"All my work as a feminist designer is inspired by muses. Powerful female icons from past and present. Although women have been marginalized for centuries, archetypes of female power have always been there. Through my designs, I bring them to you. To help us shape the world of modern-day feminism.

The world is your juicy oyster, especially during summer. So many pearls to pick, so many possibilities! Dare to shine unapologetically, whether you're swimming, gardening, dancing wildly in your kitchen or lounging glamorously by the pool. Yes, it's possible to be a feminist and a domestic goddess. To celebrate your femininity and your independence. And to look smashing while doing so, as the women in these pictures show. Marilyn Monroe knew what was up when she said: "Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition." Why limit yourself? Go get it, girl! Work hard, pick the fruits, use them to make your own delicious jam. Lick your fingers. Self-sufficiency is the new sexy. My SS25 swimwear collection is a sunny celebration of feisty feminine feminism. Luxury meets long-lasting quality in these timeless, ultra-flattering designs. I used luscious fabrics, eye-catching details and vibrant colors to create a true fiesta for the eye. As versatile as you are, these summer staples make it oh so simple to be a Summer Goddess: just slip into these gorgeous bikinis and swimsuits and follow your passions wherever they lead. Make a splash. Bake a peach pie. Turn the pool into your catwalk. Dare to infuse your daily activities - yes, even ironing! - with La Dolce Vita flair. Because you can. Because the world is your oyster. And you, the brightest pearl, are shining at its center."
