Hunkemöller Doutzen Summer Stories Collection 2020

August 16, 2020 by Press Release

Plunge into the Pacific this summer in signature Doutzen Kroes style. Hunkemöller has teamed up with the supermodel for the last time with these stunning Doutzen Summer Stories.

This season’s Doutzen Summer Stories Collection was influenced by Malibu beaches and their surrounding wooded hills and canyons. Varied styles and colours seen in bandeau to balcony shapes let women travel back to the beauty of nature. Designed to suit all shapes and sizes, the crochet bikini and Doutzen Summer Stories Collection is a total glam look from beach to poolside bar. The campaign was shot with Doutzen in Mexico.

Sustainable ranges made from recycled plastic bottles

Nature is always top of mind, and Hunkemöller and Doutzen Kroes take their sustainability responsibilities seriously. The Cali, Malibu and Paradise ranges are all from fabric made with recycled plastic bottles. Check out the REPREVE® bottle label attached to the hangtag (or in the online description) and help keep our environment and beaches beautiful.

Doutzen Summer Stories colour and designs

Beautiful streamlined design is seen all through this collection: in simple, classic and sophisticated shapes. Delicate gold braid detailing on contrasting mattes are seen next to jacquard textures and crochet knits. Made in an earthy muted colour palette in the season’s hottest natural tones, there is a fresh colour update in a stand-out zebra print. Alongside classic black, women will really love the dark red & cedar green—great colours for all skin tones and giving that wow-factor from sandy beach to relaxed boat trip.

Perfect cover-ups for hot midday sun

An elegant white kaftan, a green maxi dress, or dark floaty tunic are the perfect cover-ups complementing the range. Women will be beach or poolside-drinks ready in an instant. Also great for the walk up from the beach in search of midday shade.

NAKI NYC takes Marilyn and Audrey to the beach!

August 25, 2011 by Brigitte

Marylin Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, two pop culture icons whose style is still reflected in fashion today. NAKI NYC takes their fashionable faces to the beach with their new swimwear line. Time to make a statement in the water, wearing the striking yet feminine new bathing suit and bikini line.

“I think swimwear should be fun, it’s one of the rare places in everyday fashion where women can be a little kitschy, a little out there, and totally sexy,” says Kerri Quigley the line’s designer. And I can totally see where she got it. The front is decorated with the ladies pretty faces, while on the back you can read quotes from each icon. Wearing a bikini that has “I am good but not an angel” on your bottom is indeed cute but with a wink, now isn’t it?

I personally am a big fan of the Audrey Hepburn swimsuit one. Love the great cleavage because of the low neckline; you can see that it’s a swimsuit that doesn’t have to press everything together in order to fit it all in… All NAKI NYC swimwear is actually double lined in the front for support and shape, always a plus on the beach. Straps close around the neck, taking care of awkward tan lines on your back. Sexy, practical and fun, all in one indeed.

Next to this personal favorite you can opt for the Marilyn swimsuit, which is a one piece strapless version with cut-outs on the sides. Or you can choose between the bikini’s, one classic, and one with high-waisted brief and a bandeau top.
