With our end-of-season Designer Swimwear Sale on right now, it’s been hard to take our minds away from all the incredible designer swimsuits we have for such a great price. And while I’d love to feature one of the beautiful new swimsuits from the 2009 range of Sauvage and Beach Bunny that’s recently arrived here at Azura, I still just can’t go past our 2008 swimwear collection…
It’s been all about Sauvage Swimwear these last couple of weeks here at Bikini of the Week, and this week is no different with the stunning Jade Mountain bikini, our pick of the week.
I love the simplicity of this swimsuit; it’s simply striking. First off, there’s the color - a mix of turquoise and emerald green, the swimsuit looks like a jewel itself. You can tell why this swimsuit doesn’t have any intricate or extravagant detailing - it doesn’t need it. The color alone is enough to grab and hold your attention.
But, speaking of detailing, the large rings made of distressed gold are the perfect match for both the cut and color of this bikini. The gold sets off the green to a tee, again like a gold ring encasing an emerald jewel, while the ring shape gives the swimsuit a bit more interest, showing off just a hint of flesh at the center bust and at the bikini bottom sides.
Ring detailing works amazingly with bandeau cut bikinis. This year’s hottest swimwear designers definitely thought so with the style featuring heavily throughout the different designer swimwear collections. Sauvage Swimwear’s rendition with the Jade Mountain was perhaps one of the best versions, the rings not too large as well as being shaped at the bikini bottom sides to fit the curve of the body which is particularly important when it comes to comfort.
The bandeau bikini top also has a point of difference, tapering in at the back so the look is slim and dainty. The sides are also lined with boning for extra support, which can be incredibly handy with bandeau style bikinis. As for the bikini bottoms, these will give you full backside coverage as well as full coverage at the front.
Like all our 2008 swimsuits, Jade Mountain by Sauvage is currently 25% off as part of our Designer Swimwear Sale. It’s a beautiful swimsuit and also timeless too, so don’t miss out…
I love to check out fashion forums and online shopping social networks like Kaboodle – it’s a great way for me to find out about new products, see different trends emerging and also, share my thoughts with other like-minded individuals. Today, when crawling the net, I headed to StyleHive to see what great new swimwear finds were hot on the agenda, only to come across one of my favourite designer swimsuits this season, the sexy bikini Lyin’ Eyes by Beach Bunny Swimwear. Since it was time for Bikini of the Week, I thought it must have been fate that pulled me in this direction… not to mention it being one incredibly beautiful swimsuit!
Beach Bunny Swimwear designer Angela Chittenden is one of the designer swimwear industry’s most formidable talents. Here at Azura Swimwear, we continue to be blown away by her sexy new swimwear… time and time again. Undeniably, she pioneered the sexy-yet-sleek lingerie look, however her more ‘traditional’ styled swimwear is equally progressive. Take the Lyin’ Eyes for example – in many ways, it’s a standard halter top bikini. However with Beach Bunny’s use of detailing, sexy bikini cut, as well as use of fabric design, Angela Chittenden has taken this swimsuit to soaring new heights.
It surprises me that we have not yet featured this bikini in Bikini of the Week. I don’t know how it was overlooked – I think we all thought it had already been featured! But as I was reading Continental Girl’s post on purchasing designer swimwear, filled with tips about this season’s hot styles, and in particular, animal prints, I thought of Red Carter’s Kenya. I then quickly skipped over to Lifestyle Azura to double check if we had featured it or not, and to my great surprise, it was nowhere to be found!
So better late than never, this week’s Bikini of the Week is Kenya by Red Carter.
Red Carter is the champion of fine details – whether it be in the quality of his suits, the style of his cuts or the added detailing he uses. Usually, it’s all of the above, and his Kenya bikini is no different.
It’s hard to go past an animal print, and no matter how many decades come and go, animal prints will always have their place in fashion. Red Carter actually has two animal prints out this season – the Kenya and the Zimbabwe, both as beautiful as each other, so really this week should be a ‘Bikinis of the Week’ rather than just ‘Bikini’! But as I personally love the black and white appeal of the zebra, I pulled out my card and voted for the Kenya…
It’s day two here at MAGIC and what a an incredible two days we have had! For those of you who missed our first post, Azura Swimwear is in hot Las Vegas attending MAGIC, an annual fashion and designer swimwear tradeshow, held at the Las Vegas Convention Center and Las Vegas Hilton from August 25 to August 27, 2008.
There are over 250 women’s swimwear designers on show at MAGIC alone, not to mention some other designer swimwear labels showcasing at nearby tradeshow CURVE NV and PROJECT, so as you can imagine, we have had a very busy couple of days!
I know a lot of you may be interested to find out which amazing swimwear designers were present, so here’s a list of some of just some of the swimwear designers we saw…
This week at Bikini of the Week, we take a journey into the ultra feminine. We see a lot of swimsuits here at Azura Swimwear, whether at swimwear industry tradeshows or through designer swimwear reps, and this is undoubtedly one of the most beautifully feminine swimsuits I have seen in a long time. The bikini is Secret Garden and the designer is none other than Beach Bunny Swimwear.
Theres no question to it, all of Beach Bunny Swimwear is, by very definition, feminine, but none so like the Secret Garden bikini. With its sweet color scheme and flower detailing, the Secret Garden bikini epitomizes girly appeal. But in Beach Bunny Swimwear style, it still remains sophisticated and very much for a woman at heart.
I absolutely adore the color palette of this swimsuit, a gorgeous mix of white with luscious pinks and enchanting pastel greens. The two colors are so complimentary yet distinctive in their own right. But perhaps what makes the color choices work so well is the design, or detailing, they are paired with. To my mind, this stunning designer swimsuit has an almost Hawaiian feel to it - others might site another country and they too would be right, but for me, the big open flower design reminds me of the island state, as does the way they dance freely over the swimsuit.
Another adorable touch I just love is the use of ribbons for both the bikini top and bottoms. It adds another element of girly appeal and seems a fitting match to the French embroidery overlay. Beach Bunny Swimwear designer Angela Chittenden loves her use of swimsuit detailing and, might we say, she does an excellent job of it, particularly in sourcing some of the finest materials from the world.
The Secret Garden bikini comes with a fixed triangle top with a very feminine shape at the bust. It is also lined, on both the bikini top and bottom, so there’s no need to worry about it going see through. And while you can’t see it from the picture, the bikini bottoms have a couple of interesting deign features, in addition to the matching pink ribbon side ties. At the back, you’ll find a delightful single flower detailing, positioned right in the center - it’s so cute and very alluring. The bottoms also have a lightly ruched inner seam, running down the middle, which give a very flattering look to the bum. The look is 100% cute and adorable.
I think adorable has been my favorite word for the day! But there really is no other way to describe this adorable designer swimsuit by Beach Bunny. Secret Garden is a really unique bikini – there’s nothing quite like it on the market at the moment.
So if you’re looking for soemthing that’s feminine, elegant and sweetly gorgeous, then the Secret Garden bikini by Beach Bunny is the swimsuit for you…
