Whats that idiom about the apple not falling far from the tree? Just this spring, Margherita Maccapani Missoni yes, of the famous Missoni clan; her mother Angela is Creative Director unveiled her very own ready-to-wear collection for the junior set. We talked to Missoni about this new childrens line, named Margherita, and her dual role as daughter and, now, mom.
My childrens line, Margherita, is
Proper childrens clothes, not adult clothes for children or little princess-type things. Once Otto was born I realized how many kids clothes are made by people who dont have kids: the arms dont go through the sleeves or you cant wash the fabric. For me, the priority was that children should be free to run, jump and get dirty, as well as choose their own clothes, experiment to get confident with their own choices and develop their own aesthetic hence the collection is built with comfortable, easy-to-wash, affordable pieces that are made to be mixed and matched There is no perfect ensemble here.
And the inspiration behind it
Becoming a mother changed my perspective on things. I suddenly wanted to be able to make decisions about my time and pace my own life this I could only do by starting my own business.
My favorite pieces from the collection
The blue fish-print romper and the long-sleeved striped knit with a central pocket.
My Mothers Day traditions now
Ive never celebrated yet!
And when I was growing up
Picking spring flowers for my mummy.
Best Mothers Day gift Ive given
I guess drawings.
And received
Nothing yet!
Best lesson my mother taught me
To trust my instinct.
And best style advice learned from her
Dont pluck your eyebrow!
Favorite childhood memory with my mom
Strolling around flea markets, making biscuits together.
And favorite mommy-and-me time now
Taking baths together.
Best lesson Ive learned from being a mom
Live the moment.
