5 MINS WITH AMORE & SORVETE


www.amoreandsorvete.com

When did Amore & Sorvete first launch?
Amore & Sorvete was launched on the February 1st, 2009.



Who is the designer behind A & S?
I started Amore & Sorvete when I was 21 years old after working full-time in a completely different industry. I realised quickly that my love and passion for swimwear, designing and beach culture meant  designing swimwear was what I was born to do! I quit my job and moved to Bali to work full time on developing my brand. Within three years I opened two stores, showcased at Miami Swim Show and secured a number of big online stockists including ASOS, Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Shopbop, to name a few. I love what I do and wouldn't change my job for the world!

What was your concept behind A & S?
The concept behind Amore & Sorvete  was to create a swimwear brand for young to middle- aged women that made them feel sexy, confident and comfortable.  It's also important to me that Amore has a point-of-difference to other swimwear brands on the beach and is simply an amazing, quality product that makes women want to come back for more.


Who are your designer icons?
I love buying and supporting Australian designers such as Camilla, Zimmermann, Alice McCall, Nicholas, Camilla & Marc and my best friend's label Poppy Lissiman. I love any brand producing  high-quality fare which is pretty, feminine and fun. 


Favourite holiday destination?
My favourite holiday overseas destination is definitely New York. I think it has such the most incredible vibe; it's like nowhere else I have ever been before.
If it was for a relaxing holiday, though, I would have to say somewhere local, along the coast! I think Western Australia (my home state) has the best beaches in the world. No matter where I have travelled, I've never seen a beach better than my local beach, but I would love to explore the French Polynesia as their beaches look possibly just as good!


What do you want from Santa this year?
I would LOVE another Camilla jumpsuit. I do already have two from her latest collection but I just know I'll live in them all summer round! I also love summer essentials such as pawpaw, coconut body butter, sunscreen, beach towels,  and summer PJ's.

BEAUTY QUEEN

For years I've always been told how lucky I was to have such good skin. And for years I always blew the compliments off with a casual thank you. As I get older, I now cherish those compliments knowing how lucky I actually am.  Catching up with family, specifically the older generations I realise that it's all in the genes. My 85 year old grandfather doesn't look a day over 70, his younger sister who turned 70 this year looks barely 55 and my mum, who probably won't want me revealing her age haha is looking the best she has in years (in fact most people think she's lying when she reveals she has a 34 year old daughter!). I am blessed with the obviously magic youth genes from my mothers side but also the genes from my fathers side which carries the Native American heritage - which I believe are forever youthful. Most people think i'm in my mid-late 20's and i'm happy with that ;-) Everyone is different, so I thought I would share my daily ski...

HAVE YOU HEARD?

After a crazy weekend of celebrating our friends Hen's and Bucks (needless to say the chores and shopping didn't get done) - the boy came home from a long day's work and being the good girlfriend I am (hehe) I suggested take out for dinner. But rather than doing the standard McDonalds or Hungry Jacks, we decided to order delivery from Menulog  a fabulous new take-away food and delivery website that has a huge range of local restaurants available to order from the click of a button. Step 1.  Type in your postcode (see image below) Step 2.  A list of restaurants available to order from depending on your location - both takeaway and delivery appear for you to choose from (see image below) Labrador Delivery Step 3. You choose your restaurant and order the scrumptious food! There was a decent selection to choose from, however we went with ALs Convenience Aussie & Indian Takeaway which has a mixture of cuisine which was perfect fo...
