Compulsion, indeed, obsession for fashion design, is hardly something one expects from seeing Disney's Snow White, but for 3-year-old Anna Kosturova, that's exactly what happened. The title character's vibrant costume made a profound visual impact on her. Always preferring real-life proportions to dolls, Anna grew up endlessly playing dress-up in front of the mirror and subsequently getting her aunt to make the ”latest” fashion inventions.As it often happens, natural instincts were overwritten by the realities of the education system. Instead of pursuing arts, Anna earned a Master of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering, specializing in textile technology. It took a few years for her to acknowledge her flair for art and fashion and to pursue it professionally. She refers to this radical change in her life as “a personal liberation… a process of decoding my DNA to claim my own happiness.”Anna believes in the aquatic theory of man’s origin because it perfectly explains her unusual love of water and fascination with sea life. Designing swimwear and resort wear is just a “full circle” thing for her – a perfect culmination where everything that she loves comes together. Beauty is what she is addicted to and beauty is what she creates. Anna Kosturova swim and resort wear is produced from the highest quality cotton crochet. Each piece is crocheted by hand and embellished with beautiful sequins, beading and sworovski crystals. The swimwear is crocheted from 100% cotton that will not shrink or stretch and is lined with swim fabric to maintain its’ shape when wet.
