Missoni is an Italian fashion house based in Varese, and known for its colorful knitwear designs. The company was founded by Ottavio and Rosita Missoni in 1953. Being one of 3 children, Margherita Missoni was born on February 21, 1983 in Italy and grew up in the Italian countryside, spending weekends in Milan. She studied philosophy at Columbia University. She is known as heiress to her family's Missoni fashion house, which was founded by her grandparents, as well as her appearances in Missoni fashion campaigns as a model. Before Margherita Missoni was modelling for the Missoni campaigns, she was a company ambassador; a job requiring promotion at fashion related events. Now being head of accessories as well for the Missoni brand, she is has taken control and started the M Missoni collection. Known for its recognizable zig-zag style, the proceeds from the collection go towards the Orphanaid for Africa foundation. Margherita Missoni’s contribution to the Orphanaid foundation have been surreal, surpassing millions of dollars towards this good cause, she has made an impact within the fashion industry making a statement that it is easy for successful designers to go around donating millions to charities, however it is one extra step to actually create an entire collection for a good cause.
