and they're proud to say that they've kept to their side of the deal!
Using only Liberty of London fabrics ensures their promise is kept and 
the same luxurious quality is delivered throughout each collection.

Spring/ summer 2011 they have been utterly inspired by Liberty's 'Story Book Collection'
created by a number of established , as well as up and coming illustrations. 
Big name illustrator Quentin Blake even adapted his own illustration-' L is for Legs' especially for Liberty's Spring/ Summer fabric collection.

As well as Blake's quirky prints they have fallen head over heels 
of award winning author-illustrator Polly Dunbar's' ten dancing princesses'- all, 
of course dressed in gorgeous Liberty prints!

Spring/ summer 2011 boats exquisitely created, easy – to- wear pieces 
with Linen Lawn' trademark wonderful simple aesthetic. 
They beautiful creations that are always chic, modern, yet classic, 
and this season is no exception.
The collections is all handmade and the fabrics have been used 
for this season are silk/cotton voile, crisp lana lawn and super –
soft jersey cotton.

So Margaret ' the designer of Linen Lawn, says whether it's a wedding, 
garden party or simply for lounging in luxury we want your summer
to look Picture Book pretty....and in the words of Ms Dunber we want to ensure 
all our Linen lawn ladies shall ' go to the ball' dressed in

Le Curine di Ida Di Bella

This week DiGuardo Boutique is pleased to present the amazing Sicilian collection of Ida Di Bella!!





The so-called  Sicilian"coffee" is special bags (or baskets) made with the leaves to keep, called "curina", the dwarf palm, and a typical plant of the Mediterranean basin.
Traditionally, the "coffee" served to feed the donkey carts of the famous tie Sicilians.
 Handmade and sewn by hand by our craftsmen, we made a passion of art, artifacts are typical today, used for plaiting or to the broom or embellished and decorated in keeping with the style carts, colorful, chic and imaginative.
The workshop scholarships Ida has its headquarters in Erice (Trapani-Sicilia) and is designed to achieve collections fruit of his strong creativity and imagination. The collection of "Le Curine" springs from the art and holds firmly to the Sicilian tradition, studying their bags for an ideal female who knows how to be delicate but at the same time very self-confident, romantic and carefree but also refined and chic, but strong character.
Each individual “coffee”, carefully sewn and decorated by hand, manifests a personality so precise that the brand many small pieces combine, reinventing and wear with a strong dose of creativity and irony, the spirit of the collection want to live among girls and in women who love the simplicity and elegance.

Even if you cannot be in Sicily...Sicily can be up to you!

VIVETTA 'RETRĂ’' CUNNING WOMAN
Vivetta's style is characterized by a fresh and original touch,
creativity serving a polite and disengaging 'mademoiselle',
sensual with her ingenuity. Winking.
Designer Vivi Ponti presents a Spring/Summer 2010 collection
made of simple shapes and funny details,
both blended with a joking and slightly surreal approach.
Pastel colors, flower prints, a bit of black.
The 'abat-jour' dress with 'roses fabric',
inspired by the famous lamp takes us deep in a retro atmosphere.
'Pierrot' dress, black with white collar,
is the ambassador of a romantic and fairy tale style.
And then bows, rouches, laces inspired by the bon-ton.
