Adriana Degreas Teams With Sabine Getty

Two years ago, Brazilian designer Adriana Degreas partnered with Charlotte Olympia to create a collaborative, pin-up inspired swimwear collection that featured Lebanese jewelry designer and socialite Sabine Getty as their campaign face.

Degreas told WWD that following the campaign shoot, she found out that “Sabine had a desire to one day design a collection, so we decided to work on something special together.”

That something special is a 27-piece Adriana Degreas x Sabine Getty collection of bold and luxe swim and resortwear, available on Moda Operandi starting Thursday.

“We first started discussing the collection in 2019, but with COVID-19 it got a bit on the side and we ended up changing the concept a couple of times, until we got the final version where we went for a bolder, glamorous concept, that was evolving throughout the years with Sabine’s desires,” Degreas said of the collaborative line, which was inspired by “strong women and old glamour.”

The Adriana Degreas x Sabine Getty collection, priced $320 to $1,180 (with average prices at $605), features 11 printed styles in bold animal prints, said to be inspired by the iconic ‘60s images of Veruschka von Lehndorff donning leopard prints. However, here the duo designed a tiger print in lieu of the spotted animalia motif, as seen on sleek one-piece swimsuits and a matching fluid set.

“Glamorous yet very bold” Degreas said of the assortment, which also includes 16 sleek black and white fashions and reflects each of their signature looks, including Degreas’ vintage-inspired silhouettes with unexpected twists and Getty’s minimal yet elegant signature look.

“We always look to transcend the usual wear of the beachwear so we incorporated the choker in a sophisticated way into some bathing suits (and dresses) to give a stronger feel to it and also to wear from beach to bar,” Degreas said of the influence of Getty’s jewelry within the lineup. “We also work with a special jersey and pure silk to give movement and personality to the collection.”
