Missoni - Preppy Pony Collection

The Zig-Zag Zealot: Meet Missoni

Forget the stuffy, traditional horse portraits you see in every hallway in Louisville. This is Missoni, and he is a masterclass in "Palm Beach meets the Kentucky Derby" - with a decidedly Milanese sense of rhythm.

Living in Louisville, Kentucky, equestrian art is practically a requirement, but for a long time, it just wasn't me. That changed at 3:00 AM one morning when I woke up with a vision: horses infused with pattern, modern color, and sharp, graphic edges. Missoni is a result of that creative fever dream - one of only 15 original pieces in the exclusive Preppy Pony Collection.

The Story Behind the Brush

"I wanted this style for my own family room refresh, and once I started, I couldn't stop. I feverishly painted 15 of them, imagining new patterns as fast as I could move the brush. Because these horses are so high-fashion, I named each one after an iconic designer. Missoni, of course, represents the bold, unmistakable geometry of Italian knitwear and a legacy of vibrant, kaleidoscopic color."

The Details

Missoni is a graphic masterpiece on an impressive 36" x 36" canvas, featuring a crisp white and tan striped coat that stands in bold contrast to his surroundings. He is framed by an iconic, kaleidoscopic chevron background in vibrant shades of mustard, ochre, lemon and olive. His ensemble is completed by a soft pink saddle pad featuring a hot red 'X' and a tactile, olive-green fringe that adds a delightful pop of texture.
