Marni’s SS22 New Arrivals

Known for their funky and unique aesthetic, Marni is no stranger to delivering a staple with a twist.

About Marni

The brand was founded in Milan in 1994 by a Swiss designer named Consuelo Castiglioni, who created her like-no-other garments and delivered them to the globe online. It wasn’t until 2000 when a store first opened in London and since then, Marni is seen in many high-end department stores and continues to provide playful patterns to homes around the globe. Take a look at the Marni new arrivals.

The playful hoodie duo:

Combining Marni’s creative designs with staple everyday pieces, Marni’s new arrivals introduces the Hooded sweatshirts in black and orange. Showing a simple and sleek colourway to the front, featuring a carton-styled branding to the left of the chest in the contrasting colour. This regular fit hoodie is constructed from pure soft cotton, designed with all-year-round wear in mind. The hood and kangaroo pouch pocket doubles up as a hand warmer compartment. Standing out against the dark fabric background, playful cartoon-inspired patterning displays to the back of the hoodie in contrasting colours. Wear on colder days with trousers and a large coat, and you’re guaranteed to stay warm all day.

Striped Logo Sweatshirt in Ivory:

With its lightened colouring and its noted sportswear roots, this Marni Striped Logo Sweatshirt in Ivory arrives as part of the brand’s latest seasonal collection. Crafted from soft but breathable cotton, this loop-back profile features cuffed sleeves, an elasticated hemline, and a comfortable crew neck collar across the neckline that’s designed to retain its shape even through the most demanding of wears. Across the immediate centre of the chest, a tiger-striped pattern displays the branding ‘MARNI’ to complete the look.

Simple but effective Logo T-shirts in Green and White:

Arriving as part of Marni’s new arrivals in a warming green colour and a crisp white, this regular-fitting Marni t-shirt has been made in Italy from 100% cotton for comforting day-on-day wear. Created with a crew neckline for shape retention and colour-matched reinforced stitching for long last durability. Elevated with a striped cartoon style logo, this tee has a safari-inspired feel to it. Style with our favourite denim or trousers and as seen here, with Marni’s black and blue wallet.

Wallet in Black and Blue:

Designed to help keep cash and cards stored securely across any everyday setting, the Marni wallet is crafted from 100% leather and is styled to a striking monochrome colourway of black and dark blue. Known for their avant-gardist graphics and their continued love of unique designs, this wallet is styled with an adjustable neck strap, meaning it is never leaving your side, literally. This made in Italy piece is designed with partitioned compartments, including internal card slots and plenty of space to stash old receipts. To complete this handy piece, a logo print to the front reads ‘MARNI’ for instant brand recognition.

A practical trio to help you through our day:

Marni continues to keep your accessory game to the max with the shopping bags in blue, green, and orange, all with one side showing a sleek black front. This colourful trio provides a spacious main compartment offering practical self-stash functionality as well as large straps to help pair with any bigger outfit during colder days. The orange and blue bags show 100% calf leather half and calfskin handles to go. A removable leather label is added for extra brand recognition while a simple brand logo is seen to the top in white. The green shopping bag shows a different, more hard-wearing cellulose fibre material, however, the practical features and size remain unchanged. Signed off with a monochrome black and white printed ‘MARNI’ logo, in a striped cartoon style.

Introducing Marni AW21 Menswear Collection

Here at Aphrodite, we’re no strangers to an Italian fashion house, we have a range of the country’s finest exports already dominating our roster, including DSquared2, Stone Island, and C.P. Company, and this year we’ve added another lauded Italian label to our collection. Going by the name of Marni, this ‘90s born, family-ran empire is rapidly changing the status quo of Milanese fashion and we’ve just buckled in to enjoy the ride.

Founded by Swiss designer Consuelo Castiglioni in the year of ‘94, Marni first set up shop in Milan – the home of Castiglioni’s husband (and now Marni CEO) Gianni Castiglioni. For a good few years the womenswear division at Marni made up much of its inception and it wasn’t until 2002 when Marni’s menswear department finally arrived. Since 2012, the imbalance between womenswear and menswear has been rectified. Only The Brave (Marni’s International Holding Group) acquired a greater degree of power over the business, resulting in the menswear division racking up a larger capacity within the core focus.

Unlike its Italian counterparts, Marni does away with ‘trend fashion’, choosing instead to experiment with colour and fabrication. In other words, this brand does not play it safe. Rejecting the mainstream is a brave move for any fashion brand but for this nineties baby, it sure has paid dividends. Billowy silhouettes, plush materials and an exaggerated colour palette blend to bring together the modern-day Marni aesthetic.

The Marni AW21 Menswear Collection is awash with fuzzy fabrics thanks to creative director Francesco Risso; brushed alpaca and mohair both make their way into the accessories and knitwear offerings. Shopper bags are larger than life, available in glazed cherry hues and glossy blacks, go ahead and transport your goods in serious style when you purchase one of those nifty storage solutions. Tops are hooded and overtly slouchy, meaning they’re instantly street-approved – throw-on and enter urban dimensions.
