"It was all about colour and geometry," De Lisi said. "I wanted it to be graphic. I wanted it to be in your face. It was all about a Park Avenue princess, not Paris Hilton. Someone who travels the Mediterranean, the Hamptons, Mykonos, Ibiza." Here, a model poses on the Ben De Lisi runway on Sept.15, 2007 in London.
