Although it’s not the summer yet and we still have some time before a swimming season, but I still decided to write about swimwear now. Why? Just because we do not have to wait till summer to go to swim.

Everyone knows that swimming is perfect all-round exercise. It’s ideal for those lazy gals, who don’t want to put too much effort to reduce their weight. Swimming in the pool twice times a week is enough to produce good muscle tone all over your body, to strengthen your health and to loose a few kilos.

But how to choose the right swimsuit from the huge variety of offered ones? Fashion trends are not of prior importance here. Your main task is to accentuate your best bits and distract attention from your weak arias. Try to flatten your assets, avoiding fashion disasters.

Here comes some tips…

You are a curvy girl? Then look for:

• Dark colors;
• Big and bold patterns over tiny prints;
• Wide-set shoulder straps, that will draw attention away from pear-shape figures;
• Smaller bikini bottoms, which make the hips look smaller.

Looking for a good support for you big bust? Then you’d better go for:

• Tankinis, as they give the best support;
• Underwired, moulded cups and mesh slings with adjustable straps, as they will flatten the assets providing better support;
• Radiant hues and small pattern prints are for those who want to make the breast look smaller.

And what if you have a small bust? Then I would recommend:

• A deep, slash front swimsuit, which will flatten your silhouette, adding a sexy touch to your bikini;
• Swimwear with ruching, ruffles and trims are perfect, as it brings an illusion of a curvy forms;
• Padded or gel bikini tops will add a few inches to a desired aria.

You think that your legs are short? Then you’d better:

• Select high-cut bikini bottoms, as they will illusorily longer the legs;
• Avoid bikini shorts – they are dangerous even for leggy models.

You have a long waist? Then your best choice will be:

• A deep V, a crossover or a keyhole, that accentuate the beauty of the back;
• A halter-neck with adjustable straps makes the swimsuit fit better;
• Tankinis will help to make a long body look shorter.

Modern swimwear producers create for you a vast variety of different styles, you just have to select the right one and enjoy yourself splashing in the swimming pool!

MarediModa, a leading beachwear producer in Europe, organized the first Asia-based exhibition of high-profile beachwear, which was held in Nusa Dua, Bali from 14-16 March. The exhibition was dedicated to swimwear fabrics as well as to accessory industry.

The main aim of the event was to bring the high-quality European Beachwear system to the Asian market, where the high-end swimwear is in great demand. Besides, the exhibition helped to improve the collaborative relationships between the European beachwear fabric manufacturers and beachwear designers.

MarediModa and Mittelmoda International Lab also arranged the competition for young designers from the Asia Pacific region. The competitors were asked to design a women’s beachwear collection using the fabrics of the MarediModa exhibitors.  The final was held within the Bali 2006 trade fair, on March 15 during the Gala Dinner. The winner got an all-inclusive trip to beautiful Bali, lots of visibility and promotion opportunities.

MarediModa Group is known for organizing similar events in Cannes and Munich for over 5 years already. The events are known as the most prestigious show of the kind, gathering more than 100 companies each time, while the group is considered a leading beachwear manufacturer thanks to the high quality fabrics and competitive service.

Established in 1988, MarediModa Group today unites about twenty Italian producers of beachwear, which respect tradition, history and unrivaled quality of Italian goods. From its first days, the Group has aimed to better the collaboration between converters and manufacturers, trying to expand the ‘philosophy of beachwear’ to all the sector’s components, upstream and downstream.

Swarovski introduced its collection of featured lingerie and swimwear at the Fashion Exposed Trade Fair held in Sydney from March 12-14. The group displayed prototype designs from 31 top best world  known fashion houses including Roberto Cavalli, Christian Lacroix and La Perla as well as Cheetah, Manik Mercian and Sarina Suriano.

The collection is well worth watching. The items are fabulous, they charm with the shimmer of thousands of tiny crystals, the artistic handicraft and the intricacy of designs. Some people are fascinated with the flamboyant garments and accessories so much that they are ready to pay as much as $30,000 for each (still, most items remain exclusive due to their cost).

The price is high, but the designers claims that the items are worth the money, as some pieces have been made for up to three months. Besides, Swarovski is known for its high quality crystals.  

The group has a long history in the fashion aria, and now it proved once again its fashion clout revealing with the new collection its ability to create ingenious designs with new colors, affects and applications.

Although some items are handmade and were crafted for “show” only, most of them as the fashion house promises suit for “everyday wear”. I, personally, has fallen in love with the costly lingerie as soon as I saw it, and I easily understand those who are ready to pay fortune for the things. Though, I hardly believe that the glittering undergarments will be comfortable for everyday wear.

Swarovski Lingerie and Swimwear collection is not yet available for sale, as most pieces are one-off prototypes.
