Life Imitates Art: Welcome to the World of Marni

Since its launch in 1994, Italian brand Marni has garnered a cult following for its quirky but refined aesthetic. The mastermind behind the brand, Consuelo Castiglioni, maintains a consistent vision each season, while also proposing a fresh perspective in a distinctly Marni way. With her discerning eye and magic touch comes unconventionally flattering silhouettes in a wonderful mish-mash of prints, shapes and patterns.

From the avant-garde feel of Marni, it’s easy to see that art is a driving inspiration. Explore the world’s famed museums decked out in Marni for a day full of color, emotion and inspiration.

Musée Rodin

Famed sculptor Auguste Rodin’s works are housed in a magnificent hôtel particulier in the center of Paris. Some of his most famous sculptures are displayed in the beautiful garden, looking like they might come to life at any second. Roam the gardens in a pair of architectural Marni heels and a geometric statement necklace. The modern Marni pieces will look stunning juxtaposed with Rodin’s classic sculptures.

Museum of Modern Art

From Van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’ to Jackson Pollock’s ‘One: Number 31’, soak in the most iconic modern art at New York City’s MoMA. Take in the masterpieces wearing a Marni dress with a printed textile that could easily be hung on the walls as artwork. Slip on a pair of menswear-inspired shoes and store a notebook to jot down your favorite paintings in Marni’s signature structured trunk bag.

Fondation Beyeler

Tucked away in the suburbs of Basel, Switzerland, the Beyeler Foundation houses the collection of Hildy and Ernst Beyeler. The architecture of the light-drenched museum, creating a perfect fusion of art, nature and light, is as breathtaking as the artworks themselves. Tour the museum in style and comfort with Marni’s beloved frumpy chic shoes, culottes and a floral top, and head straight to the picturesque pastures that surround the museum for a picnic afterwards.

Art holds no boundaries, just like the experimental approach Consuelo Castiglioni takes when she designs. Life will always be colorful and vibrant when you wear Marni.

You’ll be anything but a wallflower in Marni.
