Marni

Adored by critics and devoted fans, Marni clothing refuses to be pigeonholed - but that's all part of its charm. Inspired by the worlds of art and design, Creative Director Francesco Risso takes the Milanese label to ever more colourful heights with a plethora of patterns and playful accessories.   Consuelo Castiglioni and her husband, Gianni, founded Marni in 1994. Its joyful and highly textural Italian fashion collections experiment with fabrics and shapes. Exuberant stripes, checks, swirls and artistic florals are viewed through the psychedelic Marni lens.    Bundle up in Marni knitwear, spanning jumpers and cardigans woven from warm wool. Expect relaxed shaping and eye-catching extras like sculptural buttons and tassel trims. Serving a welcome dose of sartorial serotonin, discover uplifting pieces including tailored separates in vivid bright shades. Layer up in rain-resistant shell jackets, shirts and coats. Maximise your downtime in soft cotton hoodies and sweatshirts, brought to life by logos and expressive prints.   Among the Marni accessories range you will find geometric jewellery, sunglasses and statement footwear direct from the catwalk, such as chunky sandals. Capacious, lightweight shopping totes are a practical plus-one, big and sturdy enough to carry all of your daily necessities. Look out for the brand's sans serif moniker, printed across many of its designs.
