No, no relation to writer – producer Quentin Tarantino, but definitely just as talented. Tarina Tarantino walked the runways of Paris as a model before returning to her home town of Los Angeles to become a makeup artist, and in 1995 she co-opened her self titled business Tarina Tarantino, a jewelry and accessories line.
According to Tarina Tarantino and her business partner Alfonso Campos ”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.”
With this motto in hand Tarina Tarantino became an instant success among celebs like Heidi Klum, Nicki Minaj, Kelly Osbourne, Pink and Katy Perry. Tarina Tarantino has graced the pages of every major fashion magazine including being featured on Oprah, CNN and Access Hollywood.
Tarina Tarantino has also worked on collaborations with The Wizard of Oz , Hello Kitty, Barbie, and Alice and Wonderland.
We love the youthful, vintage and playful essence of the line. Tarina Tarantino definitely has a special way of making us feel like a kid again, in a fun and sophisticated way.
So the next time you want to play dress up – accessorize with a Tarantino!
