Designed by Despina Filios and made in Rio de Janeiro, Despi is the new favorite of the beautiful beach girls of Ipanema after recently being named "the new face of beach fashion" by the Brazilian Press and being invited to show at the prestigious Rio Fashion Week this coming July.

Playfully sexy yet sophisticated is the essence of the Despi Summer '08 Collection. The sweet shades of lipstick, strawberry, chocolate and pool are elegantly mixed with the designer's embellished creations and polished accessories. The result is a mix of vintage inspiration and modern femininity. The black and white solids are embellished with leather straps and 18k gold plated hardware. The Oncinha and Zebras prints are adorned with sequence, beads and imported crystals. The fabrics are soft to the touch, the textures are luxurious yet the look is refined, and with fit firmly in mind, options include both a traditional Brazilian cut or a more moderate.
