VPOD: Mission Missoni

Have you heard the expression: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade? Well, that’s exactly what newlyweds Otavio and Rosita Missoni did in 1953. They bought two knitting machines, set up a small knitwear shop in the basement of their home in Italy, and then discovered…uh-oh…the machines only made stripes.
