Fabulous vanity

MANILA, Philippines - Fabiola Marin, an Italian lingerie and swimwear designer, came to town to launch Vanita, the newest lingerie and swimwear line created specifically for Filipino women. “Vanita” comes very close to the word vanity, but it actually refers to the Hindu word that means “the essence of a woman.”

“Filipinas are very strong women, achievers at home, in school, in the arts, within the walls of corporations and even in public service. Knowing, let alone wearing, an intimo line especially designed for her blends perfectly well with her empowered image. I hope every Filipina will have at least one in her closet because, really, Vanita is the only line that brings together Italian mastery, European systems and Japanese efficiency in a collaboration to flatter her,” Marin says.

Vanita is available through www.houseofvanita.com
