Inspired by the French Riviera and the Amalfi Coast, CIAO LUCIA pieces have many vintage references – Victorian blouses, smocking, waist-defining silhouettes… The fabrics are chosen with the body in mind – things that feel good on the skin and are great for throwing in your suitcase. Envision a someone at a beautiful seaside hotel in Europe, tanning by the water, taking long afternoon strolls, and having lengthy dinners with friends. The line is very nostalgic for designer Lucy Akin, as Italian graphic design became one of her passions – she collected vintage postcards from Italy and old liquor posters from Contreau and Martini.
