Diane von Furstenberg
It's more than a wrap
Princess, Warhol model, jetsetting businesswoman, Studio 54 party girl, mother, grandmother, fashion icon and fashion mogul: Diane von Furstenberg wears all these mantles as comfortably as she wears the wrap dress that made her a fashion legend and an inspiration to women the world over. Of her spring/summer 2008 collection von Furstenberg says:'Called "Under the Volcano" it is the fantasy of every woman to escape to an exotic island. Inspired by Bali, it is free, beautiful and colourful'
Guia La Bruna
Tradition and romance
Guia La Bruna's grandfather founded a factory in Turin which has been producing lingerie since 1935 so it was perhaps natural propgression that, following her studies at Paris's Ecole Nationale Superieure des Arts Décoratifs, La Bruna would take up the creative reigns. She raided the archive and reworked classic patterns giving them an exclusive and luxurious twist, woven using vintage lace and trims found in old storerooms. The result is a sensual lingerie collection with a romantic spirit.
Rosa Cha
Beach glamour
Seriously glamorous swimwear from Brazil, Rosa Cha uses lycra to full effect; tying, twisting cutting, binding and wrapping it around the female form for a highly charged beachwear style.
