Rosa Cha... Inspired by Lingerie!

a Rosa Cha knit belted bodysuit - how adorable!

Naturally when we hear the brand name Rosa Cha, we think of elegant Brazilian swimwear. Now we can add beautiful intimates to the list with the recent addition of lingerie to the label (along with some beautiful lingerie-inspired RTW). The moment we saw the images from the Summer 2010 collection, we knew we had to share. The 'High Summer' collection (does that mean Winter?) includes some darling bodysuits, and we particularly love the black knit piece with the belt & sweater. We can't help but wonder, however, if our love of model Chanel Iman is influencing our opinion of the designs!
An interesting little tidbit we learned about Amir Slama, the founder & original designer behind Rosa Cha, is that he launched the brand in 1990 after leaving his career as a history professor. The brand's new designer is Alexandre Herchcovitch.

Remember her from America's Next Top Model? As Tyra would say, she is definitely 'fierce'...she looks incredible!

We've all heard the buzz about the highly anticipated July 2008 "Black Issue" of VOGUE Italy.
Naturally we wanted to see the beautiful photography by Steven Meisel, get a peek at our favorite models Liya Kebede and Chanel Iman, and of course scout out any designer lingerie for our readers!
There wasn't much lingerie overall, but enough to be able to post about it.
Unfortunately we didn't get any of the designer credits, so if you know who did what, please let us know!
