Ladylike silhouettes is what Luca Luca is based on. Every woman wants to feel feminine and sexy and Luca Luca provides the necessary garments to achieve that goal.

Designer Luca Orlandi was born in Milan and worked in his family textile business. Following an apprentice at the Hero Group, a manufacturing company creating bridge lines for designers such as Oscar de la Renta and Bill Blass, Orlandi started Luca Luca in 1991.

He opened his first boutique on Madison Avenue in New York and shortly after in my fabulous city Chicago on the exclusive Oak street. I remembered walking into the store in the late nineties not paying any attention to the snobby employees just to view his wonderful collections.

The designer wed his long time companion Nigerian supermodel Oluchi Onweagba in 2005 and they have an adorable three year old son named Ugochukwu. Orlandi recently stepped down and now creative director Raul Melgoza is certainly keeping the Luca Luca sexy tradition alive!
