Marina Rinaldi Experience

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.

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!
