The Italian womenswear brand brings haute swimwear and high fashion to the port of Ibiza

With its louche 1970s appeal, <a href="https://bit.ly/oseree">Os&eacute;ree&rsquo;s</a> ritzy resort wear wouldn&rsquo;t have looked out of place in <a href="https://www.1stdibs.com/art/photography/landscape-photography/slim-aarons-hotel-hacienda-slim-aarons-20th-century-photography-ibiza-travel-spain/id-a_6853482/">Slim Aarons&rsquo; images of Ibiza&rsquo;s Hacienda Na Xamena</a><a href="https://www.1stdibs.com/art/photography/landscape-photography/slim-aarons-hotel-hacienda-slim-aarons-20th-century-photography-ibiza-travel-spain/id-a_6853482/">.</a> A flashback to the heady decadence of that era, the label&rsquo;s flamboyant High Summer 2022 collection also draws inspiration from &lsquo;90s pop, by way of a flourish of gemstones, sequins and feathers. Bright colours, feminine shapes and rich detailing collide in a series of statement swimwear and outerwear designs.

Recalling some of Ibiza&rsquo;s most glamorous years, it&rsquo;s an eye-catching style that resonates with the vibrant creativity still embedded in the island today. So, it&rsquo;s fitting that the brand has just launched a new flagship store here, complementing a sister boutique in Tulum. Located in Ibiza Town&rsquo;s iconic port, just yards from the glossy mega yachts that line its waters, the elegant neutral interior is a neat offset for the kaleidoscopic pops of colour that dangle from the rails. Bikinis, kaftans and dresses clamour for attention, each more sensational than the last.&nbsp;

Taking its name from the French verb oser &ndash; to dare &ndash; Os&eacute;ree&rsquo;s bold, sensual edge comes as no surprise. Created by designers Isabella Cavallin and Jannine Vinci, its pieces are an ode to female empowerment, with versatile silhouettes that are expertly sculpted to fit and flatter the feminine form. Since launching in 2015, the duo&rsquo;s cool, confident aesthetic has propelled Os&eacute;ree to international prominence, seeing the label positioned in premium boutiques across the globe and attracting devotees including Rihanna, Rita Ora, Dua Lipa and Lottie Moss along the way.

While its name originates from the French, the label&rsquo;s designs are securely rooted in Cavallin and Vinci&rsquo;s Italian heritage. Its pieces are made in Italy, drawing on the craftsmanship the country is renowned for. Playful and vivacious Os&eacute;ree may be, yet there&rsquo;s a sophistication underpinning its sassiness that elevates the label into a fashion player to be reckoned with. Razor-sharp cuts, second- skin tailoring and luxurious fabrics are fashioned with artisanal skill and precision. The resulting pieces are timeless yet contemporary &ndash; designed, as per Isabella and Jannine&rsquo;s modus operandi, for modern women to feel confident in their own skin.

The High Summer 2022 collection stays true to these label signatures, while riffing on its retro influences. High-cut one-piece swimsuits, microkinis and bikinis in metallic-accented fabrics and the label&rsquo;s new high-shine laminated mesh pay homage to the disco era. These same rainbow-hued materials also play out across the collection&rsquo;s outerwear &ndash; covering everything from fuseaux suits to bi-colour wide-leg trousers and crop T-shirts &ndash; for a complete head-to-toe look. High-waisted culottes and relaxed pyjama suits continue the theme, alongside statement dresses that range from long backless styles to a figure-hugging midi-tube and a close-cut kaftan, replete with cinched waist and flared sleeves.

Contemporary fabrics bring these luxe retro influences neatly into the modern era. Os&eacute;ree is known for its commitment to sustainability, and the HS22 collection&rsquo;s Sustainable swimwear line features innovative, eco-friendly materials crafted in streamlined linear shapes. Set in a warm colour palette ranging from yellow to cream and chocolate tones, it&rsquo;s sharply designed for mix and match.

This elegant versatility lies at the heart of Os&eacute;ree&rsquo;s appeal. Made for the stylish globetrotting crowd who skip from the shores of Ibiza to Paris, Mexico and LA, these are pieces that work equally well as party attire as they do poolside. Gleaming threads, plunging necklines and embellishments &ndash; including an &lsquo;O&rsquo; that evokes the brand name, plumage trims, and a vintage-inspired jewel belt &ndash; make for looks that transition seamlessly from sunset through to sunrise. It&rsquo;s a clever combination of heritage style and hip modern allure that captures the zeitgeist perfectly. Chic, sleek and firmly on fashion insiders&rsquo; radar: this summer Os&eacute;ree is one to watch.
