Missoni to exhibit in London

Italian knitwear pioneers Missoni are to put on a display at the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art in London.
Ottavio and Rosita Missoni, who Vogue claim could be "up there" with the likes of the Gucci and Versace families, will be putting on a display of their products from the last 50 years at the exhibition.
Speaking to Vogue, Rosita said: "Our family have a longstanding love and appreciation of the arts and this is the ideal place to showcase that."
The exhibit will explore the processes by which it takes to create a piece for their collection.
Entitled Workshop Missoni: Daring to be Different, the display will be on show from today (July 1st) until September 20th.
Not happy with only creating clothes, Missoni have in the past branched out into homewear and have even created a hotel in Edinburgh, with Rosita claiming that they came to the city as it has "charm, history, tradition [and] culture," the Telegraph reported.
