Designer : Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss
Manhattan native Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss has been designing her signature line, Shoshanna, since 1998. Her feminine, fanciful dresses (plus bathing suits) are designed to flatter a woman’s figure. Her collection is totally wearable, yet fun and sexy, and worn by many of today’s “It Girls”: Katherine Heigl, Sophia Bush, Taylor Swift and Scarlett Johansson.

Designer : Tia Cibani
Ports 1961 is the label dreamed up by North African-born, Vancouver-bred designer Tia Cibani, who built a luxury brand with the modern woman in mind. The fine tailored line is full of classically structured pieces and hand-crafted details, all with a romantic and sometimes ethnic twist. Fans include Debra Messing, Nicky Hilton, and Sienna Miller.
