Marina Rinaldi Experience

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!

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.

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.

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 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.

Marina Rinaldi Voyage

Have fun by matching them up, accessorising with a basic colour that will blend them together: for example, if you wear a nice black belt, choose a lovely pair of shoes or a shopping bag in the same colour and you’ll be perfect! If you love red then it’s time to let yourself be seduced by the soft cashmere sweaters and twin sets proposed in the new Marina Rinaldi Voyage collection, incredibly chic if matched with the neutral shades of warm jackets, big and embracing scarves and velvet pants. You will find beautiful red outerwears even in the Marina Rinaldi Sport collection where beautiful padded jackets and satin silk blouses will add a magnetic and passionate allure to your look. If you adore feminine and seductive outerwears and nothing beats the charm of a beautiful jacket? Then take a look at the Marina Rinaldi Blue Label collection where you will find warm wool and angora drap jackets available in so many unusual shades, like electric blue, to add an extra shock to your winter!

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. This is why she chooses the Marina Rinaldi design as she’s sure of finding the right combination between past and present.

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.

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.
