Marina Rinaldi Experience

The Made in Italy style and design of Marina Rinaldi continues to gain recognition abroad, and by popular demand of foreign customers, new stores are opening up everywhere in the world. The most recent, three flagship stores that opened in St. Petersburg (Russia), in Klif (Poland) and in Hasselt (Belgium).
The first is a true gem and could not have been anywhere else than the former city of the Tsars, today modern Russia’s wonderful cultural centre, open to new trends and a great lover of Italian design. Here Marina Rinaldi has opened its first flagship store in Bolshoy Prospect, one of the chicest areas of the city where all the most prestigious stores, belonging to brands that are internationally recognised as being symbols of contemporary luxury, are to be found. In Poland the store in Klif was opened in an area that has the highest concentration of renowned designer boutiques and luxury stores, in the prestigious top-of-the-range shopping district. The same happened in the Belgian city of Hasselt where the first Marina Rinaldi flagship store conquered everyone for its elegant furnishings characterised by the most exclusive Italian taste.
Three new stores in which Marina Rinaldi, thanks to a strong image and communication, continues to be the key player and perfect ambassador for many curvy women in the world.

Marina Rinaldi - Elegant Collection

In the fashion world nothing is more elegant than the contrast between black and white, two absolute colours at opposite poles. So ladylike and timeless. As always, opposites attract and in fashion they create the chicest chromatic combination of all times. Just think how many colours exist in the world and how lovely it is to pair them together particularly in summer, but none of them come even close to being as beautiful as a black & white look. Because black paired with white treats us to pure architectural forms, to absolute linearity and to a timeless glamour that reaches straight out to us from the great divas of Hollywood’s golden age. In the new Marina Rinaldi spring-summer 2012 collection there are so many proposals that play with this colour contrast with class and offer unparalleled charm.
The MR Elegante collection proposes the triacetate dress with inlaid motifs and small contrast edging on the neck and sleeves. It has a Sixties flavour, plays with optical motifs and is perfect for every occasion. Of course, in order to enhance such a dress high heels are a must, why not open toe and a nice clutch bag for a feminine and very elegant look. In our advertising campaign you will also find the ever-trendy black and white striped pattern to be worn with a thin grosgrain belt and a nice foulard tied around the head. Still in black & white, the black Lycra one-piece swimsuit with contrasting white edged neckline, very diva-looking and so minimal chic.

Of course the black & white motif is used in a subtle game of combinations and in the Marina Rinaldi summer collection, you can find plenty of outfits and accessories in these two nuances to be paired together. In the MR Voyage Spring collection the classic black sheath dress is revamped and becomes strong in leather, worn with a nice white blazer, even in linen, so fresh and seductive like the one proposed in the MR Blue Label Summer collection, which transforms into a unique feminine outfit.
A beautiful white jacket is perfect worn over a black triacetate jumpsuit with a cross-over draped neckline, otherwise instead of the jacket, try wearing a lovely black and white patterned silk twill foulard. Thus a white linen sheath dress with short sleeves from the MR Blue Label Summer collection is perfect when worn with the small black and white striped motif man style jersey jacket like the one proposed in the MR Blue Label Spring collection. Very elegant is the total white cotton poplin shirt with a slightly trapeze line which plays with overlapping fabrics which we find in the MR Sport Summer collection.
You can wear it on a lovely pair of straight black and white trousers and you’ll be absolutely perfect, thanks also to the matching accessories you’ll wear with your outfit: choose white, black or even why not? a completely contrasting shade, such as red, for a fresh and casual look!

Marina Rinaldi Giorno

As soon as spring arrives, outerwear inevitably becomes much lighter. So instead of our much loved coat and down jacket that have been our faithful companions during the harsh winter months, it’s now time to find something just as important, but lighter, fresher and smarter. From the more classy to the sporty-chic types, the jacket is the perfect answer to the question: “What am I going to wear now?” by which time the sun is already shining brightly outside.
In the new Marina Rinaldi spring-summer 2012 collection there are so many proposals to match either your mood of the moment or the occasion you’ll be attending, formal, informal, daytime or evening. From the most sophisticated models of the MR Elegante collection in embroidered lace, to those that are smart & easy, you choose how to accessorise them for a very feminine and glam summer!
The nuances are even more intense and feminine like those of the MR Giorno collection offering boxy jackets to be paired with soft blouses in bright contrasting colours and long trousers to be worn with lovely patent leather court shoes, creating a very elegant harmony between the matt and shiny look.
This same collection wouldn’t be complete without one of this summer’s must-haves designed by Marina Rinaldi: the soft suede jacket in an intense shade of tobacco, absolutely perfect with anything and any moment of the day thanks to its cocoon effect. In MR Blue Label Spring we also find the same jacket in emerald-green, with flap pockets and beautiful deluxe detailing, for a ladylike modern and contemporary-chic look.

Marina Rinaldi - Blue Label Spring Collection

The man style jersey jacket is absolutely unique, very feminine, rigorous and tailorlike, to be teamed up with a delicate polka dot printed sweater and a contrast bow. This is part of the MR Blue Label Spring collection and it can also be worn over a comfortable plain coloured triacetate dress, preferably in black or white, or with a brilliant white shirt and a nice pair of jeans, for an absolutely perfect urban chic city look. High heels are a must as well as the brand-new moccasins, which are very comfortable and available in many glossy shades to brighten up your look with a touch of originality.
A seventies inspired look with a country taste is the short jacket in pekary leather and nylon to be paired with a denim total look: if you have a long ankle-length denim skirt then you might as well flaunt it by wearing a lovely pair of boots for that strong and vaguely hippie look. This jacket belongs to the MR Sport Spring collection and comes in a warm safari shade, perfect with any colour!
In summer don’t you just love the feel of fresh linen on your skin? In the MR Sport Summer collection you will find so many different solutions in this fabric which is one of summer’s ultimate musts, valued for its freshness and breathability, it’s almost like a veil on your skin. Speaking of linen, this is also a summer dedicated to the colour white: Marina Rinaldi has a selection of so many total white looks so get your head around the fact that white doesn’t make you look fat! It’s time to debunk this old cliché maybe by wearing a great outfit in heavy linen consisting in jacket, top and straight trousers to be accessorised with any colour you choose. Because white is like a colour palette that’s just waiting for your imagination to be sparked up by something special such as a lovely necklace or a colourful foulard!

One of the most loved fabrics of all times is lace because of its romantic allure and softness. Centuries pass by and although this fabric now comes in so many different nuances, it never loses its charm.
Marina Rinaldi has opted for perforated suede to obtain a very chic delicate effect in which lace becomes contemporary and ideal to be flaunted with nonchalance. Ask the American actress Rosie O’ Donnell who, for the first time ever last January at the National Board of Review Awards, wore just one of these marvellous creations belonging to the Marina Rinaldi Luxury collection and was admired by everyone. The below the knee dress entirely made of soft perforated suede, was very much appreciated paired with a pair of black leggings and high-heeled shoes giving her a more slender figure. A perfectly stylish choice: minimal chic and very classy! A very original mix: the soft sensuality of suede perfectly matches the elegance of the timeless crochet design. Of course, with a modern twist. With a bit of imagination the dress can also be worn as a soft blouse to be teamed with light-coloured trousers, in neutral nuances or even in white for a cocoon and sophisticated summer.

Marina Rinaldi - Elegante Collection

Marina Rinaldi proposes two very different versions for evening wear. The first pairs leather with lace in a highly successful and very contemporary chic little black dress (look n.4 http://www.marinarinaldi.com/it/Collezioni/MR-LUSSO). The dress is sleeveless and is made entirely of black napa leather up to the hips and then continues in macramè: the look is glamorous, strong and very elegant. The second version, belonging to the Marina Rinaldi Elegante collection (look n.9 http://www.marinarinaldi.com/it/Collezioni/MR-ELEGANTE), sees macramè lace being doubled and applied to an elegant sheath dress which creates a sophisticated colour contrast. The Sixties look is the ultimate charm. Whichever version you choose, lace will be your passport for this spring/summer 2012!

The down jacket always has that extra something, even in springtime. Did you really think you would have to put away that item of clothing which has kept you warm during these harsh winter months? Not at all! Marina Rinaldi has reduced the padding and has come up with a spring-summer version of the down jacket available in many bright, dazzling and ultra shiny neutral shades.  The cuts are skinny and tailor-like. With springtime just around the corner, the down jacket is the new outerwear for this season. Not too voluminous, it has precious seams and comes in many styles that will help you enhance your figure and your look thanks to the many lengths available. This spring sees the down jacket as a unique alternative to wearing a blazer or a trench for the first warm spring days. The basic model is undoubtedly the one which has a snug hood, is cinched at the waist, is hip length and zips up. Perfect with leggings, trousers or a dress to be paired with boots, another winter must-have which we can easily indulge in wearing even in April.

The down jacket from the MR Voyage collection, teamed with simple bon ton ballerinas, is just as elegant as a trench. Lightly quilted, it has snap on buttons, a nice collar and a thin belt to emphasise the waistline. Very chic! Which is the most glamorous down jacket? The sleeveless version, worn as a waistcoat. Made of rainproof satin nylon, this waist length model will allow you to highlight your waistline in a very feminine way thanks to its handy belt. Pair it with denim and contrasting trousers, even in white. It’s not true that white makes you look fat! Let’s debunk this urban-fashion legend once and for all. By the way, it is by far one of the most elegant colours in summer, so why not wear it? Very trendy this year is the fluorescent version of the down jacket, particularly green, with slim lapels and belt at the waist which attracts the attention and admiration of just about everyone. Last, but not least, the down jacket can be stored away in the small bag supplied. Just one touch and voilà, your special down jacket pops out as it is made of a fabric which is based on years of research: super light, waterproof and shiny.

Melissa McCarthy wearing Marina Rinaldi for the Academy Awards 2012

Melissa McCarthy chose to wear a made to measure Marina Rinaldi dress to walk down the famous red carpet leading to the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles for the Oscar Night 2012.
The long blush-colored gown was embellished by an elegant jewel embroidery neckline. This same motif appears in the sash wrapped around the waistline Empire-style exalting the décolleté of this very special and lively actress who is literally adored by the American public!
To complete this very elegant and sophisticated outfit, enhanced by soft makeup and a true diva hairdo, are the ladylike accessories that add a chic touch to the look and are absolutely perfect for the event!
The actress, nominated as Best Supporting Actress in the film “Bridesmaids”, is well known to the public for her role as Sookie St. James in the television series “Gilmore Girls” and for her role as Dena in the sitcom “Samantha Who?. She also stars in the American sitcom “Mike & Molly” in which she light-heartedly and humorously plays the role of a funny curvy woman who meets the love of her life. And thanks to her performance, last year Melissa McCarthy won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.

Marina Rinaldi Lusso

This ultimate sport item, with its unbeatable style, suits just about every silhouette and any moment of the day.  It reveals its sophisticated soul, even though it was worn by British soldiers during the war (’trench coat’ literally means ‘the coat that was worn in the trenches’). It now fights its own battle on rather different grounds, first of all that of elegance and that of seduction. Just think that the first photo taken of a woman wearing a trench was in 1930. Since then, all the true divas have worn one, each interpreting it according to their own explosive personality such as Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo and Katherine Hepburn. Thanks to these three stars the trench has maintained its rigorous allure. Marilyn Monroe and Brigitte Bardot on the other hand, wore it with a completely different sex appeal, as well as the elegant Jacqueline Kennedy, perhaps the fashion icon that comes close to the new look launched by Marina Rinaldi in the spring-summer collection. Truly glam and sophisticated.  Worth a mention is the trench in nappa leather enhanced by lapels and belt at the waist which we find in the Marina Rinaldi Luxury collection. A total white look and a prominent collar which defines the face with style. A sensual trench thanks to the fabric used and its rigorous cut. Absolutely perfect is also the cotton trench with leather edging for a very chic chromatic contrast.

Marina Rinaldi Voyage

This is also part of the Marina Rinaldi Luxury collection and is the icon trench of the season: it has a Seventy’s allure that is very reminiscent of Jacqueline Kennedy’s style. Besides, the trench can be worn any time of year: it’s perfect for rainy days as well as for sunny weather, it’s glamorous and chic and flatters the silhouette as it defines shoulders and waistline. Rigour and class even in the Marina Rinaldi Sport Spring and Marina Rinaldi Voyage Spring collections where you can find, among the many proposals, the waterproof double cotton and nylon trench. A timeless classic, suitable with just about any outfit and perfect all day long thanks to its neutral nuance and its neat and simple cut. To highlight your waistline it can be worn with or without a belt. Last, but not least, the most amusing model of the latest Marina Rinaldi collection is: the polka-dot jacquard trench. This is part of the Marina Rinaldi Elegant collection and is funny, ironic and glamorous. For real divas who love to play with fashion and with the eternal seduction of a great classic in every woman’s wardrobe, the trench is able to renew itself every season, coming up with new stylish solutions every time.

Marina Rinaldi - Color Blocking

“Colour blocking” will be the major trend for next spring-summer 2012. A rainbow of colours, chromatic contrasts and unique combinations of shades will overwhelm us making this season even funnier and brighter.

In contrast to the rigours of winter in which Marina Rinaldi had already introduced new shades as an alternative to the classic black and grey, which are so predictable and gloomy, we will see the arrival of a range of clothes and accessories based on this philosophy which will have almost the same effect on us as a dose of colour therapy.

Thanks to its graphisms and its incredible entwinement of colours which we are not used to seeing paired together as we think they clash or are unsuitable, “colour blocking” is a trend that is in perfect harmony with the determination and joie de vivre of the contemporary, fresh and dynamic woman who loves life.  A woman who adores playing with contrasts which become distinguishing traits of her personality.

Marina RInaldi - Sport Collection

In fact “Colour blocking” blends together two singular contrasts: a minimalist look with neat lines and colours which at first sight may seem to clash. Put together, these two elements are pure energy.

In the new Marina Rinaldi spring-summer 2012 collection you will find many outfits coining this perfect style such as trench-coats, t-shirts, dresses and foulards, ideal for women who wish to stand out from the crowd and who love to play with fashion and colours. There are no rules, you just have to enjoy yourself and create new colour combinations!

Cachemire scarf - Marina Rinaldi

Nothing in winter is quite as warm, soft and embracing as a beautiful scarf to wrap around our necks as we prefer. Just think, on the web you can find lots of videos which show at least sixty different ways of wearing a scarf, depending on the way you wish to tie or drape your scarf, but we at Marina Rinaldi know of just one way to wear it: with style. This means having in your wardrobe not only those in the classic winter colours such as grey and black or neutral shades such as camel, which every woman has already pulled out at the first signs of cold weather as a handy passe-partout accessory, but also having bright and vibrant colours to paint these long winter months with a bit of verve and liveliness. The fashion colour therapy proposed by Marina Rinaldi involves not only outerwears and dresses but also accessories.

The scarves in particular are available in many hypervitaminic shades that have an almost pop appeal. Just think of cherry red, pink, purple, salmon and many more intense and feminine nuances proposed in the latest autumn-winter 2011-2012 by Marina Rinaldi, a precious touch of freshness and originality. There is definitely a wide choice and a beautiful scarf in our opinion is almost as beautiful as a necklace. It may well be made ​​of soft cashmere and not of precious stones, yet it enhances a woman’s face just as well, perfecting her look by adding a touch of class, especially if worn with elegance and character. The advice given by Marina Rinaldi for the festive season is to be creative by choosing to defy the winter greys with the power of colour, daring to use unique colour combinations like a beautiful pink scarf on a red shirt that you would never have thought to pair up in the same outfit. And yet this mix works really well and, besides keeping your spirits high, it allows you to play with fashion, experimenting with everything you had previously thought as being an unlikely match and instead,  surprise surprise, it really suits you. Sometimes it’s good to get rid of your usual fashion rules or at least to give yourself the chance to experiment with something new, such as these soft cashmere scarves that come in many different formats, to wear with a beautiful smile.
