MARINA RINALDI AND MARY KATRANTZOU COME TOGETHER FOR A UNIQUE CAPSULE COLLECTION

By Martina Conte

Marina Rinaldi and Mary Katrantzou announce their first collaboration which will consist of two capsule collections directly designed by the London-based Greek designer. The aim of this unique collection is to explore Mary Katrantzou’s world through her extraordinary and colorful vision.

The Greek designer is known for her magnetic prints that create silhouettes and unexpected effects on the body; in this collaboration the protagonists are marble textures that create different shadow effects. Direct inspiration for the garments are the covers of antique books made by Florentine and Venetian craftsmen and admired in the great Greek and Italian libraries. Focusing precisely on the different effects that can be perceived in the textures of the garments, the different outerwear, made with pure sartorial care, are overwhelmingly reinterpreting classics of the male wardrobe. The different shades of shadows reach their highest level thanks to a fabric made by weaving three threads that gradually fade into each other to give an additional allure to the coat with fur collar.
There are two Katrantzou prints in the capsule: Marble and Organic. The richness of the different motifs is embraced more thanks to an iridescent lurex thread or a pleat. Neoprene boots complete the look, echoing the motifs of the dress.
