Bonjour,
I am thrilled to be introducing our Antibes collection as we celebrate the beginning of Spring. Marking a time of renewal, our latest collection offers you the most perfect pieces to start creating your ideal style for the new season. My personal favourite is our incredibly gorgeous abstract hibiscus print that you’ll see across several styles.
In the spirit of Antibes— where we were lucky enough to visit whilst capturing this campaign—the Blue Illusion team shares with you their favourite markets across the globe.
I truly hope you enjoy this vibrant, feminine collection as much as we enjoyed creating it for you!
Bisous,
Antibes, Abloom
Crystal clear waters. A picturesque marina. Chic Mediterranean style. Welcome to Antibes, the stunning coastal town on the Côte d’Azure that inspires our latest collection. Lada wears our Cotton Puff Sleeve Top and Cotton A-line skirt, creating sensational springtime style. Oh, la la!

NICOLE - South Melbourne Market has been my little weekend treasure. It is the quintessential village market, a place where people come not only to purchase fresh food, but to meet at great nearby cafes and shop. My go to is La Central Spanish Deli & Bodega for preparing for a night of tapas and wine with friends over.
MELBOURNE
MEG - I love Spitalfields for its bustling energy and variety. A great place to find authentic vintage and antique pieces, clothing, art, and amazing street food. A fantastic day out in the heart of East London.
LONDON
SHADI - If one is to see just a single place in Iran’s capital, then the Tehran Grand Bazaar is the place.
TEHRAN
INDIANA - Every Friday morning I would look forward to The Beaches Market on the Northern Beaches. Paddy the Bakers, Mama Kombucha and La Boite a Fromages are my go-to stalls. On the way home, I squeeze in a quick dip at Narrabeen and it’s the perfect start to a day!
Sydney
RAPH - One of my favourite markets from childhood is La Rochelle, found in a small coastal city west of France. I remember the warm sun, colourful produce, fish and warm smell of fresh pastries… While walking through the noisy lanes I would start to imagine what I could make for lunch.
