Founded in 1977 in Carpi, Italy, by Anna Molinari and her husband Gianpaolo Tarabini, Blumarine is defined by a romantic and unabashedly feminine design language. Molinari, dubbed the "Queen of Roses," established the brand's core identity through her love of floral prints, with the rose becoming a signature emblem seen across collections. The house quickly gained recognition for its sensual and charming aesthetic, blending pastel angora knits, fur-trimmed cardigans, and delicate lace dresses that celebrated the female form. Early advertising campaigns shot by legendary photographer Helmut Newton were pivotal in shaping Blumarine's provocative yet romantic image.
