We had a conversation with our Wave Print Designer, Anthony Baratta. His beautiful print comes in 4 different dress styles, read all about his inspirations and love for HIHO:
What was your design inspiration for the Baratta Wave Print? The pattern was inspired by a Classical Greek motif called Running Dog. I was drawn to the way that the pattern resembles waves.
What can you share about the color? It’s always a favorite. Blue is a huge part of my designs and everyone looks good in it.
Have you done other fashion collaborations before? Is there anything you can share about this experience with HIHO? We’ve currently collaborating with Max Mara in Italy for a collection that that will be in the stores in next spring. It’s been a fun and fantastic experience working with HIHO! We look forward to seeing more pattern on HIHO clothes.
What do you love about HIHO as a brand? I love HIHO. It’s colorful, smart, and stylish and reminds me of fantastic trips to the Caribbean.
What are your favorite beach locations? My favorite beaches are Fowler Beach in Southampton, NY, Saline Beach in St. Barth’s, and La Fontelina Beach in Capri.
Tell us more about your interior designs! Currently, I’m working on a wide variety of exciting projects in New York, Los Angeles, and Colorado. I’m also designing a new product line for Colonial Williamsburg and redesigning the Governor’s Mansion in my home town of New Jersey
