Maria Pinto (fashion designer)
Maria V. Pinto (born 1957) is a fashion designer from Chicago, Illinois. She has designed clothing for Oprah Winfrey, the Joffrey Ballet, Marcia Gay Harden, and Michelle Obama.
==Early life==
Maria Pinto was born in the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, near Chinatown.〔 She and her twin brother are the youngest of seven children〔〔 and the daughter of Constantino and Virginia Pinto, a sanitation worker and a caterer, respectively. When she was still young, her family moved to the suburbs of Chicago.〔
When Pinto was 10, she started reading a neighbor's copies of ''Women's Wear Daily''.〔 In eighth grade, she started sewing her own clothes after getting a sewing machine.〔〔 She attended Palatine High School,〔 where she sold clothes to her friends at the age of 15,〔〔 and eventually sewed her own prom dress from a Halston pattern.〔
Pinto began working in her mom's West Dundee Italian restaurant when it opened in 1975. When the restaurant closed four years later, Pinto's older brother Silvio opened a restaurant in the River North neighborhood, and she became a partner there. That restaurant also closed, in 1987, and Silvio died of cancer a year later. She went to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1987 when she was 30 and graduated from there in 1990 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, focusing in fashion. She then went to New York and attended Parson's School of Design and the Fashion Institute of Technology, where she also worked as an assistant to Geoffrey Beene.〔
