My mother persuaded me not to pluck my eyebrows when I was a teenager – right now I’m so grateful I never did! She also taught me to pour 2 kg. of salt in my bath whenever I feel swollen and tired – and to end it with a cold shower. It does wonders. Margherita Missoni Read Quote

I’ve been eating a porridge of millet for breakfast, something that my doula recommended I eat. It doesn’t taste that great, but it’s supposed to be really nourishing for the baby, and you’re not supposed to eat any gluten when you’re pregnant. I’ve been making pancakes out of it and add berries. Margherita Missoni Read Quote
I make homemade juices with whatever is in season. I rarely have coffee, but I drink lots of tea. I start with a pot of tea at home and sip on herbal teas throughout the day at work. Margherita Missoni Read Quote

Americans have much less holiday, so for them, four or five days away is like a mini vacation, but for us, it’s just a long weekend. In Europe, one takes time off more casually. Margherita Missoni Read Quote
I love dressing for different occasions and having dress codes. For me, it’s such a fun thing to have a reason to think about dressing within restraints or codes or rules, so it’s something I have fun with. Margherita Missoni Read Quote
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. Margherita Missoni Read Quote
I’m the only one in my family who doesn’t cook, but I can do a Swiss dish called frittatensuppe. You make a thin omelet from eggs, flour and parsley, then roll and cut it in the shape of tagliatelle and add broth. It’s a tradition we adopted. Margherita Missoni Read Quote
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. Margherita Missoni Read Quote
