Ciao Lucia
Ciao Lucia was founded in 2017 by Los Angeles-based designer Lucy Akin, born from an unexpected moment of inspiration while watching Gwyneth Paltrow in "Great Expectations." What started as six unlabeled sample pieces in Akin's boutique Shop Super Street quickly evolved into a coveted brand after selling out immediately and catching the attention of Vogue editors.
The brand embodies "the girl on eternal vacation" aesthetic, drawing inspiration from the French Riviera and Amalfi Coast with vintage-inspired silhouettes reminiscent of 1960s cinema. Known for dreamy, billowy dresses and effortless pieces that photograph beautifully against European backdrops, Ciao Lucia specializes in travel-friendly fabrics that pack easily and require minimal fuss. The brand's best-selling pieces, including the iconic Gabriela and Gianluca dresses, feature adjustable fits and timeless appeal that has attracted celebrity fans like Hailey Bieber, Olivia Rodrigo, and Gigi Hadid, cementing its status as the unofficial uniform of aspirational summer dressing.
