Margherita Missoni Loves Her Grandma’s Style, Wearing Headpieces

Margherita Maccapani Missoni Amos is true fashion royalty. As the granddaughter of Ottavio and Rosita Missoni, who founded the Italian fashion house in 1953, and the daughter of Angela, who currently heads the brand, it’s no surprise that Margherita earned her own stripes. She has launched her own line of kid’s clothing—and has, over the years, acquired a dreamy personal wardrobe. Here, the fashionable heiress shares her favorite stores, style pet peeves, and style icons.

Define your style in three words: Classic, distressed, passionate.
