The Pattern Still Remains, And It’s Fitting That It Should

Following the “pattern” set by her family’s fashion legacy, Margherita does not fail to impress with her own individual style. Wearing patterns beautifully is in her blood.  When not studying acting or campaigning for the brand, the de-facto Missoni poster child is often seen donning gowns that have her last name on the tag. And why shouldn’t she? The colors and silhouettes fit her Mediterranean look flawlessly. Margherita’s grandparents started the Missoni fashion house and have since been known for their kaleidoscopic-like patterned knits.

Miss. Missoni grew up in Italy, often spending long stays in Milan (lucky girl). Now she is committed to her passion for theater in NYC. Before actually modeling in Missoni campaigns, she was the company ambassador, which basically entails being a Socialite who wears Missoni to every event. 

We will all just have to watch and see if the Italian heiress has any acting talent. But the one thing I am sure of is that her Premiere ensembles will be zigzag chic.

A Beber Y A Tragar, Que El Mundo Se Va A Acabar

Mexican[source]

Juanes had me at “La Camisa Negra,” the Border Cafe in Harvard Square had me at homemade tortilla chips. Mexican-influenced clothing? It had me at being loose, comfortable, and exquisite. For the record, I am engaged in a long-term love affair with many aspects of Hispanic culture: language, food, people, and clothing. And summertime has me thinking about loose and breezy style. So what better way to actively channel my obsession into day to day life? I will throw on an embroidered peasant top, jam to Juanes loudly in the car, improve my now extremely proficient Spanish, and enjoy a veggie burrito from Ana’s Taqueria. iHasta luego!
