Design Is a Family Affair
While they may be considered one of Italy's most prominent fashion families, for the Missonis, it's just the family business. In 1997, Angela Missoni inherited mother Rosita's role as top executive and creative director. Rosita, after realizing retirement was not for her, took over the Missoni Home Collection. Now, a third generation has joined in—Angela's 23-year-old daughter, Margherita, is Missoni's muse and the face of the 2006 Missoni fragrance campaign.
