And we celebrate all that so many people have done throughout the year and will do next year to create a better world.” Jane Goodall, PhD, UN Messenger of Peace, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute.

Eva Varro, a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Budapest, Hungary is now taking her talents and her brilliant collection to the streets locally opening her first boutiques in The Promenade on The Peninsula/Rolling Hills, California and Santa Monica Place.
Truly a breath of fresh air in the fashion world, Eva Varro has bridged the gap between fashion and function by creating a collection that is contemporary, fresh, breathable, washable, virtually wrinkleless and flatters every woman’s shape.
In the true spirit of European Haute Couture, the Eva Varro collection boasts slinky, sensual, figure-flattering fabrics that work with everything from denim to diamonds, sandals to stilettos. In addition to these basic pieces (which are anything BUT basic), Eva’s collection also is comprised of luscious prints from Vintage-Retro inspired to Classic- Modernism. Truly an art-to-wear statement for any woman who desires to glow with the Eva Varro aura of self-confidence and individuality.
Hands-on design, a commitment to excellence, an impeccable eye for trends before they debut on the runway, pattern consistency and years of technical experience have awarded EVA VARRO a signature look like no other that have women craving more. “What each customer gets is originality, assurance that she will not blend in with the sea of trendy, but make a statement that will make all fashionistas take notice.”
Made in the USA, unparalleled quality, excellent price points and sought after by such celebrity clientele as Vivica Fox, Kelly Rippa, Lisa Ann Walter, Sophia Milos, Judy Tenuta, Mary Hart and Angela Basset (just to drop a few names!), Eva Varro has become a household name as well as the RX for every woman’s fashion needs.
Eva Varro also introduced her newest collection, ACCOLADE, to the New York and Los Angeles runways this SPRING, 2010. Limited in edition as well as series, this contemporary silk novelty collection of stunning printed tunics, dresses and silk tops is sheer FABULOSITY!
