Early 2000s
Italy
A sculptural mixed-media belt from Marni’s Consuelo Castiglioni era, combining quilted olive nylon with charcoal wool flannel in a softly architectural silhouette. Transforming the traditional belt into a structured waist piece, the design balances utilitarian materials with playful volume through a fluid ruffled wool hem and dimensional layered construction. Intended to be worn over dresses, tailoring, knitwear, or outerwear, the piece functions as both accessory and garment, reflecting Marni’s distinctive approach to texture, proportion, and unconventional femininity.
