Ciao Bella,

I don’t know about your mamas but my mom used to tell me when I was young how it is not OK to mix print with print in your outfit. This rule somehow got under my skin but as many other fashion rules, it became outdated with the time.

We have been encouraged for a while by retailers and designers to be brave enough and depart on this fashion journey of trying new things. As seen on the catwalks and on the pages of magazines, wear check with stripes, mix floral with polka dots which fashion statement obviously require a big does of self-confidence. Wear it only if you are not concerned with the neighbour and her second thoughts on your fashion choice!

The Italian luxury fashion house, Marina Rinaldi rebranded its contemporary fashion line, Persona and they surprised me with a few key pieces of the FW collection which I will show you too. The first piece was this print silk blouse which I would describe as abstract elegance. The style, the impeccable quality express Italian elegance while the floral mixed with abstract print gives a young and fresh outcome to this multicolour piece.
