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. Their 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. They wanted to bring accessories made with the highest quality materials infused with color, sparkle, and unique design into the marketplace. And they 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 their one bedroom apartment in West Hollywood and soon they found a charming studio space in West Hollywood and made it official. 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. 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 them 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.
