About THE INSPIRATION
THE PEONY: REGAL AESTHETIC ICON
Elegant appearance, exquisite symbolism and noble origins. The Peony is the inspirational muse of the Capsule.
Revered and cultivated in Chinese imperial gardens, it soon became an aesthetic icon of oriental culture and art.
As a symbol of pure beauty, strong femininity and nobility of spirit, it perfectly embodies the values of the Marina Rinaldi woman.
About THE CAPSULE
Presented in eight exclusive looks, the Elegante Capsule embodies a contemporary and absolute aesthetic. Marina Rinaldi and Zuhair Murad skilfully combine high-quality workmanship with the sophistication of exclusive designs.
Each piece is distinguished by its luxurious details and exquisite hand-sewn finishes, embodying a unique and extraordinary level of craftsmanship. Through extensive analysis and research into the art of embroidery, distinctive designs inspired by the peony have been brought to life.
