In April 1967, they were invited to show at the Pitti Palace in Florence. Rosita told the models to take off their bras, supposedly because they were the wrong color, and showed through the thin lamé blouses. The material became transparent under the lights and caused a sensation. The Missonis were not invited the following year, but business grew; a new factory in Sumirago was built in 1969. Missoni designs were promoted in the U.S. by Diana Vreeland, editor of American Vogue, and a Missoni boutique was opened in Bloomingdales.
