Missoni and Converse have already unveiled some great Fall/Winter 2012 shoes that are definite contenders for sneakers of the year, but noticeably absent from that preview was the Chuck Taylor. The two have released a few already that were definite hits, so we figured it was only a matter of time for more to surface. Well, Tres Bien has presented a nice glimpse of what will be the latest Chuck Taylor from the two and we must say we’re feeling ‘em. How do these fare against the other 2 Missoni x Converse shoes we showed you earlier?

Take another look after the jump.

The partnership between Converse and Missoni has yielded some very memorable footwear, namely the Chuck Taylors the two have produced. This time around, 2 different sneakers, the Pro Leather and Auckland Racer, have been worked on for the Autumn/Winter 2012 season by the famed brands. The Pro Leather continues to utilize Horween Chromexcel leather, which we have seen recently with a couple of hi versions of the shoe. The Auckland Racer turned out amazing with its complex blend of patterns and colors making it a must pick up when it drops in October of this year.

Take a closer look at both sneakers after the jump.

Italian fashion house Missoni recently opened its second hotel in the rather unexpected location of Kuwait. The design hotel is heavily inspired by the signature colors and patterns of the brand, which can be found all through out the hotel.

“Inspired by the Arabian Gulf and Kuwaiti culture, Rosita Missoni, the hotel’s Creative Director, combined nearly 10 million individual mosaic tiles to create their signature zig-zag stripes throughout the property.”

For our taste at times a little much, we do appreciate the stylish and positive atmosphere that can be found in the hotel, thanks to the many colors and patterns used.

Take a tour through the hotel after the jump.

Last week the new exhibition”One Size Fits All” opened its doors in Milan during Fashion Week. Envisioned and organized by former graffiti artist Ivano Atzori aka Dumbo, he brought together some of the world’s most recognized fashion designers and fashion houses to each design a mask for the exhibition. The inspiration of the project comes from Ivano’s days as a graffiti writer. The mask was his main tool to ensure his anonymity. Thus he asked Haider Ackermann, Vivienne Westwood, Missoni, Alessandro Dell’Aqua of N.21, Neil Barrett, Raf Simons, Ennio Capasa, Riccardo Tisci and Bernhald Willhelm to customize and create their own versions of his mask. The opening took place at the Palazo Morando and of course drew in quite the crowd.

We take a first look at the collaboration between Missoni and Converse for Fall/Winter 2010. Unlike their first joined work earlier this year, the upcoming collaboration on the Chuck Taylor Hi seems to do a little more justice to the Italian high fashion brand. The high top sneaker comes with a Missoni signature pattern all over the upper, including the toe cap. The lining, tongue and other small details come in premium tanned leather. Hopefully we can soon show you more from this project. Via Love.
