Rosch Circle, A New Swimwear Benchmark

rosch circle new

Rosch Circle is another incredible swimwear release from the Rosch 203 range. All of the swimwear from Rosch is currently setting a new standard for beautiful swimwear, in fact. The colour palette is one of our favourite parts, and it is beautiful all by itself. But it doesn’t stop there. Then the abstract design comes along. It is a mixture of chaotic colours and precise shapes that work really well together. All of this makes Rosch Circle, this new line up of swimwear one that’s full of juxtaposition. At times wild and at times controlled, and often it is happening all at the same time too. This is perhaps the most beautiful swimwear item from their new range of three different designs. It is called Rosch Circle, and it is superb. This is the swimsuit version pictured above, and it has much more room to work with than the bikini. And it isn’t liable to scrunch up too much or have the pattern otherwise lost like some designs might. Pareos get folded a lot, so the design can sometimes be lost. But their pareo is among the nicest of the season. Rosch has released some amazing swimwear in the past. Like the Rosch Circle Bikini version of this design. This really does set the benchmark for beautiful swimwear. More items from on the rest of the Rosch Circle range are coming soon.

Pia Rossini, Youthful And Ambitious Swimwear Design

pia rossini youthful

Pia Rossini is only a fourteen years old designer. That is a very young brand by the fashion world’s standards. They may not be able to buy themselves a drink yet, but they certainly aren’t short on talent. Pia Rossini’s first collection with UK Swimwear shows what ambition and hard work can really do. This is just one of their masterful designs, the Grenada print, coming in both maxi dress and beach bag. Like anything full of youth and ambition, the rules are thrown out of the window straight away. Instead of the simple and timeless designs other designers have released this year, Pia Rossini have something else. They have elected a more ornate approach to their swimwear. Pia Rossini Loves Animal Prints One thing they have kept though is the fine new trend of blended animal prints. Both Grenada designs use leopard, butterfly and even a little peacock feather to make something rich and beautiful. It’s a brilliant way to add layers of complexity to a design. And it brings the timelessness and majesty of nature into a collection. But why not just use the natural world more, well, naturally? Go straight to the source, like they do with their next range. They Love The Rest Of Nature Too This is Lorenzo, another one of their beautiful releases for the season. But instead of being a blend of various elements, it’s a pure and simple design. One that’s been lifted straight from the tropical beaches of the world. And it’s about as breathtaking as they come. Lorenzo is too big of a range to show you all at once. But if you’d like to browse it, click through to the Pia Rossini section. You can see their whole range and see what they have to offer. And if you do fine something from them you love, it might make it your perfect getaway this summer.

Anita Tankinis, A Perfect Dichotomy

anita tankinis perfect

Anita has one very strong theme emerging in its collection this season. Some of her designs are in two parts. Namely, the Anita tankinis are taking over the range. They’ve divided the two halves of each pattern and created some truly dazzling women’s swimwear. It’s a design dichotomy! This has been a feature with so many of Anita’s designs over the past six months or so. In fact, it’s become a defining characteristic of their work. One of their subtler options, Idella, is pictured above. It has a gorgeous array of gemstone colours right down to the hem of the Anita tankini sets. Then, the briefs transform to solid black, creating that coveted contrast design teams work so hard for. The earthy tones of the brown shapes give the tankini a more grounded feel but the purple and yellow add a wonderful liveliness to Anita’s newest release. The Tarina Tankini An even more noticeable example is the Tarina tankini. The pattern is one that’s been used three or four times this season. Something Anita comfort lingerie and swimwear styles never do. That says a lot about how wonderfully popular these contrasting colours are! Tarina and her sister patterns are all very well loved. And they’re the perfect example of how a heavily detailed and complex pattern can match other stuff. And perhaps even go superbly well with something more restrained. The very best part of any design like this is its visual effect. The black makes the colours look more vibrant and the colours make the black look more timeless. More Stuff From Anita Tankinis This is only a little bit part of what Anita Comfort and the Anita tankinis can offer you. Anita is the brand for comfortable swimwear. Especially for women who want to feel good wearing the right swimsuits and tankinis for their body shape. Anita Comfort its most popular range, as its sizes go up to UK 24 size, with several cup sizes available. Because your size shouldn’t prevent you from wearing beautiful women’s swimsuits!

Roidal’s Number One Summer Swimsuit

roidal8217s number one

Good swimwear has just one job, it’s supposed to capture the summer. A great swimwear designer always makes sure their work captures the warmth and cheerfulness of a tropical beach or a cloudless day. That’s why Roidal’s designs are so loved. The Flori Swimsuit is one of the most gorgeous and summery designs they have ever released and it is going to become one of their most popular swimsuits of all time. The sunshine and good cheer is obviously in the colouring. Sunflower yellow is an incredible shade that always lifts moods and looks beautiful, especially on a beach or in the sea. But sunflower can be a very sharp colour, sometimes a little too bright. With Roidal’s swimsuit, it’s not at all like that. Take a look a little closer at the design and you’ll see why. Up close, the soft and heavy presence of earthy brown and muted green breaks this design up and gives it a less energetic, more contemplative tone. It’s far more welcoming with this mixture of colour than it would be on its own. Together, the yellows, browns and greens represent the diversity you see around you in any tropical country. This makes Roidal’s work far more familiar and relatable. All these elements go a long way to make Flori the number one Summer swimsuit for any holiday destination you have in mind.

Maryan Mehlhorn, The Masters Of Time

maryan mehlhorn masters

Maryan Mehlhorn seem to work outside of time. They are doing things other fashion designers simply cannot. Their latest range of swimsuits defy the traditional fashion seasons. Each one of them is perfectly suited for every Autumn/Winter and for every Spring/Summer. Not just this year either, but for every year for the next ten years at least. So, what’s their secret?Let’s have a look at the new Maryan Mehlhorn designs and find out. What Is The Maryan Mehlhorn Secret? No secret, actually. They simply design their swimsuits around timeless principles. Not really a secret, not when it is such timeless advice. They draw upon styles that have never lost their appeal or charm. Take a look at the one above, for instance. Like a lot of Maryan Mehlhorn’s previous releases, the purple colour scheme has been popular. It is at the centre of their work this year. Why is it so popular? Purple has always been a regal colour. Since the Romans used it for their emperors two and a half millennia ago, in fact. It’s always been one of the colours associated with majesty and grandeur. It hasn’t lost that appeal today, so when it is used in fashion, it’s incredibly elegant. Patterns Are As Important As Colours It takes more than just a good colour scheme to make timeless swimwear though. Patterns are equally as visual and can transform a swimsuit completely. The pattern that’s been most popular with Maryan Mehlhorn this season is polka dots. Dots have been a favourite of vintage fashion lovers since they were first popular nearly a century ago. The Portofino Swimsuit above is a testament to just how gorgeous the classic pin up look can be. The sailor chic combo of navy and white has been around for as long as anyone can remember. And the polka dot arrangement has been a favourite of starlets and sex symbols since the 1930s. You can’t get more classic than that. Want To See More Of Maryan Mehlhorn? These are just two of Mayran Mehlhorn’s incredible new designs, but there are more to be seen. Each one is completely removed from the ebb and flow of time. When it comes to the fashion world, after all the fads are done with, only timeless beauty persists. And Maryan Mehlhorn is certainly timeless. Click here to see all of their superb designs.

Gottex Eva Swimsuit

gottex eva swimsuit

Every single season, without fail, Gottex has delivered at least one design that’s a complete jaw dropper. I’d show you last season’s winner, but as expected, it sold out almost immediately. There’s nothing left to show. The newest addition is the Gottex Eva Swimsuit. She’s unbelievable. I’d like to put part of their breathtaking designs down to fantastic photography and an amazing model. Yes, Gottex is the industry leader for photography, but I think it’s the design that really takes your breath away. Eva is a halter neck piece, with rather narrow shoulder straps. This is a very wise choice for tanning purposes, but I think the designers had a more visual effect in mind. The slender straps are very good for the coveted slimming effect and a great way to draw gazes to the neckline. Of course, this swimsuit has no trouble attracting gazes in the first place! The colour scheme is inspired! I think sharper shades can be a risky choice, but Gottex have always taken the biggest risks and made the biggest payoffs. Gottex have taken this bright and succulent shade of lime and have really played it to their advantage. The real asset of the Gottex Eva Swimsuit is it’s originality. It takes some extremely creative features and blends them beautifully. That is the spirit of fashion after all, and any good fashion designer makes sure that creativity and originality is a feature of its range. Well Gottex has done it here, as they always do with their seasonal releases. So check out some of their new stuff and see for yourself.
