Women’s Backless Halterneck Top in White

Founded in 1994 by Swiss-born designer Consuelo Castiglioni, Marni is an experimental brand that plays with forms, colour, prints and textures. Characterised by eclectic style and refined materials, Marni’s inspired mix of shapes and patterns are stand out season to season. A family business at heart, every single piece is designed and crafted in-house in the Milan headquarters to ensure the highest level of quality. Marni is a luxury brand that creates emotional and unique collections with an emphasis on oversized silhouettes and playful prints.

For SS16, Marni presents signature vibrancy, abstract silhouettes and layered shapes with a retro aesthetic. Triangular, asymmetric camisole aprons are the main focus of the collection; fabricated in rigid leathers, plain wools and light cottons and layered over boxy sweaters, fluid tunics and fine tank tops. With a reputation for bold colours, this season’s offering features bold primary hues which are contrasted with a seventies palette of tobacco brown, forest green and maroon. Accessories also project a sense of neo-modernity with acetate drop earrings, chunky lacquered bangles and geometric-cut sandals. Elongated flowing tunics in blush pinks feature deconstructed palm tree motifs whilst textured leaf prints adorn turquoise bombers paired under bold red vest jackets. The collection evokes movement and fluidity whilst architectural cuts add a structural dimension. Colour-blocked pieces are layered over retro, wide leg brown pants and egg yolk yellow roll neck tops adding modern vitality to the seventies-inspired collection.
