Biography

Margherita Missoni grew up in the Italian countryside, spending weekends in Milan.[5] She studied philosophy at Columbia University; however, after she moved to New York, she struggled emotionally when her academic credits could not transfer to the United States educational system. Following this obstacle, Missoni chose to explore her first love, theatre.[2]

She says her relationship with her family is close, particularly her connection with her sister and her mother.[2]

Career

Before she was featured in Missoni campaigns, she was a company ambassador, a duty entailing promotion at fashion related events. In her own words, Missoni described becoming the face of a Missoni campaign as "a natural evolution."[3]

Currently, Missoni is studying acting in New York with hopes of success in the entertainment industry.[2][5] Most recently, she was featured in Jean Genet’s The Maids, based on a true story of two maids who kill their mistress.[4]

Public Image

Fashion wise, Missoni has received credible public reception with particular regard for her own personal fashion choices. Missoni is frequently included in the pages of women's fashion, health and beauty magazines, usually relating in some way to her ties with her family's company.[5]
