The 2011 Met Ball has finally arrived and the stars have come out with a venegance and on the red carpet Kanye West most notably appearing sporting the first glimpse of Tory Burch's first foray into the world of menswear.
This year's theme was 'Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty' and to that effect Daphne Guiness, Sarah Jessica Parker, Salma Hayek and Gisele all donned the latest designers creations in his honor.
Unlike Bee Shaffer and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Margherita Missoni seems quite happy to follow in her mother's fashionable steps, as the young heiress recently went from brand ambassador for Missoni, to accessories designer. Despite her first handbag collection only making its debut back in May, talk of Margherita taking over the Missoni empire has been fuelled by mother Angela admitting considering stepping down.
"I was on a bus yesterday and I thought for the first time there are so many things I want to do with my life and whenever Margherita feels ready I'd let her take over," Angela Missoni, creative director for the label revealed. "Who knows what the future will bring? Maybe Theresa will run things or perhaps my nephew or my son. Margherita has this incredible passion for the business and for fashion though - she would be excellent."
So, it looks like Margherita may see herself as creative director in a few years, although even if the heiress decides against the idea, one thing's for sure - Missoni seem intent on keeping it firmly within the family.
