54 Quotes by Margherita Missoni

Fashion is a real passion in my family. I never even realised it was something glamorous until much later. For me, it was my family's job.

Every little detail of my life is, and has always been, surrounded by fashion - from the cup I drink my coffee from in the morning to my constant travels - fashion always pops up somewhere and somehow.

I bought a place in Milan, but Missoni headquarters are out in the country, in Sumirago. My whole family eats out of the same vegetable garden; my mother raises chickens. I love the city, but if you're always bombarded with stimulation, you get numb to it. I need to get bored to create.

I'm not a hang-out-on-the-beach type of girl.

We never pull down the quality of the product, and I think that pays in the long term. People come up to me and say, 'I'm still wearing a Missoni sweater from 30 years ago, and it still looks great.' So quality, specificity and passion.

Growing up, I saw the world as an inspiring place full of interesting people.

I was lucky enough to create my own dress, deciding on every single design detail. But, even if you don't have a custom dress, you can still create a signature wedding-day look with personalization - a belt, altering the sleeves, etc. But, when creating your bridal style, the most important thing to remember is to make it feel like you.

I like the brand BioNike for shower gel, creams, deodorant, and hair products. I also love RestivOil - it's a yellowy, orange shampoo that I've used forever because it's the gentlest on the scalp.

I'm not a big sleeper. It just feels like wasting time. If I wake up, and it's after 5 A.M., I stay up.
