Entitled “The First Lady Collection”, the designs embody the elegance and sophistication of First Ladies around the world, past and present, who have inspired fashion trends and admiration for their accomplishments as well as their style sense. The collection will be accessorized by exquisite pearl jewelry and embellishments by Lucoral & Lupearl, an industry leader for over half a century. The Lucoral & Lupearl Group, headed by Mr. Johnny Lu, owns and operates the largest pearl farm in the South China Sea and employs 6,000 skilled craftsmen.

Most recently, Mr. Lu presented pearl jewelry samples to First Lady Michelle Obama for the inauguration of President Barak Obama’s second term in office.
“I am delighted to be partnering with Johnny Lu and Lucoral & Lupearl on this season’s collection,” says designer Andres Aquino. "Pearls have a delicate beauty, yet they are strong. Their classic and natural beauty is timeless, much like the women for whom I design.” Mr. Aquino added: "I believe the partnership with Lucoral will be mutually beneficial. Johnny Lu’s dedication and passion for jewelry, and specifically pearls, is amazing... together we are a storm of energy."
