Missoni

Jessica Hart had us at her lavender skinny jeans, but if we're looking to the rest of the outfit's components, there's no denying the cool balance struck between quintessential Spring elements and the more functional pieces owed to the chillier NYC climate. While the model's pastel-hued denim choice provided us with the most overt nod to seasonal fare, there were more subtle add-ons that only furthered the effect of her Spring-minded ensemble. Look to the neutral zigzag-print Missoni bag, classic Burberry trench coat, dusty-pink sweater, yellow loafers, and polka-dotted iPhone case for easy ways to incorporate a lighter vibe. These pieces work well together — or as individual statements — and if you're not ready to commit to the bolder-hued jean staple, let these accents do the talking instead. Now that you've got the gist of how Hart's look makes the transition to Spring a colorful and practical one, shop the essentials below.

Investigators are working to determine if wreckage found on the island of Curacao came from Vittorio Missoni's missing plane.

The Curacao Chronicle confirmed that pieces of a small aircraft were found on Thursday afternoon. By Friday morning, the Italian news wire Ansa reported that the wreckage is being tested to see if it matches the Cessna 402 that was flying Missoni, his wife, and another couple from a resort in Los Roques when it disappeared on Jan. 4. The search effort has been ongoing for seven weeks, but the only elements from the plane that have been found are two pieces of luggage that washed ashore on Curacao and the nearby Bonaire Island.

A bag belonging to Vittorio Missoni has been found on the Caribbean island of Bonaire, not far from where the executive's plane went missing over a month ago.

A Missoni spokeswoman told WWD that the bag had Vittorio's name on its label, but didn't say whether it would have an effect on the search effort. Two weeks ago, another bag that had been on Missoni's plane was found on the island of Curacao.

On Jan. 4, Missoni, his wife, and another couple were coming back from their vacation in Los Roques, an island chain off the coast of Venezuela, when their private plane went missing. The Missoni family has vowed to keep searching for the missing passengers until they are found.

It's been nearly three weeks since a plane carrying Vittorio Missoni disappeared off the coast of Venezuela, and his family is committed to keeping the search effort going.

Vittorio's brother Luca Missoni told WWD that investigators haven't ruled out any of the theories about Vittorio's disappearance. "For this reason, I can confirm that in Caracas not only is the search at sea and on the coast not over, but that investigations continue, without neglecting any possibility," he said.

Luca had been in Venezuela helping with the search effort over the last few weeks, but he said that a family friend is now following the search party in his place. Luca will travel from Italy back to Venezuela in February, when a ship used for "deep sea submarine research" will join the effort.

Vittorio Missoni was flying from the Venezuelan resort archipelago of Los Roques to Caracas with his wife, Maurizia Castiglioni, their friends Guido Foresti and Elda Scalvenzi, and two crew members on Jan. 4 when their plane disappeared. So far no sign of the plane or its passengers has been found.

The Missoni family is holding fast to the hope that Vittorio Missoni's missing plane was hijacked, and Vittorio's eldest son has called a crash implausible.

"My father will come back; we are waiting for him," said Vittorio's 28-year-old son Ottavio Missoni Jr. in an interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. "I am not speaking with my head but with my heart. A plane cannot vanish in this way, on a short route, without leaving any trace . . . I remain convinced that the least plausible reason is that they crashed into the water. My uncle Luca, in Venezuela, has also confirmed that these planes are capable of sea landings in case of emergency."

Luca Missoni, Vittorio's brother and a trained pilot, is in Venezuela working with the search party that's been trying to find Vittorio, his wife, Maurizia Castiglioni, their friend Guido Foresti, and Foresti's wife, Elda Scalvenzi. They were on a small twin-engine plane traveling from Los Roques to Caracas on Saturday morning, but the plane disappeared shortly after taking off. Angela Missoni, Vittorio's sister and the brand's creative director, said earlier this week that she hopes the traveling party was kidnapped. "It's better to be kidnapped than at the bottom of the sea," she said.

In the meantime, it's said the Missoni brand will carry on with business as usual. An unnamed source told Page Six that the house plans to show its men's collection in Milan next week. However, there's no official plan to replace Vittorio if he and the others aren't found.

"There is no succession plan in place," the source said. "Nobody expected this to happen."
