WHY THE ICON?
This dress was introduced on the Blumarine Fall / Winter runway in 1998. It was designed by the iconic Anna Molinari the founder of the brand, who no longer designs for Blumarine. In the 90s she designed the most iconic Blumarine pieces that are now the brand's classics and are frequently recreated. It was also photographed by one of the best photographers of all time, the legendary Helmut Newton, whose works can be found in museums around the world.
