Check out the first of a new monthly series spotlighting those creative influencers. We kick off with Bahrain-born talent Misha Nonoo who’s been in the news recently for all the right reasons. The story so far Bahrain born, Misha Nonoo lived in the Kingdom with her family until the age of 10, when they moved to London. She went to university there until the age of 19, then spent two years in Paris finishing her studies. She moved to New York and worked for a small tailoring firm in the garment district, learning the trade as the assistant to the head designer. Of her inspiration she says: “I think I’m a kind of magpie; I think that sensibility of being this collector for things that are shiny and interesting makes its way into my work. My designs are often a meld of the old and new, which is very much my personality.”
