The New-Jersey

Malleable and pliable, extra slim or heavy, elegant but discreet.

Hands up who doesn’t have at least one in their wardrobe. From the courageous experiments at the beginning of the century up to the present day, jersey has branched out on different paths. We’ve seen it taking shape in slinky evening dresses (certainly the marvellous one-piece jumpsuit signed Marina Rinaldi isn’t the last!), becoming a loyal ally of our leisure time, bestowing us with the comfort of almost impalpable underwear. Never a failure – at most a tremor – and there it is, impeccable, back in its place. Its non-noble origins of a heavy knitted fabric, soft and naturally elastic, used by fishermen on the English island of Jersey, probably didn’t give it the chance to reveal its noble qualities at first glance. But with time, even fashion came to love its flexibility and to search for increasingly elegant ways to exploit it by blending yarns of cotton, wool, viscose and elastam. Until it became a must-have fabric, by those who wear it and the stylists, always ready to decline it in their collections.

Now Marina Rinaldi proposes it in infinite variations,  from the chenille jersey tracksuits, icon of comfortable elegance to wear with fresh T-shirts (in jersey too of course!), to ultrachic and bon ton dresses to wear all day long and on all occasions, that slide over the body, redesigning the figure. And if you’re about to leave for your holidays (lucky you!), it’s unquestionably the most strategic fabric to go for: it is lightweight, it breathes and is absorbent, it doesn’t crease much (if at all) and returns to its original look with the same ease. Perfect inside and outside the suitcase, now’s the best time to buy a stock! And you’ll have an irreplaceable companion all summer long.
