Ama-cloister asendulo abandayo lapho lo mbukiso wethulwa khona afakwe ngokukhethekile ungqimba oluqinile lwamaqabunga ama-humus-anuka, afile ekwindla—i-famiglia Missoni kumelwe ukuba ibiwagcina endaweni yokugcina ngoKhisimusi. Lapho umoya uvunguza baphonswa phezulu efwini elinesiyezi, elihle, elingaphumuli. Kwakukhona ifu elinesiyezi elilenga phezu kwaleli qoqo futhi; ukulandisa okuchazayo mayelana nenkanyezi ye-rock eya endaweni yase-Himalayan Indian yase-Ladakh ukuze izithole. Om.
Njengoba ngisanda kuchitha imizuzwana engu-30 ngihlola i-Ladakh, kuyiqiniso ukuthi indaba yombala ibonakala yaziswa ngokwethembeka ama-vistas ayo. Isibhakabhaka esiluhlaza esingapheli, amasimu kakolweni acwebezelayo acwebezelayo, amachibi acwebezelayo aluhlaza akhiwe izintaba eziphakeme, ukushona kwelanga okuncibilikisa amehlo . . . zonke lezi zazilotshwe ngobuwena lapha. Kodwa isibonakaliso esitshelayo ukuthi lesi kwakuyisiphakamiso esiphelele se-wardrobe kwakuyisesekeli esafika nokubukeka kokuqala, umthwali wesudi. Okuwukuphela kwento indoda ephethe umthwali wesudi efuna ukuyithola umsebenzi noma isenzo esithile edilini lomshado. Naphezu kokucwiliswa emculweni we-Missoni mood, lokhu bekuyiphothifoliyo enamehlo acacile ye-psychedelia elukiwe egqokekayo. Kwakukhona okokuluka okulukiwe ngesandla, okuvumelana nezimo futhi okumile okunebhomu elinemibala esweni. Bekukhona izingubo ezihlotshiswe ngokugcwele ze-wadding, eziyindilinga ezihlanganiswe nendwangu ye-Alpine Athleisurewear, kanye nama-piumino namapaki ama-kaleidoscope.
Ama-counterpoints angenalutho ahlinzekwa ngamajakhethi e-suede trail kanye namabhulukwe okusetshenziswa. Yebo, ama-vesti anezinhlamvu zemali kanye nama-fringe-fronted ayenqekuzisa i-Ladakh ekude, kodwa i-Ladakh yayingeyona iphuzu lalokhu-noma iyiphi iqoqo le-Missoni. Uma ungumuntu ocebile we-bohemian oneso lokunethezeka nombala kanye nomuzwa oqinile wokuzihlukanisa, hamba ngale ndlela, ngoba usuhlanganise.
