The Italian Job:Margherita Missoni

Style runs in the family for aspiring actress and beauty connoisseur Margherita Missoni.

At just 23, Margherita Missoni has a lot on her plate. She juggles acting lessons, being relentlessly photographed by paparazzi who adore her personal style, and serving as a muse to her family's fashion house. How does she do it? "I listen to my mother," admits Margherita, who now lives in New York City. "She gives great advise." It makes sense then that her mom(Angela Missoni, the creative director of the brand's women's line) handed Margherita her latest assignment: her role as the face of the Missoni signature fragrance. "I was nervous," she says. "But when I realized what an opportunity this was. It's a dream come true!" And with her obvious comfort in front of the camera, there's little doubt that the would-be actress will make the leap easily from It girl to headliner. "I love acting--I'm young," she says. "I have the rest of my life to be a grown up. Right now, I enjoy being carefree."
