I’m a self confessed swimwear obsessive, and this summer, living between London and Ibiza, my obsession has only grown… I spend half my time in a bikini, so I’ve learnt what I like – a great quality firm fabric, flattering styles in chic colours or prints, and that little something that just makes them a little bit special.
I fell in love with Evarae when I was introduced to the brand by a friend last summer, so when the founder, Georgia, got in touch this summer to ask if I’d like to shoot the campaign for their exclusive capsule collection of swim and resort wear with Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay I was utterly thrilled… particularly as I’d just got back from a trip to the hotel! Don’t you just love it when it all falls into place…
Evarae’s pieces are made in Italy from beautiful French and Italian fabrics, and a great emphasis has been given to how each style fits the body. I can personally vouch for how great I felt in each piece – swimsuits nip you in at the waist, bikinis seem to have a magic lifting effect, and the wrap dress just flows effortlessly. The styles were inspired by the hotel’s clean lines and the print was quite clearly influenced by the flora and fauna of Ibiza, an island that Georgia has strong ties to.
Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay was, of course, the perfect place to shoot the campaign – an effortlessly glamorous setting with far reaching views over Talamanca Bay. I love t0 unwind on a cabana bed at the hotel, before a long lunch at their beachfront chiringuito, Chambao. Promise me you’ll try the gambas pil pil and the ceviche – both are utterly divine! If you’re in need of a little more relaxation, the Ibiza Bay Spa by Six Senses is on hand and the Thai massage at the Spa’s waterfront cabana sounds heavenly. Sunsets call for a drink at the bar – slip a pair of Evarae Palazzo Pants over that swimsuit from the hotel’s boutique, and try the Peyote Margarita before seeing where the night takes you…
Evarae is available online here, and the exclusive capsule collection with Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay is available online here, and at the hotel boutique, Almacen de Ibiza Bay.
