Marina Marinof

Marina Marinof is a Belgian fashion stylist and the daughter of Wenda Marinof, founder of Wenda department stores and boutiques in Belgium. She studied at La Cambre, Brussels’s school of visual arts. In 1991, Wenda Marinof and her daughters Marina and Lara began designing their own clothing line. In 2000, Marina partnered with French cosmetics company Club des Créateurs de Beauté to launch a fragrance and cosmetics line. The brand’s visual identity drew on her Russian origins, with Russian-doll imagery incorporated into its fragrance packaging. Her first fragrance, C’est rien que du bonheur, was introduced through the partnership in a red Russian-doll-shaped bottle and nominated in the Women’s Fragrance Introduction of the Year—Mass Appeal category at the 2003 Fragrance Foundation Awards.
