When it comes to fashion, Italy is at the top. So it is no surprise that the boot-shaped country keeps producing successful and innovative labels - such as Marni. In 1994, the brand was founded by Creative Director Consuelo Castiglioni and her husband Gianni astiglioni in the fashion capital Milan. The first successes were not long in coming: just one year later, Consuelo presented her Marni collections at Milan Fashion Week.
Marni's cuts were absolutely up to date. Castiglioni's goal: With her unconventional fashion for women, she wanted to create a space that loudly calls out: Be yourself. That's why the designer relied on strong and unusual colors, in constant mix and match with geometric patterns and unique materials. The baseline of the in-your-face aesthetic, however, always remained functionality, so that the brand's clothing with high fashion prices also works well in everyday life. In 1998, Marni included trendy bags and sneaker in its collections, followed by the first line for men's fashion in 2002.
Time for a change: In 2016, the Castiglioni family decided to get out of the Marni business. Enter Francesco Risso. The Italian and former Prada designer was appointed creative director of Marni and has continued the brand's unique look ever since. Risso places particular emphasis on viewing clothing and its production as a work of art: With his aesthetic sense, he constantly reinterprets fashion, so Risso works with deconstruction and free-spirited silhouettes that always carry the spirit of Consuelo Castiglioni.
His success proves him right: Marni is now one of the hot topics in the fashion world. From high to low - the brand produces innovative designs for the runway or the world-famous MET gala as well as basics such as Marni pullovers, sweaters or shirts , which are absolute streetwear highlights. Collaborations can also be found in the brand's repertoire - such as the super nice Veja x Marni sneaker collab or a Marni x H&M collection, which made Marni's bright colors and patterns available to a wide range of fashion lovers.
