Marina Rinaldi by Antonio Berardi Capsule Collection
A new partnership for Marina Rinaldi that entrusts Antonio Berardi with the task of interpreting the brand’s values for the FW 20/21 season. The intense, strong-willed look of the designer of Italian origin is the protagonist of this first capsule collection, that made its debut during Milan Fashion Week in February and will be followed by a second chapter for SS 2021.
Born in the United Kingdom to Sicilian parents, and for years a standout in the international fashion scene, for this collection the designer took inspiration from some of his most iconic pieces, often worn by women of unquestionable allure and charisma, and then redesigned them to fully convey the Marina Rinaldi look.
“This project is a window that opens wide onto two worlds – mine and Marina Rinaldi’s – which share a true affinity. For me it’s a homecoming, because I have a sincere bond with the fashion house ever since about 25 years ago I first went into a brand boutique to buy a gift for my mother. It was a great discovery, the entrance into a world of women, curvy or otherwise, all so glamorous”, explains Berardi.
This first capsule fully respects the identities of both, confronting the need for modernity intrinsic to fashion. And paying the utmost attention to the collection’s details, even those that are less evident.
Jackets featuring trompe l’oeil lapels with well-designed proportions on the body have sleeves designed to reveal refined gloves embellished with a chain-bijou appliqué, a distinctive mood element, like the important golden multi-chain necklaces.

The blazers go with waisted skirts, sleeveless mermaid dresses or slim trousers that extend to just above the ankle. Sensual lacing inspired by corsets enriches the back of jackets and the hips of skirts and pencil dresses.
The face of the capsule collection is the American supermodel Guinevere Van Seenus, whose soft yet slender figure reaffirms a fundamental concept for the brand: Marina Rinaldi dresses all women, paying always great attention to the many different body types.
