The collaboration between Marina Rinaldi and Teresa Maccapani Missoni returns for a second chapter, and this time, it's fluid. The designer - one of Angela Missoni's daughters and a granddaughter of the house's founders, Ottavio and Rosita - has crafted a see-now, buy-now capsule that channels the movement and mystery of water. It's a natural evolution from her debut, which drew on childhood memories of antique markets with the Missoni matriarchs. Now, she dives deeper into a sense of effortless ease, offering caftans, asymmetrical blouses, and wide-legged trousers in cotton gauze, jersey, and a denim-like linen. The palette shifts from classic navy and black to coral, turquoise, and bright pink, with seaweed-inspired patterns and pearl-like details along necklines. Accessories echo the underwater theme: mesh handbags dotted with transparent beads, and jewelry that mimics octopus tentacles and tiny anchovies. Prices range from €120 for T-shirts to €599 for long chemisiers, available at Marina Rinaldi boutiques and online. This collaboration is more than a trend; it's a continuation of Marina Rinaldi's legacy of size-inclusive fashion, dating back to the 1980s, when the brand first championed body positivity in luxury apparel. Past partnerships with designers like Mary Katrantzou, Roksanda Ilincic, and Sara Battaglia have furthered that mission. With Battaglia, the label adopted the see-now, buy-now model in 2024 - a format that now feels perfectly suited to Maccapani Missoni's spontaneous, water-like flow.
