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 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.
