children to now dressing the home,” said Designer Margherita Maccapani
Missoni Amos. “As a mother, I want my collection to inspire my children,
Otto and Augusto, and all children to imagine, create and play. I’m very
excited to work with Pottery Barn Kids on this collection of textiles,

ABOUT MARGHERITA MACCAPANI MISSONI AMOS:

Born in Northern Italy, Margherita Maccapani Missoni Amos, is the eldest
daughter of Angela Missoni, Creative Director of the renowned Missoni
brand, and the granddaughter of the house’s founders. Having grown up in
the idyllic countryside of Sumirago, amidst a family of fashion
designers, Amos developed a keen eye and a unique sense of personal
style from at a very young age. She also dreamed of becoming a designer
like the women in her family. After University, Amos studied drama in
New York, then moved to Paris and Rome to pursue a career in acting.
During this time, Amos also functioned as Missoni Brand Ambassador. Amos
eventually settled back in Sumirago and began consulting on important
projects, such as the Missoni for Target collaboration, and eventually
joined the Missoni creative team as the Designer of Accessories, Swim,
and Missoni Girls. Amos then met her husband, Eugenio, a race car
driver, and shortly thereafter started a family of her own. Following
the birth of her two sons, the fashion darling brought her innate sense
of style, entrepreneurial spirit and personal experience as a mum to her
distinguished kidswear collection, Margherita Kids, which launched in
March 2015. Amos is frequently featured in pages of women’s fashion
magazines around the world for her own personal style & fashion. She
regularly appears on best-dressed lists, which has led to additional
collaborations for both herself and the Margherita Kids brand.
