Ottavio Missoni, the co-founder and patriarch of iconic Italian fashion house Missoni, died at his Northern Italian home on Thursday at the age of 92.

Converse and Missoni created a range of 20 exclusive pairs of sneakers made of iconic fabrics selected from the Italian fashion house’s archives.

Unveiled at Paris Fashion Week on Friday, the project celebrates the two brands’ longstanding collaboration, now in its sixth season.

Italian brand Missoni, which specializes in original printed knitwear, is collaborating with Brazilian brand Havaianas for a high-end capsule collection of thong sandals.

Sporting iconic Missoni motifs, the thong sandals are composed of leftover pieces of the Brazilian brand’s multicolored rubber flip flops, which are then put together to create various forms of zigzag patchwork.

One of the new models for 2012, the “Missoni Loves Havaianas Slim,” is adorned with several jewel-style lucky charms and will be available in select retail outlets in mid-June for a price of 90 euros.

Missoni is partnering with Filipino real estate developer Century Properties to design the interior decor and amenity spaces of a condominium building in Manila.

Missoni Home is not new to commercial real estate. It designed the Hotel Missoni line with Rezidor Hotel Group, with hotels open or opening in Scotland, Kuwait, Turkey, Omanan and Brazil.

Italian designer Missoni is lending its distinct style to Four Seasons Resort Maui for two of the property’s poolside cabanas that will feature Missoni furniture.

Missoni created floral fabrics that incorporate the brand’s traditional stripes and zigzags to mirror the beach setting of the property’s Serenity Pool.

Rapper Drake has a penchant for sweaters made by the Italian fashion house and harbors ambitions to be part of Missoni‘s next capsule line.

The musician revealed his interest in a partnership with the label during an interview for the December issue of GQ.

“Hopefully Missoni hollers at me and we get a sweater line popping,” he told the publication, when discussing his frequent appearances in Missoni jumpers.
