Seduced by the thought of endless summers and the carefree ease of holidays by the beach, Anna & Boy have provided an exciting and refreshing take on designer swimwear for both men and women. Strongly influenced by the liberated memories of childhood such as beach house wallpapers, seventies surf films and yellowed photographs that wistfully capture that time, Anna & Boy’s Spring Summer 08/09 is an exciting range. The collection promises a fresh, contemporary and notably different aesthetic. Most of all it’s a collection which defines the duo’s inimitable sense of style and distinct essence of cool. The coming together of Anna Hewett and Lill Boyd to establish Anna & Boy was quite perfectly a product of their years within the editorial team at Vogue Australia. The pair gradually identified a lack of inspiring swimwear, which motivated their recent development of the label. Celebrated by an article in the December 2005 issue of Vogue, Anna and Lill have used their experience, knowledge and chic outlook to offer a fresh perspective on both women’s and men’s swimwear. A unified attitude towards the highest quality Italian fabrics, bold signature prints and unique detailing, coupled with a palette of brilliant and eye catching colours encapsulates what is quintessentially Anna & Boy. A gold peach trinket, Anna & Boy’s logo, adorns every short and bikini and is echoed through into their clever swing tag and zip-lock travel bag. The duo have seized every opportunity to finish their garments with a finesse and style that is unmistakably their new handwriting.
