We're popping bottles here at HWHQ for close friend and client Anna Kosturova, whose stunning baby blue sequined Beach Goddess crocheted bikini bottoms made it to the cover of the single most widely read magazine in the world, the 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue! See more photos from the magazine here, photos from the party Anna threw to celebrate here, and browse the styles and buy your own here (I have mine, of course!).Shot (coincidentally) by fellow Vancouverite Raphael Mazzucco, this cover is unquestionably a career highlight for a designer and a studio that is barely five years old, and HW.org is incredibly proud to have played a role in getting her there, however minor. Bigger and better things are coming from our partnership, and we consider ourselves so lucky to be able to have a great time working together at something that is being so fantastically well-received by both the press and the public.
Next week I'll have a behind-the-scenes story about Anna's studio exclusively for Orato.com -- like only I could tell it -- you really don't want to miss that.
