"TARINA TARANTINO was founded in 1995 by Tarina Tarantino and Alfonso
Campos. The 1990's were the height of minimalism in the fashion world.
Accessories were almost non existent in the pages of fashion magazines and
stores. Our colorful and inventive designs were a breath of fresh air for
customers that were tired of blending into the fashion landscape. Girls looking
for ways to personalize their own style finally had a choice. We wanted to bring
accessories made with the highest quality materials infused with color, sparkle,
and unique design into the marketplace. And we believe that there should not be
any rules when it comes to creating your own personal style. Tarina's
collections had an immediate appeal to girls of ALL ages.

It all began with beads, crystals, sandpaper, inspiration and tons of
determination from our one bedroom apartment in West Hollywood. In the
beginning we did everything ourselves; design, sales, production, shipping and
PR. Eventually we hired some help and the business continued to grow. When
our apartment could no longer accommodate our little company (the bedroom
was the stockroom and we had to climb over stacks of boxes to get to the
kitchen) we found a charming studio space in West Hollywood and made it
official. We painted the walls with pearlescent colors inspired by one of our
favorite films "The Umbrellas of Cherebourg". The studio was soon frequented
by celebrities, stylists and fashion editors wanting to get their sparkling fix.
Tarina would often be asked to create last minute pieces for stars to wear to
their latest red carpet event.

Soon Tarina and her designs were appearing in every major fashion magazine
and many TV shows including Oprah, CNN & Access Hollywood. In August 1998
PEOPLE magazine did a profile story on the success of Tarina's hair jewelry and
in October 1999 INSTYLE magazine did a feature story on our wedding and the
launch of TARINA TARANTINO BRIDE. The next couple of years Tarina
continued to set trends with new and innovative Jewelry and accessory
designs. In 2002, legendary fashion icon Elio FIORUCCI invited us to open a
store inside his Italian mega-store in the center of Milan. The TARINA
TARANTINO brand quickly became the "must have" with the fashion elites. After
one year, we moved the store to a bigger location in Via Passarella. The new
store was an instant success. "
