Marina Rinaldi Experience

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.

Rosie O'Donnel wears Marina Rinaldi

One of America’s most sought-after film awards is undoubtedly the National Board of Review Award. Each year, since 1929, a prestigious association of film critics hands out its awards to the Best Film, Best Actor, Director of Photography and many other categories. And each year, as always, the parade of stars on the red carpet is quite a sight.

Even Rosie O’Donnell, famous actress, television presenter and author as well as winner of 11 Emmy Awards, attended the grand gala held in New York where she wore MARINA RINALDI for the occasion.

A truly glam and trendy outfit in an elegant neutral nuance. This outfit is part of the new Marina Rinaldi Luxury spring-summer 2012 collection and is made entirely of soft perforated suede which uses a couture technique to obtain a unique, sophisticated and precious crochet effect. Rosie O’Donnell completes her look by wearing a pair of black leggings. A high class and minimal chic outfit whose elegance is enclosed in its precious stylistic detailing.

Marina Rinaldi - Voyage Collection

With winter at our doorstep it’s not just the sky that becomes darker and duller but even our wardrobe. All the grey and black garments buried at the bottom of our wardrobes come to the surface and dark ladies populate the city streets. From outerwear to accessories no one escapes this total look which, at the most, mixes grey with black and brightens it up by adding an extra sparkle such as a brooch or a nice necklace, the result is the same:  black rules.

Fortunately there are those who love more delicate nuances such as neutrals which are the ultimate charm. What can be more elegant-looking than a beautiful camel or powder-coloured garment to wear all day long? Camel, in particular, is one of this winter’s great colour protagonists and in its latest collection Marina Rinaldi has decided to present it in so many different ways demonstrating its great versatility, such as in a more ladylike and sophisticated version as well as in a younger and more modern version  The result is always to illuminate the skin’s natural colour without having to add a statement accessory and to evoke the most natural sense of charm that isn’t artificial at all.  This colour, with its intense and feminine allure, is one of the most elegant colours a woman can choose to wear and it suits just about everyone from blondes to brunettes. In the Marina Rinaldi Giorno collection you can find important coats with fur edgings, beautiful longuette skirts and bouclé wool outerwears in this delicate shade. A sophisticated appeal for women who love comfort and above all the luxury of deluxe detailings which always make a difference. From Marina Rinaldi Voyage we find the softest cashmere scarves, maxi imperial and embracing stoles and beautiful velvet trousers all in camel. It’s absolutely charming and can often be teamed with unique contrasting colours like red, in an unprecedented and successful mix which we find in the very refined and soft two-tone twin sets. The look is young and fresh, very sporty-chic.

Marina Rinaldi - Daywear

The Marina Rinaldi Sport collection in particular, shows how this nuance is not a classic colour but a new neutral, suitable for all occasions and because it is a neutral colour it can be teamed up virtually with everything. As with the matelassè raincoat with black piping to be worn with a very casual or even a floral print shirt on a nice pair of jeans or with a cardigan, which replaces the jacket, over a comfortable denim lightweight shirt. Two very up-to-date, absolutely fresh and modern daytime looks to choose from. If camel is a great neutral colour, we are the ones that make the difference in the end, as we are definitely never neutral. With our personality and our fashion tastes, we can choose to make it look more sophisticated or younger-looking. The choice is up to us!

Marina Rinaldi - Fur Collar

In fashion, as in life, details always make a difference. It may be an original brooch, a scarf, a handbag or even just a special collar on a jacket. That’s what makes an outfit beautiful after all. It’s as if everyone’s eyes were on that single detail, absolutely perfect and original. In the new Marina Rinaldi 2011-2012 autumn-winter collection the season focus is fur, of course, very fashionable this year, not only as an outerwear but even as a the special touch adding ladylike glam and charm to the most simple look. Versatile and flexible, the fur is an iconic and essential element in a woman’s wardrobe and can today be the protagonist of so many versions and styles. The sophisticated and modern inspiration reveals a refined sensitivity, which is ideal for a self-assured cosmopolitan woman who wishes to stand out among the crowd by wearing outfits that can be personalised with unique and original details. Just like the long foulard scarf made of cashmere, silk and lapin in an extremely elegant neutral shade and the wide beige fox fur and macramé collar, so very delicate and romantic. Both symbolise a new chic-cocoon-like elegance. The fox fur piping is as always sublime and diva looking, which embellishes the edging of an important woollen stole and that of a boxy-cut lapin jacket, while the elegance of a pure camel double coat becomes even more chic thanks to this soft fox fur collar, ever so embracing and sensual.  Very original and stylish are the spotted orylag stole and the detachable lapin fur and knitted collar that plays with the most elegant of colour contrasts, the combination of black&white, worn with a delicate taffeta jacket, very bon ton and at the same time, very contemporary thanks to its versatility and femininity. Perfect to wear with evening garments, the wide chinchilla-effect rex lapin collar, by far the most glamorous and important fur of all, as bright as a flash of silvery light.

Marina Rinaldi - Fur Collar

The fashionistas who believe that diamonds are a woman’s best friend, are reminded, with a very special dress, that even fur coats can be very good friends … And ironically does it by slinging a silver fox fur over the shoulders of a precious diamond printed dress. A deluxe combination that will appeal to those looking for an outfit that will not only seduce for its beauty but will also impress for its originality. The entire Marina Rinaldi collection is a synthesis between the taste for experimentation, excellent certified materials and skilled craftsmanship used to create unique garments designed specifically for a woman who wants only the very best of a wearable, cultured and modern luxury.  This luxury is no longer considered an end in itself and is no longer looked upon as a status symbol, which is definitely out. So thanks to Marina Rinaldi, the fur coat becomes a dynamic outfit which sticks to contemporary rhythms and, through the search for comfort, lightness and technicality, lays down the cornerstones around which a new glamorous and sophisticated style revolve.

Marina Rinaldi Gloves - Blue Label

Among the great ladies of the big screen, there is one that has made elbow-length gloves almost her signature style, if we think of the film that established her all over the world as the Hollywood’s new star. Yes, we’re talking about Audrey Hepburn and her most iconic and famous movie, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” where she wore this beautiful accessory with sublime grace, even in daylight.

Rome honours this actress, who had an aristocratic and naturally stylish aplomb even when not on the set, with a very special tribute-exhibit held in the luminous spaces of the Ara Pacis, from 26 October to 4 December 2011, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”.  Filmed in 1961, it is considered to be by every woman in the world, romantic and fashionistas alike, not only a good movie but an authentic style manual. Not only for the little black dress, which was launched in this legendary cult movie, but especially for those beautiful black satin elbow-length gloves, which we would all love to have in our wardrobe. Because nothing quite like a glove is able to bestow such a sleek chic figure to a woman’s hand. Gloves, especially elbow-length, will be a real must-have this winter and it’s not true that they are a little over the top compared to shorter length ones.

Marina Rinaldi Gloves - Blue Label

It all depends on the materials they’re made of, and for the coming winter Marina Rinaldi has reinvented them in so many leathers, models and colours, making them a perfect accessory for the whole day. Really sexy and strong, for an ultra-feminine and glam-chic look, are those made of napa leather available in many different trendy shades. To be worn with delightful taffeta waistcoats and capes lined with warm mink, and no sleeves. Completely flat or draped, they are the utmost femininity.  Softer and ladylike is the combination of napa leather with suede, very upper class and charming. Ideally, it would be best to choose an original outerwear that leaves your arms free to show off this accessory in its entirety. Although it is always very stylish to slip off a beautiful fur or cashmere coat, such as those in the latest MR collection, only to reveal a beautiful sleeveless dress underneath to match with these gorgeous gloves.  Marina Rinaldi has of course thought of everyone, including those of you that suffer the cold the most, by creating a range of gloves in the MR Sport collection made of warm wool leaving your fingers uncovered. Very modern and young-looking, these are a real passepartout if you have a passion for the sporty-chic looks and don’t want to hide your nail art!

Marina Rinaldi Sport

Who said that winter has to be grey or black? As soon as the summer sun goes away it’s as if all the light has disappeared from our wardrobe and every bright and lively colour gone with it too. To say goodbye to bright shades is definitely not a fashion rule, it’s rather a way to adapt to the greyness of the sky that will accompany our days for months. But if the sun no longer shines or is blurred by the clouds why can’t we be sunny and bright? It’s also a great way to face the colder months with much more determination and positivity. Colours, as demonstrated by colour therapy, are good for the soul and to wear an outfit in a nice bright and lively shade, such as those proposed by Marina Rinaldi for this autumn-winter 2011/2012, is like wearing a beautiful armour full of optimism. Crepe de chine blouse and double wool crepe trousers. An elegant combination, don’t you agree? Yes of course you do, because most importantly it’s colourful! Indeed the blouse is red and the trousers are a touch of very sophisticated red. A colour combination that will impress you with its audacity and femininity which you can admire in the brand new Marina Rinaldi Giorno collection where you will find satin jackets in a dazzling turquoise proposed in an intense hue and in many other nuances, such as jade, so hot and sensual.

Absolutely chic. The upcoming winter will be a season warmed up by the fire of femininity and elegance. The Forties allure, neutral colours and precious fur inserts. The Hollywood glam is back in fashion in the new Marina Rinaldi Giorno autumn-winter 2011/2012 collection which becomes contemporary-chic for the modern woman who enjoys deluxe details, but who absolutely doesn’t want to seem retro.

Charm is, after all, ageless; it can be seen on a real woman’s face or in her character, or in a successful outfit that manages to inspire the whole world with just a few touches.

The new outfits and accessories from the Marina Rinaldi winter collection are in fact garments able to add a certain atmosphere, created for a woman who wants to stand out for her elegance and discretion. Simplicity and elegance are the style signature of this collection where you can find everything you can imagine that a true lady, from the bon chic bon genre style, would want to have in her wardrobe and show off everyday.

Marina Rinaldi coat

Beginning with the delicate silk chiffon blouses with a row of tiny buttons and a Forties style longuette skirt to be worn with sandals, even in suede with lacing around the ankle. Very sophisticated are also the long alpaca coats with a tailored and rigorous cut, embellished with maxi fox fur collars, for a glamorous and important ladylike look.

The king of accessories, as well as the foulard that has made a great comeback and is available in many delicate motifs, is the glove, tight like a second skin and available in many fashionable shades. The gloves have always been synonymous of sophistication and elegance and are by far one of the classy accessories you can choose to wear. Whether they are short or long like those worn by Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” (very popular this year since the 1961 movie celebrates 50 years), the gloves are the essence of being chic.

Marina Rinaldi Coats

There’s nothing better than a beautiful coat to make a woman feel sophisticated and feminine, ready to face the day with a perfect look. Coat or cape, the outerwear is the ultimate and absolute king of a chic and versatile winter wardrobe.

In the new Marina Rinaldi 2011/12 autumn-winter collection every woman can find the coat of her dreams that best enhances her silhouette and reflects her personality. Because nothing gives you more pleasure than wearing something that really makes you feel yourself.

Those that prefer a ladylike and delicately bon ton look will admire the splendid camel and cashmere drap coats to be matched with leather gloves and suede shoulder bag. The maxi wool and cashmere drap cape models are ever so beautiful, with important shawl-like collar or embellished by fabulous fox detailing for that true Diva look.

Absolutely glam and hyper-feminine are the precious pleated-effect lapin coats and cropped-effect jackets in pure wool double. For the more sporty women who may prefer shorter lengths no further than the knees, would love these virgin wool beaver jackets with wide and comfortable hood and the bouclè-effect models to match with a casual city look.

Marina Rinaldi Coat

If the sporty-chic charm of the navy blue woollen duffle coat with decorative frogs is evergreen, an absolute novelty for this season will be the warm and embracing knitted coats with new and intriguing proportions. To be left comfortably open as if they were maxi cardigans or zipped up, they have wide sleeves that can be rolled up as far as you wish for that boho-chic look that has now become very trendy.

And of course cape coats and capes could not miss out on this trendy and feminine winter. Marina Rinaldi capes go no further than the waist, available in many fashion nuances, to be worn as the finishing touch to a sporty-chic look.

With essential and precise lines, made of wool drap and complete with hood, they perfectly wrap the figure in a soft cocoon-like embrace for a truly special winter!
