Nicole Carroll  is an amazing young woman whose inspiration and creative genius is the driving force behind Tyler Rose Swimwear. Nicole is a California girl who grew up on the golden coast, living the So Cal. lifestyle and dream, roaming the pacific to pursue her love for the beach and her passion to find the perfect swimsuit.

 For many girls with luscious curves, finding the perfect swimsuit to give you the support, fit, comfort, and style you need, can be a difficult task. Nicole is not the kind of gal to sit on the sidelines and settle for second string, so she decided to do something on her own to solve her dilemma and change the game plan.

 Fate had it that while on “the beaches of Playa Negra in Costa Rica, she met a woman who ran her own shop and made her own custom swimwear.”  “Nicole and the woman shared stories and their feelings into the twilight hours and thus ignited the spark that became a roaring fire that is Tyler Rose Swimwear”.

 Her collections are “born of the classic Palm Springs style, yet capture the essence of a sun kissed California girl, being inspired by the strength and inherent fun that was exuded in the late 70’s to early 80’s rock n roll era, when music met glamour and rocked, hard! Now her vision is a lifestyle all its own!”

 Sweet Emotion is the rocking new collection coming this fall from Tyler Rose swimwear 2011, available at Butterflies and Bikinis , a swimwear boutique.

 Girls, get ready for another sun kissed summer that’s says, “I own this beach wearing Tyler Rose Swimwear.”  Mix and match styles, luminous colors, bright neon, with lace and varied textures all with the fit, comfort and style you’d expect.

 Tyler Rose Swimwear, Sweet Emotion 2011, available December 2010. Keep checking back for pre-sale and the latest in swimwear fashion.

POKO PANO

Fortunately we recently met with POKO PANO again this year at the famous Mercedes Benz Fashion Week held each year in Miami’s South Beach. Attending their fashion show and meeting personally, we had the chance to see, feel, and experience, the 2011 collection first hand.

“POKO PANO continues to explore the beauty of Brazil through their new 2011 Collection.  POKO PANO designer, Paola Robba, has created a collection that showcases her love for her native Brazil. 

 Inspired by the people of Brazil, the collection embodies the fun, flirty, and fashion-forward designs that POKO PANO brand is known for.  Interpreting this season’s trends with a Brazilian twist, the line offers modern stripes, anime hearts, military inspired camo, and bright country floral.  The vibrant Brazilian lifestyle is seen throughout collection’s flare for mix-and-match.

 The 2011 POKO PANO Collection demonstrates the brand’s signature style of unique and flattering silhouettes.  This year, POKO PANO features traditional bikinis in barely-there and more traditional American cut bottoms, sexy cut-out one-pieces, chic monokinis, and retro inspired shapes.  The collection also puts an emphasis on statement hardware, lace detailing, and impeccable handiwork.

A favorite of the biggest stars and celebrities in Hollywood who love to show off their beautiful bikinis bodies and catch the attention of everyone, like Kim Kardashian, LeAnn Rimes, Angie Harmon, Bridget Marquardt, and Janet Jackson.

Each season, Cia Maritima creates new and exciting styles in bold prints and patterns with exquisite detail, pushing each collection to the limit. Not willing to rest on past achievements by playing it safe and repeat the same styles year after year;

Each season they start fresh and invigorated creating new and exciting styles and silhouettes that play out like a romantic novel, tucked away in the tropics worn by a Goddess, to be admired and worshiped.

As with any designer who takes a chance, some years are better than other and not every collection and idea works but, this is not the case for the up coming collection for 2011.

 I get the opportunity to see hundreds of designers each year and thousands of swimsuits and styles. It doesn’t take long before most of them all look the same creating nothing new, exciting, cutting edge or fashion forward.

That’s when it is a huge delight when something knocks you off your feet and jumps out at you and says WOW! That’s what we have this year with Cia Maritima 2011. Beginning this November 15^th, 2010, the new Cia Maritima 2011 Collection along with their Special Collection will be available.

New for this year is the ability to buy Brazilian Bikini in separate sizing. In times past if you wanted a Brazilian cut bottom you had to purchase the suit as a set with the same size top and bottom. Not any more! Which if you are like most women and have some curves to show off, you can order a large top with a small bottom or visa versa, or other size options to fit your specific figure type, ALL GOOD NEWS!

Beach Bunny

Angela Chittenden, is “The brains — and body — behind Beach Bunny Swimwear, Angela’s passion for couture kicked in at an early age. “Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always loved fashion and swimwear,” she explains, taking a momentary break from her jam-packed schedule to speak about her design philosophy. “So being able to combine the two is a dream come true for me.”

Angela’s all grown up now — a mother of two daughters and four step-daughters ranging in ages between one and fifteen. But she’s managed to keep her spectacular figure and her sense of fun. Both of which inspired the launch of her breakthrough swimwear in 2004.

As a former swimsuit model, Angela had the chance to wear hundreds of different suits. “And none of them ever felt right,” she recalls. “Either they were too conservative with too much coverage, or they weren’t very classy. There was nothing out there that was sexy and elegant. So I decided to design my own.”

Pictured to the right is the “Kim Kardashian” designed “Snake” string tie bikini

In designing that first Beach Bunny Swimwear line, Angela knew she wanted to create something different, something special, “something that would let women show off their bodies, feel sexy and confident, glamorous, flirty and fun all at the same time.”

She searched for unique fabrics, experimented with sexy cuts, added embellishments and hardware no one had ever thought to add to swimsuits before. Rather than looking at other swimwear designer lines, she found inspiration in the bedroom, blending elements of upscale lingerie into her styles.

Pictured to our left is the Russian fashion Super Model Irena Shayk, featuring one of her designs for Beach Bunny Swimwear.

“Some people said I was crazy, that my designs were too risky, too out-there to catch on,” Angela remembers with a sly smile. “I guess they were wrong.”

Angela’s boudoir-inspired lines were an instant hit with women looking for swimsuits that make a bold statement. By ignoring trends, Beach Bunny Swimwear started setting them. And grabbing the attention of the fashion, media and celebrity worlds. Sports Illustrated dedicated more pages of its Swimsuit issue to Beach Bunny Swimwear than any other line. Soon, celebs like Salma Hayek, Jessica Simpson, and Eva Longoria Parker were hitting the beaches in Beach Bunny suits. And Angela found herself featured in a slew of media outlets including People, InStyle, E! and Extra.

Not bad for a designer with no formal training — just a serious passion for fun-loving swimwear hand-sewn in the good ol’ U.S.A. In fact, Angela credits the success of her line in part to her self-taught design skills and instincts. “We do whatever we want, without paying much attention to what other designers are doing. This creative freedom is what makes our suits so unique, and so popular. Every woman is different. They want swimwear that reflects their individuality.”

Pictured right is the beautiful Chrissy Teigan in one of her design inspirations, “Paparazzi”

Angela also credits her success to the outstanding team around her. Believe it or not, Beach Bunny Swimwear is a family-run enterprise, with Angela’s father balancing the books as the company’s CFO and her sister leading up wholesale accounts. Even her step-daughter has expressed an interest in getting into the family business.

“My family has been incredibly supportive and patient,” says Angela. “My daughters Presley and Nikolai, my step-daughters Kaelin, Jordan, Payton and Jasmin, and their dad have been a tremendous source of inspiration for me.” Angela is also quick to acknowledge the girls working in her office and store, who often know before Angela which suits are going to be the season’s smash hit.

Angela continues to find inspiration for her swimwear, not only from the people around her but from the places she visits. A voracious traveler, she’s always on the look out for textures, colors, tones, hardware and fabrics she can borrow for her designs. “I’m using the color of the bark of this incredible tree I saw in Belize for one suit,” she explains. “I just got back from Dubai, where we’ll be opening a new store, and fell in love with the beautiful jewel tones I found there. You’ll see that in the new line, too.”

While always thinking about the next design, Angela is also thinking about the future of her company. With the opening of several retail stores in Los Angeles, Scottsdale, Miami and Dubai, Beach Bunny Swimwear is quickly becoming an international brand. So how does this small-town girl originally from Iowa handle the success, and the pressures that come with it?

She’ll be the first to admit, running a successful high-end swimwear brand is not always a day at the beach. “But I love what I do. I feel like the luckiest person in the world, to be able to create something that celebrates women, their beauty and strength and personality, every day. This motivates me to work harder.”

Famous Joanna Krupa looking sexy and “Something to talk about”

But like the women who wear her suits, Angela also likes to have fun. When not creating her next break-out design, she enjoys traveling, loves to dance, and of course relishes every second with her kids and the man she’s been with for over eight years. So, if Beach Bunny Swimwear is designed by a mom, does that mean mothers can also wear them?

“Absolutely,” agrees Angela. “I’m thrilled to see how much our audience has expanded. We’re seeing more mother-daughter pairs come into our store, buying matching suits. Beach Bunny Swimwear is for women of all ages.”

So if you’re on the hunt for a sassy new swimsuit that shows off your every curve, then bring your sense of fun — and your mom — and head over to Beach Bunny Swimwear. If Angela’s not buried under a stack of fabric swatches, she might even come out to say hello and help you pick out the perfect suit for the Beach Bunny in you.”Article, courtesy of:  www.beachbunnyswimwear.com
