This article provides a brief history of several iconic fabric houses and patterns including Missoni, Marimekko, Ikat and Suzani.
Missoni: Missoni is an Italian fashion house based in Varese, Italy that was founded by Ottavio and Rosita Missoni in 1953. They are famous for their use of a multitude of patterns such as stripes, geometrics, and abstract florals, in a rainbow of colors and the liberal use of many different fabrics such as wool, cotton, linen, rayon and silk.
I love these different designer fabrics. Great post with info!
