Princess of prints
MARINA RINALDI’S LATEST PARTNERSHIP IS CREATING A BRIGHT, NEW BUZZ – AND WE’RE LOVING IT,
Bold, bright, beautiful: get ready for Marina Rinaldi’s new collection
Tasteful colour palettes, clean, sophisticated lines – surely there’s nothing simpler when it comes to spring/summer dressing. And with the playful, eccentric vibe that’s currently fizzing through the fashion world, there’s no better time to embrace the bold, bright and beautiful. Step forward Marina Rinaldi – the luxury Italian label for women size 12 and above – who are certainly ticking all the style boxes this season with their newest collaboration: think classic style teamed with punchy prints and a menagerie of quirky accessories.
Following previous collaborations with Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos (characterised by pretty pastels) and Japanese designer Tsumori Chisato (who worked with the brand for two highly successful seasons), Haitian-italian designer Stella Jean has used her love of bright colour and exotic prints to create a capsule collection for spring/summer 2017. It positively radiates joy: think pussy-bow blouses in poppy red, flared satin skirts covered in geometric shapes, soft cotton tees featuring hopscotch motifs and abstract octopus designs, and long dresses with African-inspired prints. It’s relaxed, fun and definitely fabulous – surely how the best fashion should feel.
The brand’s main capsule collection is feeling the ‘Stella effect’, too. Alongside the classic palette sit zebra prints, graphic-patterned belted tops and jewel-toned satin jackets. And with Jean confirmed for a follow-up collection in the autumn, the future is most definitely bright.
