Marina Rinaldi Experience

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.

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.

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.

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!
