Marina Rinaldi Experience

Have you already seen the backstage video posted here? As announced in previous post, here you will find the interview with some of the participants at the “My Beautiful Torino” event.  The proceeds from the sale of the book will be donated to Area o.n.l.u.s, a non-profit charity organisation.

On 27 April 2011 in Florence, a city of great international renown, Marina Rinaldi will be opening the store in via Panzani 1, refurbished.

Marina Rinaldi - Tribute to Florence

There will be a real ‘Tribute to Florence’ for this occasion. A project called “Florentine Madonnas“: 13 famous women from the aristocracy, entrepreneurship and government establishments have been photographed by the portrait artist Lorenzo Poccianti.

Their photos will be put on show on 28 April at the Teatro Comunale during the Premiere of the Florentine Maggio Musicale that Marina Rinaldi is co-sponsoring.
A Gala Dinner in the Piccolo Teatro for 300 esteemed guests, among which Sofia Loren, will close the evening.

Dresden is known as “Florence of the Elbe” because of its many baroque and rococo style buildings and the river Elbe that defines its contours.

But if its beauty remains unknown to most people, friends of Marina Rinaldi will surely have a great reason to visit Dresden: in Toepferstrasse 2, in fact, (as we had announced) a new boutique has just opened for those in search of MR collections.

In an area of 100 m2, within walking distance of both Hofkirche and Zwinger along a pedestrian zone where most of the architectural masterpieces of the city and the most important art galleries converge, you can find Marina Rinaldi clothes and accessories (for all occasions DAY-NIGHT-CEREMONY- SPORT, including the NEW Denim Collection recently featured in the shop window), immersed as always in an atmosphere of elegant design, made ​​up of minimal furnishings and neutral tones, interspersed with wood and chrome details.

But also journalists, bloggers, Marina Rinaldi devoted friends and ordinary people.

Marina Rinaldi - My beautiful Torino

From the glamorous icon Emma Agnelli to the President of the Teatro Stabile di Torino Evelina Christillin, from the art collector Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo to the watercolourist Paolo Galetto and many others.

Last Thursday saw a succession of diverse people and personalities from Turin, sharing that same understatement that is so dear to the city (which has so much in common with Marina Rinaldi collections), giving life to a very successful event to celebrate the restyling of the new Marina Rinaldi store in Piedmont’s regional capital.

A convivial drink in a chic and rigorous place like the host city, but rich in that liveliness that Turin sparingly shows, in which the clothes are arranged along the perimeter of the walls and the rest of the space is dedicated to a meeting area. A space for culture, ideas and art where installations can find a place like the white tree decorated by Paul Galetto’s watercolours that currently faces the passers-by in one of the flagship store windows.

Fashion cannot disregard the world that surrounds it and Marina Rinaldi is well aware of this. This is why the showroom restyling was also the opportunity to present a book, “My beautiful Torino”, which looks into the “peculiar nature of Turin’s inhabitants” through interviews with some of Turin’s well-known female personalities. The proceeds will be donated to Area Onlus, a non-profit organisation dedicated to helping children and young people with disabilities.

We now leave you with a backstage video and soon with that of the event showing the interviews with the protagonists.

The warm season brings with it the desire to get out and stroll in the sun, which returns to shine at last after the long winter months. Backing up the desire for movement in maximum comfort and style, what better than a lovely stretch cotton jogging suit to wear over a viscose jersey t-shirt.

But fashion is above all customisation, so why settle for just three coordinated pieces? Sweatshirt, t-shirt and pants…it’s true, the jogging suit has now become an everyday item, worn any time of the day. But every time of the day is different! So have fun and mix and match the three pieces of your suit, maybe with a pretty coloured and embroidered t-shirt to add a touch of glamour to your sporty look.

In the new Marina Rinaldi spring-summer 2011 collection, you will find lots of patterned and printed t-shirts, perfect for adding an extra touch to your look. From jungle fever, very trendy this year, to multicoloured on a white background, full of Pollock-style colour splashes! Or those with sequined embroidery, also in the form of a romantic bow, for a sporty yet oh-so-feminine look.

As you know, elegance lies in the details, and even in a jogging suit, once the symbol of practical clothing with no dream of elegance, you can express all your style and personality. But in the new Marina Rinaldi collection you won’t find only brightly coloured patterned t-shirts. Colour also dominates the suits, which come in lots of original shades, like shocking pink, and many different materials, from cotton to chenille through to shiny silk.

And for those who, more than the classic suit prefer plush jogging dresses with drawstrings and hoods, you’re spoiled for choice with a range of colours, models and sizes. The jogging dress combines comfort and femininity, the perfect fashion solution for the city. Marina Rinaldi proposes it not only in grey, but also navy blue, and in leather-effect washed silk, so sophisticated.

More than a jogging dress, almost an original cocktail dress, perfect for an aperitif with the girls!

A golden opportunity to admire a top selection of the most significant looks of the upcoming spring-summer 2011 collection and to learn some tricks about dressing. How to look thinner, how to show off your figure by exalting your strong points and hiding your faults because believe it or not, there is no woman in world that does not have at least one fault.

The exciting event was livened up by the first warmth of the Roman sun and by the enthusiasm of the brand’s devoted customers that gathered in Marina Rinaldi’s store in via Tuscolana, only a step away from Cinecittà. The show saw the participation of Marina Rinaldi’s model Monica, with her sweet smile and Elisa D’Ospina, curvy icon and famous plus size top model.

The two models walked the catwalk not only showcasing the seasonal trends but also everything that can help in choosing the right look for the right event. The range went from casual tracksuits to what to wear to a première or a religious ceremony. As well as the perfect outfit for a happy hour or a night out at the disco, which saw the return of vibrant pop colours and graphic white and black for a VIP event.
