YVONNE BOSNJAK talks
about her beloved Mykonos
retreat that, in a heavenly match
of business in paradise, will also
be exhibiting her personal line of
clothing as of this season.

discovered your passion?

accompanied me from a very

that define your brand?

vested in the details. I strive
to create pieces that one will
still love to wear in the years to
come. Clean, straight lines, airy
comfortable pieces made from
exclusive fabrics, flattering cuts
