Highlight quotes from the webinar:

Angela Missoni: "I was very much impressed, of course, with the design and allure of the building. I am a fanatic of architecture; I have always had an attraction to it. I'm very much fascinated by beautiful clean places because then I can fill them with color. So I need a blank canvas, but a beautiful one... I need a view. I saw this building, and the view you can have from every floor, it's amazing. You can wake up in the morning and feel like you have already meditated, even if you don't meditate. You wake up and say, "Wow, yes, here I am... Miami a livable city where you can have a very good quality of life, and live there all year round while working. For Missoni, it really enhanced the sense that there is a different way of living. You can live with a different approach today, putting your quality of life at the front.

Paris Forino: "The inspiration for the interiors was clean, light, the perfect backdrop to insert the Missoni world... People want articulated spaces where they can have some privacy be on a [virtual] call, so the way we lay space out is changing. It is more pragmatic. I think it's fantastic that in Missoni Baia, there are these beautiful, livable terraces. You can put a whole living room out there and you can open up and enjoy the outdoors and that,wonderful expansive view. We are definitely changing the way we design on every level."

Hani Rashid: "From the very beginning, the whole thinking was to design something on the Edgewater site because of its prominence and because it's on the water's edge that had a real presence, a uniqueness in Miami. The very first discussions were really around the idea to produce something almost musical. demure, elegant, sophisticated, and clean. In that way, put something in the skyline that is in dialogue with the Miami of today and tomorrow... Missoni Baia is not just a clean, beautiful, elegant statement. It's actually a kind of indication of how Miami is maturing; how different people with different talents and skills and creativity can contribute to the future of Miami. This building becomes a litmus test for that... Missoni Baia is a proof of a theorem that, for all of us as creatives in every discipline, it's all going to depend on what we take from this and how we see this correction making things better as we go forward."

Enzo Enea: "Our philosophy is always to begin with the spirit of the place. By understanding the site context and the client's goals of the project, we then work to incorporate architecture... We try to embrace the architecture as much as possible, and to integrate it towards the spaces. Missoni Baia is a jewel box in the garden by incorporating plans with waves of colors, the integration of the fabrics in the furnishings... The building's architecture along with Missoni's brand is contemplative in the shapes, patterns, and spaces designed throughout the project... It's important that Miami embraces the art and culture that has come in; it has a big chance to build up a beautiful city that I think is [already] on the way."

The essence of creativity of Missoni, the legendary Italian fashion house, permeates through the building, slated for completion in late 2020. Located on Miami's waterfront East Edgewater, Missoni Baia silhouette welcomes admiring eyes to its 57 floors and 249 residences. It is the brand’s first-ever residential development.

About the panelists:

Angela Missoni, Creative Director & President of Missoni

The Missoni brand is very much synonymous with the Missoni family. Angela Missoni, the founding couple’s daughter, took over from Rosita as the firm’s creative director in 1997 and now leads the legendary label. As the creative force behind the entire house of Missoni, Angela has taken the company in new directions while remaining true to its heritage. She developed a new way to approach the Missoni image and communications, establishing a new position for the brand in the world of fashion. Angela has initiated new and important collaborations with talents like Carine Roitfeld, Mario Testino, Edward Enninful, Mario Sorrenti, Mert and Marcus, and Juergen Teller, Viviane Sassen, Mark Borthwick and Harley Weir. Most recently she has worked with Oscar-winning Italian director Paolo Sorrentino and actress, model and philanthropist Elisa Sednaoui to launch the latest Missoni fragrance worldwide.

Through the decades, Angela has been involved in projects that focus on reinforcing global awareness of the brand, and the growth of the family business. Amid that work emerged the study of the latest concept for the Missoni boutiques worldwide. For this, Angela worked closely with world-famous architect Patricia Urquiola. Together they created an organic environment that plays on various tones and textures, in order to give maximal visibility to the strong aesthetic of all the Missoni collections, elements of which ultimately become protagonists in a space.

The influential magazine Women’s Wear Daily has praised Missoni’s designs under her creative direction: “Angela Missoni is the scion of a decades-old family dynasty, but she’s still breaking new ground.” Now Angela and OKO Group have come together to bring the singular Missoni style to life in the brand’s first-ever residential development.
