Chromotherapy fashion with colourful cashmere scarves!

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.

One of America’s most sought-after film awards is undoubtedly the National Board of Review Award. Each year, since 1929, a prestigious association of film critics hands out its awards to the Best Film, Best Actor, Director of Photography and many other categories. And each year, as always, the parade of stars on the red carpet is quite a sight.
Even Rosie O’Donnell, famous actress, television presenter and author as well as winner of 11 Emmy Awards, attended the grand gala held in New York where she wore MARINA RINALDI for the occasion.
A truly glam and trendy outfit in an elegant neutral nuance. This outfit is part of the new Marina Rinaldi Luxury spring-summer 2012 collection and is made entirely of soft perforated suede which uses a couture technique to obtain a unique, sophisticated and precious crochet effect. Rosie O’Donnell completes her look by wearing a pair of black leggings. A high class and minimal chic outfit whose elegance is enclosed in its precious stylistic detailing.
Camel is the evergreen colour by Marina Rinaldi!

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!
