Nini Marini, an artist and self-taught painter, says “Luxe-Bohemian” best describes her personal style, and she loves wearing very “free”, soft clothing that drapes on her body without clinging to it.

The 1970s and 1980s are the era she looks to for style inspiration, such as jumpsuits, kaftan tops, pantaloons or harem pants, maxi dresses, long gypsy skirts made with silk, adding a contemporary twist by pairing them with statement accessories, bold colours, prints and mixing fabrics of different kinds (soft and structured).
