There is a defined thought of summer in our minds, as we get shivering all day long in our studio. But in dreams of heat, before it gets too hot and sticky, we want to give an admiration to this season with these cool tones.
Who knows we might be back to these colours in coming summer, to cool ourselves down.
Full Piece, Full Print
(L-R) Erdem – Pistol Panties – Seafolly – We Are Handsome
Did you know that this July marks the 67th birthday of the modern bikini?? So to mark this occasion let’s have a look at some cool print trends making a splash and having a frolic in the swimwear world.
From vibrant florals and crisp clean tribal designs to 1950’s inspired prints and styles, even the one piece suits get in on the action with some great examples of the scope of digital printing onto lycra. There’s plenty of animal action as well, We Are Handsome perhaps being a little too obvious for some? And who thought food was where it’s at, Top Shop sure thought so!
Start working on that beach bod and look forward to the array of exciting colours and prints that will be on offer in the not too far off future. Here’s to sunshine that will hopefully show her rays this weekend!
