Adrienne Vittadini Quotations

There is a consistency of femininity and glamour which sort of pulls the two together. I think both the '50s and '60s are wonderful because they are very pared-down. It's minimal and very chiseled. All the little details play an important role, like scalloped edges, belts, the little hip-hugger pants and the little sweater, combined together with swim wear.

It has big, big dots reminiscent of the '50s, and the prints are really fun. They evoke again the mood and the turquoise and yellow colors of Capri.

I feel very strongly for two pieces again. Triangle bikinis, bando bikinis and, of course, the athletic-type bra tops are all important.

Cover-ups play a very important role. They're not big like they used to be before; they have a certain sensuality. Long and short, but a lot of long for drama.

The little flippy skirt is something again that was used in the '50s and it looks very new again. It looks flirtatious. It's charming in all the pique prints. It feels very right.
