You’ve seen the designer, or inspired designs, in stores. Who is Marni? Here’s a quick breakdown from the StyleMint.
Logo: a strong statement in bold, black, block lettering. We’ve got the typography here - usual sans-serif letters on a clean white background.
Signature Elements: this label is known for its geometry. Cutouts of circles, semicircles, and triangles — if this label were around in high school, you definitely would have paid more attention in geometry class.
This is one of the only designers that clearly spells out the intangible feeling that their bags are meant to evoke, with website areas named Art Garden and Industrial Interaction. Fashion is art here. http://www.marni.com
Famous accessories: Slouchy bags, resin for cufflinks, and sky high wedges. One of the most well-known designs, seen in Canal Street booths and knockoff fashion stores, is the slouchy crescent purse. Actually, the color here really resembles a buttery breakfast croissant, and the leather is every bit as soft as you’d imagine. The price point hovers at $1075.
Founder: Swiss designer Consuelo Castiglioni gained her education in Milan, showing her first collection in 1994.
