The highlight of this week’s new arrivals from Desigual is the Miranda Makoroff collection for Spring-Summer 2020. We don’t have a huge selection of new pieces, but we have two jackets, capri pants, palazzo pants and an erotic pink T-shirt designed by the creative and zany Ms. Makaroff.

If you’ve never heard of her, she’s a Barcelona artist, model and clothing designer. Last December, she unveiled her new SS2020 collection inside an inflatable vagina that she designed and Desigual built for the Miami Art Basel.

Her prints are taken from her paintings, which are saturated with dazzling colours celebrating women and the pleasures they experience in freedom and in communion with nature.

She calls it “Celebrating Eve.” Miranda designed this collection on the island of Ibiza, Spain, where Desigual first began in 1984; the company now is based in Barcelona, with its headquarters located on Barceloneta Beach, next to the W Hotel.

First we’ll show you the new Miranda Makaroff pieces we have in stock, then a few of her designs that we ordered but by the time our order was ready to go, we lost a number of styles and sizes.

Also below are a number of the Desigual styles that we’ve restocked for men & women, and we have a few new styles, including a dress designed by Christian Lacroix.

All Desigual is on sale 30% to 50% off at Angel, Vancouver’s only boutique with a huge selection of the Barcelona brand.

I picked the song by Argentina duo Miranda! above because of its name, upbeat message and I love pink and green together, like this mint green VW van in front of little pink houses.
