Musette's How To: Love The Earth, Tip 4

A Missoni Must-Have: The OrphanAid Africa Bracelet
Motivated by a recent trip to West Africa, Margherita Missoni has teamed up with fellow fashion stars to make a difference to the children of Ghana. With jewelery designer Ileana Makri, Rachel Zoe, and husband and wife powerhouse Damon Dash & Rachel Roy by her side, Margherita has founded a line for OrphanAid, her most beloved charity. The collection's first item has been designed by Makri who sought inspiration from African textiles and created a bracelet made from silk, rose pink 18c gold, and pave diamonds, while incorporating OrphanAid's oval logo. This unique piece can be found at yoox.com, (Margherita's favourite online shopping destination) for a limited time, with the proceeds going to children at risk in Ghana. Giving back has never felt - or looked - so good.
