Interview: In The Studio With Designer Misha Nonoo Before New York Fashion Week 2013

Looking at Misha Nonoo's amazing trajectory in the fashion world, it seems like a sort of fairytale come true. But the young designer didn't get her success by having anything handed to her. She credits her achievements to having a super strong work ethic, telling us, "It's the only way you are going to get anywhere." It's no wonder that with that kind of attitude, she has come to dress the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Pippa Middleton. In between the pre-Fashion Week madness, the lovely Misha Nonoo took some time out of her busy schedule to sit down and chat with us in her downtown studio. Click through to learn more about the Bahrain-born designer.
