Margherita Maccapani Missoni has lived a colorful life. Not only is she a part of a famously color-obsessed fashion family, but she’s the muse to her mother Angela Missoni and one-time face for the brand. After a few years away from the company launching a children’s brand, Margherita is rejoining the family business as the creative director of M Missoni. We spoke with her about normcore, Uggs, and mom jeans.
