Sneak Peek! H&M Summer '08 Swim Collection

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:00:22 -0700

H&M's swim collection has been released, which means we can now look forward to super sunny days!

The new head of design Ann-Sofie Johansson made sure to incorporate colors and the ethnic trend. “We wanted to create something very colorful and light, with stand-out print. We were inspired by hot holidays in Africa, India, Hawaii and South America; hence ethnic-style prints such as tropical flowers and leaves, ikat designs, dip-dyes and ombre effects.”

H&M fans can expect bohemian maxi dresses, kimono-sleeved beach cover ups, and lots of earthy bikinis. Accessories include fringed scarves, African-inspired bold jewelery, and raffia-soled flip-flops and peep-toe espadrille wedges.

All You Need Is A One-Piece!

One-piece swimsuits are definitely having a comeback! This week's Life and Style takes inspiration from the sexy Eres swimsuit Penelope Cruz wore while vacationing on the beach. Their picks are all great, but I especially love the hourglass-shaped plum suit from Victoria's Secret - that one-piece shape always makes you look like you have the tiniest waist!

Juicy Couture Swim Skirt: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sun, 17 Jun 2007 08:30:33 -0700

I have an issue with adults dressing like little children, and this Juicy Couture Swim Skirt, $60, found by Candace04 in the Love It or Hate It? group, falls into that category. I think the fact that it's baby pink doesn't help the situation. It would be more appropriate for a toddler. What do you think about it?

2010 Miami Swim: Mara Hoffman

FabSugar — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 13:00:22 -0700

If there's one designer whose prints put me in a tizzy, it's Mara Hoffman. And when Mara ventured into swimwear last year it made complete sense - her exotic aesthetic perfectly translates to the beach. Her show at Miami swim, where Whitney Port attended in an adorable op-art print dress, was beyond sizzling. Cuts were experimental and prints were psychedelic. Fun details like neon fringe, chain belts, turbans, cut outs, and braids kept things interesting. Not to be overlooked are flowy, sexy caftans and cover-ups, in funky tribal prints. Colors spanned the spectrum. How you feeling? Hot, hot, hot.

FabSugar — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 12:00:22 -0700

This week kicked off the most sizzling fashion week yet - the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim Miami, Spring 2010. Prominent swimwear lines like Tibi returned, while newcomers like Caffe Swimwear and Marysia splashed around for the first time. Celebs Olivia Palermo, Kelly Killoren Bensimon, and Perry Reeves were there to partake in the sexy fun. Expect Spring '10 swimwear and resort to be characterized by leather, one-shoulders, loud prints, swim caps, and exotic cover-ups. Sounds and looks muy caliente to me!

2008 Swim: Jessica Simpson

FabSugar — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 19:00:04 -0700

Hot, hot, hot - that's all I can say about Jessica Simpson's 2008 Swim collection. And would you expect anything less from the hottie herself?

A bit of print overload - there's something for everyone. From flirty polka dots to nautical stripes to a humble paisley and refreshing geometric print, these suits had personality. As for the cuts, it was a circus of skimpy strings, sexy bandeaus, sporty ruched numbers and some super sexy cut-out one pieces (my personal faves). The fun accessories: cowboy hats, head scarves, tousled curls, and biggie sunnies all added sass; oh, and the signature cowboy boots too. I definitely saw some of all-American Jessica in this collection - maybe she's found her true calling!

Sizzlin' Miami Swim, Part I

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 10:00:22 -0700

It's prime bikini time. Miami knows this as it is housing the Miami 2008 Swim shows right now. I always like to scope out the newest bathing suit styles and discover new swim designers - and I just ignore the perfectly toned bodies of the swimsuit models. It's really about the design of the clothes, I swear. Here's a batch of sizzlin' suits where prints, bold cuts and cover ups steal the show. I gotta get me one of these flowing tie dye skirts from the Cia Maritima runway - perfect for partying it up in Punta del Este.

Sizzlin' Miami Swim, Part II

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:00:22 -0700

The hotness continues in Miami, and I don't just mean the weather. To every bikini lover's delight, the swim shows prevail. In this batch are two particularly awesome designers: Vix and Custo Barcelona. Vix is perfect for the modern gal who loves a sexy cut and graphic prints. Custo is now on my radar for Missoni-like caftans and patchwork bikinis. And Red Carter reminds us of the fabulousness a sun hat brings.
