Blumarine

Label Overview

Designer Anna Molinari and her late husband, Gianpaolo Tarabini, started the Blumarine line in 1977 in Carpi, Italy, where the company’s headquarters are still located today. The brand now falls under Blufin SpA, the Molinari-owned holding company that encompasses Blumarine’s sibling label Blugirl, younger offshoots Miss Blumarine and Blumarine Baby, and the Anna Molinari label. The collection, known for its leopard-rose print, is rarely without a splattering of sequins. The signature pieces include the Blumarine T-shirt with the logo spelled out in Swarovski crystals and a cardigan with fur trim. The aesthetic has also fared well on an international level; the collection is carried in over 1,000 retail outlets, and reportedly turned $154 million in profits in 2007.

What's Been Said

  • She carries a giant-size zest for adventure and an endless reserve of energy. She is the walking definition of old-world Italian glamour, with big, blond hair and La Dolce Vita curves, usually wrapped in some mannar of luxe sable.
