The Brazilian women of the Bahia and artist Beatriz Milhazes served as Tia Cibani's latest muses.

The designer delved into the work of Scottish artist Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh in her romantic fall collection.

Evoking the secessionist art movement — particularly Gustav Klimt and his muses — the pre-fall lineup demonstrated Cibani’s knack for exotic textures.

Tia Cibani said she looked to “1970s exoticism and North African Tuareg craft” for a collection that was a sartorial souk.

Inspired by the North African coastline and Brazilian ceremonial dress, Tia Cibani’s resort collection resulted in an eclectic aesthetic.

It was an earthy, eclectic look, this season seemingly influenced by traditional Turkish garb and all the exotic textures.

Forties film noir provided the starting point for Cibani’s collection, but the designer had a second impulse after a recent trip to Mexico.

A Twenties Man Ray photograph of Peggy Guggenheim was the starting point for the designer.

Two years after the designer left Ports 1961 (now in the hands of her sister, Fiona), she’s launching her own collection for spring.
