Missoni Creative Director of Accessories. New York
As part of the youngest generation of the tight-knit Italian clan (notably lensed by Juergen Teller), Margherita Missoni was a natural fit as unofficial muse and occasional face of her family's eponymous brand. Having since added designer to her all-in-the family résumé, her part in Missoni's charitable collaboration with Holt Renfrew in support of OrphanAid Africa was equally organic. The Coveteur caught up with Missoni in Toronto just prior to her appearance at Holt's. Her husband had just gotten out of the pool, and they certainly were the most picture-perfect Italian couple, greeting each other with air kisses. Missoni brought along not only signature pieces covered in her family brand's iconic prints, but all kinds of editorial-worthy accessories—metallic Céline wedges and a pony-hair Givenchy Antigona, anyone? She also dished on her share of killer beauty secrets and traveling tips: "My beauty regime consists of drinking lots of herbal teas and water, lots of Esthederm sun protection with SPF, everything Aesop, and Mousse Éclat de Lancôme."
I respect my family and my job. I know I wouldn’t be in the position I am in if it weren’t for them. I grew up encompassed by the Missoni vision. My grandmother, Rosita, my mother, Angela, and I have different styles—but we share the same taste.

I don’t know how to describe my style. I think it's very hard to categorize, but I would say that I dress instinctively and playfully. I never plan ahead. My clothing pieces reflect my background, knowledge of fashion and sense of personal style. Mixing garments from different periods of my life is a way for me to connect my past with the person I am today.
