Looks from Missoni's Spring 2009 RTW collection (not the stuff at Filene's, just sample images!)

A mystery designer shipment is supposed to hit select Filene's Basement stores today, Sunday April 5, with markdowns of up to 75% off. The off-price retailers can't leak what Milan-based fashion house stocked Filene's with thousands of their iconic pieces—but I can! According to the press release, the shipments are coming from an Italian fashion designer famed for their unmistakable striped knitwear, so it must be Missoni (not confirmed, but that's my guess!).

Participating stores are located in the following cities: Boston, MA; New York City, NY; Chicago, IL; Washington, D.C.; Columbus, OH.
