Maxi dresses, or column dresses, have always been popular at Missoni, and they’ve highlighted them again in their spring 2008 advertising campaign staring Biance Balti.

The dark campaign features Balti posing in front of a tree with slicked back hair, red lipstick, and a rather fierce gaze. Which leads me to wonder… are we harking back to the 90s again?

Or is Missoni feeling a little Zen for this spring?

This dark campaign features an abundance of water lilies in the pond behind Bianca Balti, which are quite popular for Chinese who see it as a nice calming and beautiful flower. Which makes for quite a pretty backgroung you much admit.
