Ports 1960 creator Tia Cibani aimed to design a women’s ready-to-wear line full of classic, structured pieces with a romantic and ethnic twist when she first started in 2004. Her latest Ports 1961 Spring 2010 collection holds the same truths, as we see gorgeous structured pieces with clean lines, incredible fabrics and silhouettes to kill for.
The shoot, which takes place in and around some sort of Japanese hut, is the perfect setting for these jaw-dropping designs. Not only do the clothes speak for themselves, but the model's interesting one-side-shaven hairdo makes every shot pop.
