OUR MISSION We are a brand made by and for women, committed to enhancing the full lives of our dynamic clients with innovative products and services that promote sustainability and longevity, create a sense of effortlessness and freedom within a hectic world, and encourage meaningful personal connections. We are a small business trying to revolutionize an industry and every one of us contributes meaningfully to our goal of positive change. ABOUT MISHA NONOO Born in Bahrain, raised in London, and educated in Paris, Misha Nonoo’s multicultural upbringing exposed her to a diverse collection of references. Her work showcases a unique outlook for the modern multifaceted woman. Offering versatile pieces at accessible price points, her collection is progressive yet classic, with both smart and playful details that support women from 9am to 9pm. Misha won industry recognition when she became a finalist for the 2013 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund and was named one of Forbes’ 30 under 30 as well as Crain’s New York Business’s 40 under 40. Since the launch of Misha Nonoo, the label has cultivated a loyal following that includes Meghan Markle, Emma Watson, Amal Clooney, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Cate Blanchett, to name a few. Misha pioneered the use of social media as a “venue” for fashion shows, exclusively debuting her Spring/Summer 2016 collection on Instagram, an innovative project for which she won the Fashion Futures Award for Best Beyond-the-Runway Experience, and her Fall 2016 collection on Snapchat. Misha continues to push boundaries by using a direct-to-consumer, on-demand model that promotes sustainability by reducing waste and drastically shortens the time between a customer placing and receiving an order. Her brand marries interesting designs with innovative digital and production concepts that are celebrated by women who embrace their femininity whilst pursuing their goals.
