid 1980s when it was updated with a cupsole. During the 1980s the shoe was popular amongst tennis greats Jimmy Connors, Billie Jean King, and John McEnroe. Nike SB re-introduced the SB Tennis Classic in 2005 with the addition of a Zoom Air bag in the heel for protection. Zoom Air is Nike’s most responsive, low profile cushioning system.
Supreme and Nike SB will be releasing a new version of the SB Tennis Classic. Designed by Supreme and engineered by Nike, the shoe features Zoom Air technology. The upper body is made of premium leather. The SB Tennis Classic will be released in four colorways made exclusively for Supreme.
