I am in love with the Tibi Dresses

Tibi designer and founder Amy Smilovic ascribes to a strict motto of "casual chic" and this theme continually filters through in her work. Smilovic established Tibi in 1997 and continues to use her childhood interest in art and illustrations to inject a unique sense of vibrancy into her eye-catching Tibi dress designs.

Her unique prints have garnered a strong fan base, making Tibi one of the world's largest contemporary brands! Her brilliant use of colour appears on a whole range of her fabulous designs, from footwear and clothing to swimwear. Here at Stanwells, we love the Tibi dresses, silk tunic tops and crayola-bright gowns. Tibi offer something to liven up any wardrobe, and any occasion!

Tibi began her career in the fashion industry shortly after moving to Hong Kong in 1997. Following a successful marketing position at American Express in New York City, Amy relocated to Asia with her husband and began designing a small collection of contemporary Tibi dresses. The company has rapidly expanded into its current offering of ten collections per year, as well as a complete shoe line, swimwear, and home accessories!

Tibi hand designs a range of prints and styles to match her personal taste and distinctive approach to dressing, which she showcases her Tibi dresses in the tents of Bryant Park each season during NYC’s Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.
