THE BEST OF INTIMA – 01/2010 - (Page 70)

Talent Anna Maria La Bianca “As far as I can remember I’ve always been passionately attracted to silhouette drawings and the arts… I guess I’ve always known somehow that I would become a fashion designer someday!” Anna Maria la Bianca was born to be a fashion designer and has always known how to use her talent and sense of style when creating collections for Calvin Klein Underwear , Cosabella or V ictoria’s Secret… Over a twenty year career span, her sexy and glamorous approach made a difference in the world of lingerie design. The dynamic and enterprising young woman is now making her own successful stand in the business by creating her own brand of lingerie and swimwear… a remarkable challenge! Anna Maria is a perfectionist, who pays extreme attention to details, whether it be the choice of fabrics and materials, fashion trend research or textile development. For her first S/S 2010 collection she traveled to Italy , her country of origin, to seek inspiration and the most prestigious textile suppliers. The result is a timeless and sophisticated collection with an avantgarde look on fashion. The Jaguar lingerie line puts forward transparency with floral and animal designs. The Rosette line, with its original cuts, presents an astonishing selection of tank tops and dresses. The swimwear collection is just as creative. The ultra-chic, navy blue and white Swimclean line is designed from fabrics made out of recycled plastic bottles… and Anna Maria turned the tables on the traditional trikini by creating an original bathing suit, two pieces on the front and one piece in the back! The Beach Innovation line shown here, created with Italian fabric manufacturer Piave Maitex, uses techniques from the lingerie universe that were never used before. For the bathing suits, Anna Maria used a print motif inspired by lace de signs. The pareos’ patterns and motifs are the same as the swimwear line, and include a triangular bra that supports the chest without underwiring. Anna Ma ria likes to surprise, and she has done so by creating a collection out of the ordinary.
