Alexander Wang is launching his first line of swimwear. Who wants to place bets there is a profusion of fur bikinis?

The line will launch as part of his resort collection, but that’s not all that Wang wrote. Later this June, the designer will debut his first men’s ready-to-wear collection, thus ensuring your summer will be chock-full of Wang.

Jessica Lapidos — Fri, 27 May 2011 15:31:50 +0000

Last week we reminded you to get yourself in check with bikinis to jog your body conscious mind. Did you heed our warning and hit the gym super hard? No?? Well look at you now, Memorial Day, and still carrying that winter weight. For now, while it’s still early in the season, adopt a one piece, just to get you started. Then get crackin’.

[From left to right]

Zimmermann: With a busy bone print, and seams that converge pointed in the middle, it is engineered to make you look pin thin.

We Are Handsome: A bright graphic print and tied sweetheart will distract from imperfections.

Lisa Marie Fernandez: As seen on January Jones on the cover of W, and also in our first Boutique Critique, this neoprene suit zips it in.

Zero + Maria Cornejo: The twisted effect of this one strapped suit will take your eyes on a pleasant journey around your curves.

Missoni: The mesmerizing print will keep the eyes busy enough.

Dolce & Gabbana: Polka dot and belted, a fupa will disappear in the dark.

Topshop: Enough optical illusion dizzy the eyes, which is what we’re going for.

Warehouse: Itty bitty florals get busy.

Zimmermann: This lingerie inspired piece shapes the twins and the rest.

16 Geometric Swimsuits to Jog Your Memory

Jessica Lapidos — Tue, 17 May 2011 22:16:40 +0000

Jog my memory? Which memories? See, we forget so easily. I’m talking about memories of being naked (or as close to appropriately publicly naked as possible) during the summer. That’s why I’m showing you 16 bathing suits that are geometrically inspired. To, you know, remind you to get in shape.

1. H&M – A zig zag gem for $3.99.

2. Zingara – Bright stripe skimp.

3. L*Space – Fringe benefits of a one piece.

4. Adidas by Jeremy Scott – Get some fries to cover that shake.

5. Bambola – Squares within squares within stripes.

6. Roxy – Triangled triangles.

7. Concrete Jungle – Black and white bits.

8. Diane Von Furstenberg – Stripes like these illude optically.

9. Matthew Williamson – These shapes are a bit straggly, but super cute. Just be fit in it.

10. Mara Hoffman – Aztec two piece.

11. Dsquared2 – White looks even brighter on a tan.

12. Missoni – It’s so busy, you can get away with a little pooch until you get it together. And it’s Missoni, so it’s all good.

13. Paul Smith – Curves are cool, too.

14. Marni – Bubbled repeat on a high waist will conceal you.

15. VPL – Strap it on and make angles.

16. All Saints – Sparkle Aztec, sparkle.

If the sight of all these skimpy little things doesn’t inspire you to get off of your seat, stop blogging for a goddamn minute, quit skiving off yoga and go for a run maybe I’d be ready for a swimsuit!! Oh, wait, this is about you, not me. Yeah. Um. My memory is a little hazy. Time to start jogging.

Thinking of Warmer Days with Marc Jacobs

Josh Linam — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 22:10:06 +0000

Winter weather can take our shorts; it can take our tan. But it can never take our imagination.

If you live in NYC, you got belted with freezing rain and hail on your morning commute today.

With more cold weather ahead and no foreseeable vacations in sight, I personally must retreat into my own mind. In my mind it’s a sunny 76 degrees, there’s white sand, and I’m holding a minty mojito in hand. (Ah, feeling so tropical right now.)

For those with imagination, consider the Marc Jacobs speedo. $24 and available in three beach-ready colors, it’s what winter dreams are made of. To warmer days, my friends…

RANDOM COOL: Rosa Cha Leather Swimsuit

Monique Montagnese, Contributor — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 16:06:07 +0000

This £800 Rosa Cha leather one-piece that cannot get wet, so you cannot swim in it, has sold out. Apparently, this season its ‘in’ to buy extravagant swimsuits that cannot get wet: British department store Selfridges has had huge waiting lists for a £2,000 bikini by Pistol Panties that contains 5,000 Swarovski crystals. Ridiculous.
