Meghan Markle and Misha Nonoo—if you haven’t heard of this dynamic duo, it’s time to catch up! Misha is a British-Bahraini fashion designer and one of Meghan Markle’s closest friends. But guess what? She is also one of the names inside the Duchess of Sussex’s chic wardrobe. This pair blossomed years ago in Miami, and have bonded over charity work and fashion.
“We really bonded over that, to begin with — and we both love dogs, too. We have been very close ever since. I love her to death. She is the coolest girl in the world.”
Misha Nonoo’s designs have made their mark in the royal world, especially with her contribution to Meghan’s Smart Works capsule collection. For example, the iconic white button-down Meghan wore at the 2017 Invictus Games was Misha’s creation. Revealing some juicy details on the creation of the iconic piece, she said:
“It was clear that the shirt was to be tailored and be a closer fit to the body so that it was something that looked smart when tucked in and underneath a jacket and wasn’t too oversized. So it was a bit more of a classic style she was looking for.”
But Misha is more than just Meghan’s designer BFF, she’s a powerhouse in the fashion industry! Having been a finalist for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund and earning spots on Forbes’ ’30 Under 30′ and Crain’s New York Business’ ’40 Under 40 ‘ prove that. Her multicultural upbringing and commitment to empowering women match Meghan Markle’s ideas, making their bond strong and stylish.
