Laura Corsini, pregnant again: this is the life of the founder of Bimani

"And suddenly, life surprises you." With these words, Laura Corsini began one of her latest posts to her more than 85,000 Instagram followers. She shared the good news she recently received: she is pregnant with her second child. "Grateful for the gift that is on the way and that will arrive to top off a year of so much learning. Thank you all for so much love, from the bottom of my heart," she wrote, before also thanking her "boys" for making her "permanently happy."

They, who also appear in the post with her, are none other than the businessman Javier Ibáñez Fuertes, with whom she said "I do" in July 2022 - in one of the great weddings of the year -, and Juan, her firstborn, born practically a year later, in May 2023. Precisely her wedding, whose ceremony was celebrated in the church of San Adrián, a 15th-century temple, in addition to a reception that took place at the Palacio de la Torre, all in Comillas, Cantabria, and its surroundings, is a clear example of what the influencer and businesswoman herself has made clear, which is nothing other than continuing to learn at all times.

Belén Corsini's cousin—who, interestingly, is also pregnant with her second child with Carlos Fitz-James— walked down the aisle wearing the same 1958 design worn by someone with whom she had a very special relationship, her grandmother Carmina, although she herself had customized it for the occasion. And it was this passion for fashion that led her, on the one hand, to dress all her guests and, on the other, to stardom with her own brand, Bimani.

As she explained in an open letter to all her followers, when she decided to get married in her grandmother's dress, she only had one thing in mind: "the excitement" it would bring to her and her family. And no one else. "Fashion shouldn't just be about 'what people will say.' Fashion also exists to express emotions, and I am just minutes away from experiencing the most exciting moment of my life, wearing the most special dress," she stated. Because it is precisely the world of workshops and runways into which she pours all her efforts every day, despite coming from a large family of brick-and-mortar entrepreneurs.

She founded Bimani 13 years ago —paradoxically, her brand's original name was biombo 13. "It came about spontaneously and without funding in the summer of 2012," she explains on her company's website. "I was 22 years old, had just finished my Business Administration and Management degree at ICADE, and was starting Fashion Design at Marangoni in Paris." She also recalls how "unclear" she was about her path in the fashion world after her "first internship at Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada ."

Still, as she told Vanity Fair , Laura assumed her future lay in the making, admitting that it was her mother, Sonia Santolaria del Toro, who, despite being a doctor by profession, gave her the bug and helped her take her first steps. "We set up a workshop in the kitchen and with Valentina, who worked at home and is now part of Bimani [in fact, she gave her name to some of the brand's boots], we would take the shirts and add fringes and studs... We made a name for ourselves through word of mouth," she explained.

But it was a conversation with her father, Jacobo Corsini —who, as explained by the aforementioned media, is one of the 11 children of Jacobo Corsini Marquina, who achieved business excellence thanks to Corsán, a construction company founded by his father, Carlos Corsini de Senespleda—that changed everything, because, as she herself continued to tell, they called her "seven months after starting" her own company "to work at Inditex," which she did not hesitate to describe as her dream, but those words from her father were a turning point. " He told me not to accept it and to continue with my project. That's when I decided to go full throttle," she recalled.

Because if there's one thing that connects Laura's life, it's her circle, her roots. In short, her own. That's why she continues to spend her summers in Comillas, where her family has spent their summer vacations since she was a child. A very select place where she forged an unbreakable bond with her sisters: Ana, who graduated in Energy, Fuels, and Explosives Engineering and has been associated with Deloitte for several years, and Alejandra, an interior designer by profession, are two people she trusts completely.

The three are daughters from their father's second marriage, who also had three other children with his first wife, Fe Pérez Torrens, who passed away in 2018. They are Jacobo, husband of Lucía Delibes, niece of Miguel Delibes; Álvaro, husband and partner of chef Cristina Oria; and Marta, who, after working at the Prado Museum, now has her own interior design studio. "We get together for family meals once a month and on one trip a year that we all look forward to," Lucía has stated about the good relationship she also has with this branch of her family.

It's precisely this close-knit atmosphere with all her family that she strives to convey, and she's taken it to Pozuelo de Alarcón, where she and her husband own a two-story, 700-square-meter house with a large garden, and its rooms often serve as the perfect backdrop for her Instagram photos . Because she's constantly consolidating her brand, which has already become a staple among the upper class, especially those in Madrid. And she's always looking for new things. Although her ultimate goal would be to open a store in the exclusive Parisian neighborhood of Saint Germain, for now, she's only making small ones. The latest: a collection for brides and guests of major events.
