Margherita Missoni (born February 21, 1983[1] in Italy[2]) is known for her rise to prominence as an ambassador of, and 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, and as an aspiring actress. Missoni currently lives in New York City following her re-location from Italy to pursue acting.

Before her being featured in Missoni campaigns, she was a company ambassador, a duty entailing promotion at fashion related events. In her own words, Missoni described the process of becoming the face of a Missoni campaign as, "a natural evolution."

Currently, Missoni is studying acting in New York with hopes of gaining success in the entertainment industry. Most recently, she was featured in Jean Genet’s controversial The Maids, based on a true story of two maids who kill their mistress.
