Meet Miryha!
Westport native, and former president of her Staples high school class (1997) no less (oh- and the Wreckers cheerleading co-captain too!), Miryha Fantegrossi somehow does it all. After a career that began in college in fashion and intimate apparel, Miryha is currently the VP of Design and Merchandising at Wacoal America and has helped “fit” many moms in this community! Despite catching a 6:30am train to NYC daily, Miryha reveals she has NEVER used an alarm clock, and claims if her career path had gone differently, she’d unquestionably be a zookeeper. Miryha is as authentic and loyal as they come, and enjoys nothing more than a day exploring the outdoors with her almost 6 year old son and 3 year old daughter. Miryha is a problem solver – in every aspect of life, and is one of those real deal people who tells it like it is. She feels incredibly lucky to have grown up here and now Westport is lucky to have this supermom back!
