Rosita Missoni, the acclaimed Italian fashion designer, has died at the age of 93.
She co-founded the Missoni knitwear brand in 1953 with her husband, Ottavio, and was celebrated for her vibrant use of color.
Missoni was pivotal in promoting the Italian ready-to-wear industry during the 1950s and 60s, becoming synonymous with the zigzag motif.
The couple faced challenges, including a temporary ban from a fashion show after controversial runway presentations, yet they persevered with their signature designs.
Missoni is survived by her children and grandchildren, who remain involved in the family business, solidifying her enduring influence in fashion.
