Banshee

Other stories portray them as dressed in green or black with a grey cloak. Saks Fifth Avenue also holds a special event for her honoring the success of her line in the United States. Banshees are frequently dressed in white and often have long, fair hair which they brush with a silver comb, a detail scholar Patricia Lysaght attributes to confusion with local mermaid myths. Blumarine is currently expanding it's fashion lines to Russia and other places,where it can be found in some of the most famous stores. In these tales, hearing the banshee's wail came to predict a death in the family and seeing the banshee portends one's own death. . Similarly, the funeral lament became a mournful cry or wail by which the death is heralded. During those times, there were only a few items.

When these oral narratives were first translated into English, a distinction between the "banshee" and other fairy folk was introduced which does not seem to exist in the original stories in their original (Irish or Scottish) Gaelic forms. Both times, it was met with success. Tales recount how, when the family member had died far away then the appearance or, in some tales, the sound of the fairy keener, might be the first intimation of the death. In 1981 the fashion line was featured in the first fashion show during fashion week. Traditionally, some great Gaelic families had a fairy woman associated with them, who would make an appearance after a death in the family to sing this lament. the Blumarine fashion line debuted in 1980 at the Modit, a small fashion premiere in Milan. These women singers are sometimes referred to in English as "keener". The name was inspired by Molinari and Tarabini's favorite color and their love for the sea^[2].

When members of the community died, a woman would sing a traditional lament or caoineadh at their funerals. The late designer Franco Moschino also helped the company develop a "look" of edgy romanticism.^[1] This look has been continued by Molinari, who remains the company's chief designer. The sídh are derived from pre-Christian Gaelic deities. Blumarine is a fashion company that was created in 1977 in the town of Carpi in Italy by Anna Molinari and her husband Gianpolo Tarabini. The banshee (IPA: /ˈbænʃiː/) is a creature in Gaelic folklore, the word being derived from the Old Irish ben síde, modern Irish bean sídhe or bean sí, "fairy woman" (bean, woman, and sidhe, being the tuiseal ginideach or possessive case of "fairy").
