A story that stands out for creative talent, entrepreneurial wit and emotional intensity. With Blumarine, Anna Molinari describes the complicity between fashion and women. Life, work, love, family, harmoniously share the same dimension.

Through a selection of images shot by charismatic photographers like Albert Watson, Helmut Newton, Tim Walker, Ellen von Unwerth and Craig McDean, fashion editor such as Manuela Pavesi and art director as M/M Paris, and illustrated by descriptive text, keywords are analysed to extensively explain the elements of Blumarine grammar.

The book begins with a long essay by Elena Loewenthal: The queen of roses. A biography of Anna Molinari written by a friend who knows her deeply and candidly outlines her life and her personality.
