Lujuria, the fashion experience, owned by JS Jose Santamaria enterprises, continues to showcase local, mainland and European designers. On August 16, 2013, at the Modern Honolulu, Addiction Club,  Lujuria showcased a Beverly Horton collection and jewelry by Panacea designs.

About Beverly Horton:

After several years of experience in the New York City luxury retail industry, Horton relocated to Oahu.  Her resort wear collection represents  Horton’s past and present: the sophistication of NYC, and the vibrant imagery and unique island culture of Hawaii.

The design style esthetic combines feminine silhouettes with sophisticated accents and bohemian cool.  The collection complements the woman looking for ease, comfort, simplicity and style.

Horton’s new collection is composed of three themes: Gentle Nature (floral motifs in a soft colorful palette); Dark Nature (smoky shades of neutral colors);  and Southwestern Fusion (sun washed colors infused with tropical and aquatic bright along with tribal prints).

The garment silhouettes are easy, and versatile and can be work as a swimsuit cover-up by day, or for a night out on the town, or even as lingerie.
