KIARGO
Kiargo’s designer Jessica Holmes
has taken classic nautical
infl uences to a whole new level
with a glamorous 2011 collection
called “The Vacationist”. Kiargo’s
range of separates and onepieces
feature bold stripes, gold
trimmings and a palette of black,
white and red.
Known for embracing curves,
Kiargo’s silhouettes are feminine
and alluring while being
ultra-supportive, with bandeau
tops, skirted briefs, high-banded
briefs and moulded tankinis.
This season also sees the
introduction of an F- and G-cup
option; and with sizes from 8–22,
all fi gures are well and truly
catered for.
WHERE TO WEAR IT: Lounge by
the pool or, jump aboard a cruise
around the Hawaiian Islands.

WORDS SALLY WILSON
ISOLA BY MEGAN GALE
Drawing inspiration from
her label’s “island” namesake,
fashion designer Megan Gale
has created her latest collection
with exotic destinations such as
Catalina, Palm Springs and the
Bahamas in mind. With a nod
to the past, Isola’s new summer
range includes vintage prints,
high-waisted pants and corseted
styles, while sexy animal prints,
pretty frills and eye-catching
fl orals round out this gorgeous
collection. What’s more, every
piece is available separately to
ensure a perfect fi t.
Gale’s pick? She suggests
playing around with bright
colours and animal prints,
which Gale believes are a “huge
trend” this season. If you’re
having trouble deciding, Isola’s
“Mandarine” print combines both
for a stylish blend. Complete your
look with glamorous maxi dresses
and 100% silk kaftans — perfect
for that post-beach cocktail.
WHERE TO WEAR IT: Glam it up on
one of Fiji’s spectacular islands.
