About the original
The Supreme/Missoni Sweater is a jacquard crewneck sweater depicting the New York City skyline (the Chrysler Building, midtown towers, and rows of apartment windows rendered in black, grey, and space-dyed stripes) with "MISSONI SUPREME" woven into the knit as building signage. Missoni was founded in 1953 by Ottavio and Rosita Missoni in Gallarate, Italy, and the house has produced its patterned knitwear on Raschel machines the family refit themselves at the Sumirago mill in Varese continuously since the late 1950s. The FW21 collab released November 18, 2021 at $298 retail in grey, rainbow, and icy blue colorways, each depicting the same cityscape in a different palette. The skyline jacquard was produced exclusively for this Supreme release; Missoni does not sell a standalone version.
