Badgley Mischka Fashion Show in NYC
You can see it on the runway images from Paris, Milan, and NYC. Black is certainly back. And black swimsuits are no exception… they are being incorporated into the designs of the most coveted brands, such as Badgley Mischka swimwear and Betsey Johnson. Even color-loving designers that usually stay away from black have their own version of the black swimsuit. We are certainly a fan of the tone. Nothing like a little black bikini such as the Luminous Bandeau by Despi Swimwear (below). We love that it is spruced up by another leading trend this season: bejeweled accessories.
The round gemstones at mid bust add a little sophistication to this style. The shirred bottom is also essential to the fit, by aiding in the avoidance of the “muffin top” look. For those of us who need a little bit of oomph at the top, the removable straps can be adjusted to hold your girls on command.
Despi Swimwear is no stranger to celebrity bods. It has been featured in Sports Illustrated for two consecutive years, and it was even seen on one of the gals from the Real Housewives of Orange County, Gretchen Rossi. Gotta love it!
