MARINA RINALDI SS 22 BEACHWEAR CAPSULE

A small island rich in colour, breezes and history. This is Ventotene, the crown jewel of the Pontine archipelago off the coast of Lazio, where the Emperor Augustus, enthralled by the sea and wild nature, had a villa built at the end of the first century BC. There, the small houses are brimming with shades of yellow and pink, which blend in with the intense blue of the Tyrrhenian waters, much like the Marina Rinaldi beachwear range for SS 2022.

Swimsuits, floaty caftans, long skirts and roomy trousers that pair with drop-shoulder tunics capture the emotion of arriving on the island and letting the slow sunset over the sea and the mighty volcanic rocks enchant you.

Caftans with long bell sleeves or short sleeves that stop before the elbow bring a sense of total freedom and are embellished with elegant, decorative embroidery. Ankle-length skirts move elegantly thanks to their floaty frills and boast multicoloured striped waistbands. The motifs blend intricate geometric patterns and large floral prints. The surprising mixtures, which combine all-over decorations and solid colours, bring these motifs to life.
