Designer Spotlight: DESPI

With so many great swimwear collections out there it's sometimes hard to stand out in a crowd. Somehow Brazilian designer Despina Filios has not only managed to stand out, but stands heads above the rest.  Despi launched in 2007 and has been taking the world by storm. Her suits have been featured in some of the top fashion magazines around the world. Inspired by the vibrant life in Rio de Janeiro her collections reflect the color, style, and patterns that make Despi one of a kind. They are known for their playful, flirty and sophisticated style with exaggerated detail and embellishments such as leather, stones, crystal and beading. 

One of the things that Despi's loyal customers love about the brand is the coverage options they provide. Their suits come in both Full and Brazilian cut which really caters to the demands for a variety of options when it comes to coverage.

With such a wide variety of cuts and styles picking just one suit from their newest collection may be hard to do. So if you are struggling to decide I say buy them all! But let's just say that you are looking for one great option for now, I would definitely take a look at the amazing selection of one-pieces in this year's 2015 line. From sweetheart necklines, cut-outs and amazing patterns and embellishments these one-pieces will have you looking stunning all summer long. 

For us here at AWB Despi will always hold a special place in our hearts as it was the very first brand that we carried oh so many years ago. It has been amazing for us to watch their stylistic journey and to see their line evolve and change just as we have over the years. So enjoy a sneak peak of some of our new favorites from Despi 2015 and see why they are definitely a Designer to Love!

A Perfect Pairing

 

Summers are all about being on the go. From coast to coast, no matter where your vacations may take you, finding essential pieces for packing can make all the difference.  Beach friendly pants are one of these key items. They are simple and easy to pack and are a great multifunctional staple. These pants are great as a cover up while spending the day on the beach or walking around and checking out the sites. They play double duty when dressed up with a great pair of shoes, a blouse, and some fun accessories for a night on the town. With so many ways to wear these pants you will save plenty of room in your suitcase this summer for extra bikinis!
