The body of missing fashion executive Vittorio Missoni has still not been found, a statement from the Missoni family confirmed today. The Italian businessman and brother of Angela Missoni disappeared on January 4 2013, after a plane carrying him and five other passengers vanished from radars off the Los Roques coast in Venezuela.
The wreckage was found in June last year and in October, reports emerged that the remains of the passengers had been recovered - although the family has now confirmed that only the bodies of the two Venezuelan pilots and Missoni's life partner, Maurizia Castiglioni, were identified. The search for Missoni continues.
"As of today there have been no biological remains found that identify Vittorio Missoni, Guido Foresti or Elda Scalvenzi," a Missoni statement read. "In Venezuela the investigation to determine the causes and dynamics of the accident and the identity of all passengers are ongoing. In thanking the Venezuelan government and the Italian government for all their efforts in these months, the families sincerely hope that the underwater exploration of the remaining parts of the wreckage, already identified, will within a short time bring the recovery and the identification of Vittorio Missoni, Guido Foresti and Elda Scalvenzi."
Since the disappearance of Missoni, who oversaw all business aspects of the label, changes are being considered in terms of the brand's future - which could include a possible IPO. Nothing has been confirmed yet.
