Freya and Fantasie Swimwear for Fuller Busts

July 5, 2011 by Krista

I love the beach! In fact, I spend a significant portion of time there every summer. And, it wouldn’t be complete without an arsenal of Freya and Fantasie swimwear!

For years, I struggled accommodating my full bust into swimsuits. I tried buying XL tops in hopes of containing my assets, but because I’m so narrow around, the fit was never quite correct. I could never quite tie the straps around my neck and back tight enough. I could hardly enjoy myself because I was spending so much time fidgeting with my suit. And then…I met Freya!

I couldn’t believe that fun swimsuits could actually fit! Freya (and sister brand, Fantasie) swimsuits are bra-sized and designed to fit a wide range of sizes. Freya and Fantasie are sold at leading retailers including Bare Necessities, Linda’s, Town Shop, Asos, The Little Bra Shop, and Brastop.

July 21, 2010 by Bruna

Jessica Simpson has collaborated with luxury swimwear brand Red Carter to produce a new swim collection that was inspired by her favorite vacations and the jet-setting getaways she dreams about. “From the nautical seashores here at home, to hot Havana nights or the bold colors you’d think of in an exotic foreign land, the line is fun and flirty, but still so classic,” she told Stylelist. “I’m always inspired by my fans and I want my clothes to be pieces that women feel confident wearing anywhere.”

Separates range between $40 and $50, while suits retail between $80 and $100. The line is now available at select Macy’s stores across the U.S. and on the Jessica Simpson Collection Web site.

Aqua Doce 2010 Swimwear/Beachwear – Celine Brink

November 30, 2009 by Mandolina

Aqua Doce hasn’t been featured on The Lingerie Post yet – but it’s yet another very succesful Swimwear and Beachwear label from Brazil. Their collection for next season is a modeled by Celine Brink, a relatively unknown Brazilian model registered with Elite Brasil.

From the Aqua Doce press release:

“In times of global change, classical elements reappear with a new interpretation, proving that the eternal does exist. Repaginating the classical models, the 2010 spring/summer collection from Agua Doce comes anchored on the contemporary new interpretation of the Surf Chic universe. With a cosmopolitan and timeless language, Agua Doce got a new drapery with the “lycra 71”, a lot more noble and visibly more beautiful, this material will aggregate a sophisticated freshness. The new “nectarine” fabric is here to stay, with its velvety touch it’ll give lightness and fluidness to bikinis and swimsuits.

In citrus shades, adding a pinch of navy elements, the patterns show ludic nuances and minimalist features. The colours transit through a colorful and outstanding color palette, very typical for this season. Crystals appplied on plain pieces give them a cooler look. Diversified moldings will please every woman, who will be able to mix bikinis and bathing suits with coordinated accessories or more unusual beachwear pieces.

The accessories follow trends from the international runway shows and get more important every single season for Aqua Duce (that is becoming a beachwear label much more than just a swimwear brand right now).”

November 13, 2009 by Mandolina

Despi Swimwear is yet another young Brazilian swimwear and beachwear label quickly making their move into the US market thanks to a huge push towards retailers and excellent value for money combined with sexy & classy designed. Designer Despina Filios (based in Rio De Janeiro, and spearheaded as “the new face of Brazilian beach fashion” by the Brazilian Press) partners her love of swimwear with great business sense – and that results in the 2007-launched label growing quickly in these tough times for starting businesses.

This collection is brand new for the 2010 Summer season – and won’t be available in shops for a while. Don’t expect cheap – but expect “the real deal”. 18kt Gold detailing, inspired designs – and authentic Brazilian beach looks!

Lisca Lingerie & Swimwear Catwalk Show ’09

November 10, 2009 by Press Release

At this year’s much-anticipated Lisca‘s fashion event in Hotel Union’s Union Hall in Ljubljana the fashion trends in lingerie and swimwear for the Spring/Summer 2010 Collection were presented. This time fruity flavours intertwined with refined golden whiteness and transparent black in artistic images created by Lisca’s designer Suzana Gorišek (lingerie and swimwear Lisca Selection, Prestige collection), Marjana Cešnjevar (Lisca swimwear), Melita Letnar (Lisca Fashion collection), and Maja Ratajc (lingerie and swimwear collection Cheek by Lisca).

As you’ll see – the label has taken its inspiration for the high-profile runway show from Victoria’s Secret‘s catwalk shows – and I think that’s just awesome!

The sophisticated and fatally seductive swimsuit collection Lisca Selection will be glowing in refined violet, graffiti and black, flirting in details with ancient goddesses. Elegant swimwear Lisca Fashion will convince with a discreet graphic print and a pinch of golden on the black foundation, ensuring a seductive elegance also on the beach.

New for the upcoming summer season is the colourful Cheek by Lisca swimwear collection marked by fruity flavours with a sense of nostalgia for those old colourful fishing boats; in yellow, green and coral shades.

The romantic story was continued by beauties in Cheek by Lisca lingerie, reminiscent of a Spring morning in the gentle spray of raindrops – mango, green and yellow will not only be an excellent choice for lingerie this Spring, but also a great choice for matching pyjamas.

The elegance of the Lisca Fashion lingerie collection has blossomed this year in gentle rosy shades of lilac and pink, also appropriate for everyday pampering as well as wedding nights with its lady-like draping, applications and delicate embroidery.

In the coming year the bold designs of the lingerie collection Lisca Selection will be in the emerald green colour wrapped in precious silk, while the attractive black will breathe in the transparency of the tulle and embroidery.

Lisca’s imagery was completed by the exclusive sensuality of the Prestige collection. The artistic creations were designed specially for the evening by Lisca’s designer Suzana Gorišek, and inspired with the flirtatiousness of their baroque luxury and modern futurism with the most daring low cuts from the finest materials. Plissé, silk, organza, handmade French lace, handsewn flower applications, Swarowski crystal stones, stitching and transparency… because seduction is an art.
