As per Eary,

“In my story, it wasn’t Johnny Depp, it was my muse (the strong woman) on a crazy hallucinatory journey through the desert… it all became very ‘Tribal Dipped in Gold.”

With siwmwear being her prime collection, the designer offers deep-plunging one-piece swimsuits, bikinis in tropical shades paired with leopard-printed platform sandals with gold and silver detailing. Even the designer offers fringed leather over the shoulder bag for those who are looking for something more discreet.

After the huge success of Rihanna collections in 2013, the British high-street fashion label River Island has collaborated with the fashion designer from the same country, Katie Eary.

On her much anticipated launch, Katie had this to say,

“It’s 18 pieces and they’ll be out on the 17th of this month. It’s an amazing desert land collection, very lucid dreaming… Think Leovone in Las Vegas. I feel like all the guys have all the fun. The idea was what if it wasn’t them, what if it was two women, what would they be wearing? It would be super glamorous but in amazing bohemian floor length maxis and complete tiger print or snake print; they’re totally rock & roll amazing women. The whole collection was designed towards strong women getting off their face in the desert.”
