Swim Week was amazing, with a multitude of lines presented and new companies debuted, as well as fashion shows and excitement galore—and, oh my, the parties! The swimwear industry is on fire, and designers are on their game. Note to self—always take a backup pair of comfy shoes to SwimShow. I was not expecting such tremendous growth in that show, and I chose to wear some new high heels to the event. Never again; I think I clocked about 14 miles (in one day), walking around the show in those shoes, and I could not walk the rest of the night! Judy Stein should really think about renting golf carts (just kidding?). While at the IMG event one night, I got stuck in a typhoon. OK, maybe not a typhoon, but it sure seemed like one. The storm caught me off-guard while I was in the cabana out by the pool. Rather than run for it, I decided to stay put on the couch under the cabana and take cover with some pillows. Hey—as long as I had my complimentary sangria, things couldn’t be too bad—right? It was crazy! And afterward the street in front of the Raleigh looked like lake Collins Ave. I had to swim over to the Salon Allure fashion event, but it was well worth the effort—it was fantastic. So much to see and buy, and for the first time in my life, I was happy not to be a buyer. I wouldn’t know where to begin! In this issue, we present some of the highlights, with photos of Swim Week in our feature on page 24. And as if that isn’t enough excitement, we talk about the explosion of jewelry for resort on page 44. Jewelry now adorns more than just our necks, fingers and wrists; it’s on swimwear, resortwear and footwear. In fact, some of the footwear we saw at SwimShow was so glitzy, it looked like it needed to come with a security guard. Our swimwear and resortwear fashion presentation on page 30,“Wahini Beach Break,” aims the spotlight at the ever-popular athletic-surfer trend, and some bestsellers for Season 2015 are highlighted in our cover-ups and accessories round-up on page 50. We were on the prowl for new lines during Swim Week, and in “Making Waves” on p. 18, you will see some of what we found. Finally, on page 58, buyers and retailers give their opinion of Swim Week in “Your Turn.” As always, thank you for reading and enjoying The Swim Journal. I want to hear from you! Please send me an email any time; your comments and suggestions are always welcome. S Suzanne Bernhardt Managing Editor Suzanne@theswimjournal.com JOURNAL The Swim Journal 60 E.

Her goal was to create a product that would produce the most radiant, healthy and beautiful skin possible.

Designer Tish Grosek created the design during a period of self-reinvention and discovery as she embarked on an entrepreneurial career. The fabric is a travel-friendly, wrinkle-resistant polyester spandex that lays elegantly on the body. Wrapit comes in two lengths, each available in two sizes—Zero (0-6) and One (8-12).

Marine collagen is extremely effective because of its low molecular weight, making it more easily absorbed through the skin.” Products are beautifully packaged, and include allday body and face creams, lip balm and an all-in-one transparent blue beach bag set.

A piece of clothing is inherently something more…it envelops and caresses, gently making the wearer feel comfortable, secure, beautiful and happy.” Born in India, Naithani obtained a degree in fashion design and established her own fashion house 15 years ago. She recently debuted her collection at SwimShow in Miami, and is currently based in New York. Amita Naithani’s day-to-dinner 2015 Resortwear collection is exactly that—a one-stop-shop for a fabulous vacation wardrobe, leaving little need for anything more. Feminine and romantic, the collection features hand-crafted, figure-flattering styles, such as bikinis, tunics, pants, cover-ups, dresses and more, which whisk the wearer from day activities to evening events in timeless style.

It all started the day Cox, a self-proclaimed “fourth-generation Cali girl with a Gypsy heart,” decided to create her own swimsuit to wear while on vacation. She had been working as an associate designer for a luxury women’s wear label. It soon became obvious that people were interested in what she was wearing and wanted to know where to buy it. A light bulb went off, and Cox quickly shifted gears, turning her living quarters into a personal design studio and manufacturing facility. Orders began flooding in more quickly than expected, as the line gained a cult-like following. Deep-plunge maillots, high-cut legs, and exquisitely detailed lace-up and stringtie backs prove that sexy skin is in. One- and two-pieces sport such motifs as the Beatles and the bald eagle. Non-traditional fabrics and components are used in the designs, including luxe leather, upcycled vintage pieces and bone. The 2015 collection, recently shown at Salon Allure, has grown to include onesies, cover-ups, booty board shorts, leather pieces and sexy rompers. With an office and showroom located in the downtown Los Angeles fashion district, Pacific & Driftwood has been featured in such publications as ELLE, Cosmopolitan, Cake, Foam and Zen.

Two Italian women—Julia Nasi and her mother Ana Cristina, inspired by the Cote d’Azur and Caribbean beaches—decided to update the iconic, basic one-piece swimsuit. They would do so, however, by applying what they cheekily coin as their “4-S Rule—Simplicity, Style, Seduction and Small Luggage.” “We wanted to present the classic seamless tank— the immortal icon worn in the ’60s by Liz Taylor, Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly,” says Ana Cristina Nasi. “This style experienced a comeback in the ’90s, but it has always been a symbol of elegance and grace.” The classic tank-style maillot is available in 11 stunning solids “reminiscent of tropical paradises” in low-cut or high-cut leg silhouettes constructed of premium Lycra. To accessorize these solid suits, soft and flowing dresses and kaftans are offered in two lengths, in solids or prints, including a stunning multi-colored feather print offered in two color ways, which may be worn with all of the shades of the swimwear. Gold-tone bracelets and necklaces are offered to accessorize the swimwear and resortwear. Muryx is based and manufactured in Milan, Italy.

The annual trade event that washes ashore in Miami Beach in July reached a zenith with swim and resort’s 2015 presentation, as every aspect grew exponentially—from the trade shows to the fashion shows to the sheer number of events. The Swimwear Association of Florida’s 32nd annual SwimShow & Lingerie Show, which took place at the Miami Beach Convention Center from July 19-22, added 150,000 square feet, for a total of 550,000 square feet throughout four halls. Exhibitors increased to 3,000 brands in 450 booths, according to Judy Stein, SwimShow organizer, who redesigned the layout for a smooth transition. “Our new floor plan divided the show into four key categories for more managed traffic flow and easier access for retailers,” she says. The sections included “Palm Row,” for designer collections; “Sunset Shores,” for trendy and CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: Indah; catwalk view of SwimShow; buyer’s view lines at SwimShow; Beach Bunny; photographers in action during swim week. t h e s w i m j o u r n a l.c o m n THE SWIM JOURNAL 25 FROM TOP LEFT: Aquarella; Luli Fama; Liliana Montoya; 6 Shore Road on the runway during swim week. 26 THE SWIM JOURNAL n t h e s w i m j o u r n a l.c o m boutique; “Paradise Isle,” for contemporary, better and men’s; and “Coconut Key,” for junior’s, missy, surf, cover-ups and children. “Mostly all of these vendor categories increased, and we even tested a small amount of activewear, which we’ll grow if there’s interest,” adds Stein. Buyers, whose attendance of 10,000 rose 15 percent from last year, were pampered with onsite spa treatments, and stayed connected through cyber cafes and social media posting stations. Cabana, a three-day trade show that launched last year, doubled its size to encompass two oceanfront tents between 21st and 22nd streets. The number of exhibitors rose from 45 to 100. Buyers for Bergdorf Goodman, Barneys New York and Fred Segal were among the attendees, which overall increased by 35%. They appreciated the beach-chic aesthetic, replete with a hip, healthy café and coconut water served in branded shells. Lyanne Roger, co-owner of Nic del Mar store in Coral Gables, Fla., returned to Cabana for its intimate setting and boutique focus. She wrote orders with Miami-based Maya, including their braided crochet style, and Kiini, a buzzworthy line by a Turkish designer in New York. “Customers asked about Kiini even before the show opened, since it’s favored by swim bloggers,” she says, regarding its handmade bikinis with bold, multicolored stitching and crochet. “They like anything with crochet, and these also happen to be comfortable with a great fit.” At the nearby W South Beach from July 19-22, Salon Allure celebrated its fifth anniversary with 40 exhibitors, including Lolli, Spanx, Tyler Rose and Tavik, showing their collections in luxury hotel suites. Salon Allure provides a quiet, intimate setting, in which 346 buyers took part—50 of them new stores, according to cofounder Rick Fatzinger. “Our concept appeals to brands that want to FROM TOP: Buyers shopping lines at SwimShow; fashion show pool side at Salon Allure; Caffe. t h e s w i m j o u r n a l.c o m n THE SWIM JOURNAL 27 FROM TOP LEFT: Models backstage at the LYCRA® event; Diana Vargas and Dianne Lober at LYCRA ® Celebrates Design: 10 Years of Swim Award; Dolores Cortés; Caitlin Kelly. show up with only their collection, since our all-inclusive packages take care of everything, down to the hiring of models and organizing the fashion show,” stated Fatzinger. Nearly 1,000 revelers came out for opening night’s fashion show presented by LYCRA XTRA LIFE, featuring such Sports Illustrated models as Anastasia Ashley and Kate Bock. Non-attendees just needed a computer or smartphone, not only to view the show in real time but to purchase orders directly from the runway through a shopping initiative with Molly Brown’s Swimwear stores, based in Newport Beach, Calif. The online trunk show marked a first for Salon Allure. Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim (MBFWS) also celebrated a milestone with its jam-packed 10th anniversary from July 17-21 at the Raleigh hotel. Besides its usual tents, “Cabana Grande” and “Oasis,” designer presentations and events took place in the penthouse and around the pool at various times. In all, 34 designers were featured, including Aquarella, Indah, Caitlin Kelly, Luli Fama, Caffé and Dolores Cortés. A dozen collections were shown for the first time. Sponsor Mercedes-Benz commemorated the occasion by commissioning 10 swimwear lines, such as Mara Hoffman, Nanette Lepore and We Are Handsome, to create an exclusive print in which to wrap its 2015 C-Class car. The prints also adorned limited-edition caftans, which were modeled at the opening night pool party. Parked at the entrance to the hotel and tents, the colorful cars sparked a selfie frenzy. The MBFWS events drew 10,000 attendees, 700 of which were buyers and press.

Through IMG Worldwide and Invista’s partnership, he will receive a complimentary show at MBFWS in 2015 and materials to create his next collection. Following this year’s grandness and hoopla, the industry must now await changes to future Miami Swim Weeks. MBFWS’s venue was purchased by fashion mogul Tommy Hilfiger, who intends to transform the Raleigh into a private club. Jarrad Clark, vice president and global creative director for IMG Fashion Events and Properties, reports that the event plans to remain in Miami. SwimShow’s long-term home—the Miami Beach Convention Center—is readying for its large-scale renovation and expansion, which will include a hotel, park and parking garages. The upgrade will take a few years to complete. Stein has already secured the venue for at least one more year while she explores temporary alternatives moving forward. elastomerinc.net Designers like Stella trust DuraStretch Elastic Rubber Tapes for all their apparel applications.

From footwear to swimwear to accessories, jewelry is making a splash for Season 2015! By N. Jayne Seward T hese days, it’s not only the water that sparkles in the sun at the beach or pool. Designers are accessorizing swimwear and resortwear with jewelry that’s inspired by the sun, surf and sand. “Beach/resort wear has become extremely fashion- able over the past few years,” says Lexi Segré, owner and designer of Lexi Jewelry. “With pieces suitable for either a day at the beach, an afternoon cocktail at the beach bar, or an elegant seaside dinner, women are looking for jewelry to accessorize [their] outfits.” t h e s w i m j o u r n a l.c o m n THE SWIM JOURNAL 45 For Resort ’15, many swimwear designers have collaborated with jewelry designers or are incorporating jewelry into their collections. Caitlin Kelly collaborated with California-based Artemisa Rivas to create detachable chain necklaces and bracelets, which complete her glamorous day-to-evening looks. Elizabeth Southwood has added sexy body chains to her Luxe Sauvage line, and supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio translated her affinity for jewelry into handmade trims for her debut collection, ále by Alessandra. Gold Czech rhinestones and black gemstones glam up this leather wedge from Pasha. A necklace of long dazzling chains accentuates the back of this two-tone maillot from Reset Priority.

As swim and resortwear become increasingly popular, women are merging their lifestyles with a beach-to-chic aesthetic. Whether poolside at a resort or rocking out at a music festival, women are in the swim—and they’re accessorizing. Popular looks include body jewelry, finger/hand bracelets, tassel necklaces, large earrings, stacked rings and plenty of color. Nearly Naked’s collection of jewelry ranges from body chains to belly and hand chains, and even jewelry for the feet—aka “barefoot sandals.” t h e s w i m j o u r n a l.c o m n THE SWIM JOURNAL 47 LEFT: Dune Jewlery custom makes sterling-silver bracelets with sand from any favorite vacation destination!

With the environment on everyone’s mind, ocean-inspired jewelry has become increasingly popular, says Harry Presser, president of Presco International, which makes sterling silver sea-inspired jewelry. Pink Powder’s designer jewelry captures the Mediterranean through its lively color combinations and materials, and Pasha incorporates glam gemstones, rhinestones and seashells into its sandals while capturing a seaside vibe. Inspired by holiday destinations such as the Maldives, Mykonos and Marrakech, Ashiana’s 2015 collection pays homage to the ocean with azure-blue colors and charms featuring sea horses, shells and anchors. t h e s w i m j o u r n a l.c o m n THE SWIM JOURNAL 49 accessories & coverups CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: Ashiana’s friendship bracelet joins multi-shades of pink beads with a faux stone and tassel.

We asked, you answered. DANISE OTIS Purchasing/Social Media, Sundance Beach Goleta, Calif. t was the first Swim Week I had been to, but it was fun to see the new trends evolving and not carrying over from other swim shows. I really liked L*Space, because they are trying to separate themselves. Monica Wise doesn’t replicate; she inspires others instead of being inspired. I like how she takes initiative, and her hard work shows through her collection.” “I BONUS QUESTION: Do you find The Swim Journal to be informative and helpful to your business? “Yes, I do. It’s nice to see all the swim news in one place. It’s a lot easier to find the information in one place rather than looking all over.” AMANDA THOMPSON Buyer, Beach Bazaar, Sarasota, Fla. was surprised at how exceptionally large SwimShow was this year! I’ve been a retail buyer at Beach Bazaar for years now (it’s in my blood), and each show is getting bigger and better. I was extremely excited to some of my favorite jewelry lines at SwimShow, including Rose Gonzales and Saachi, just to name a few. I usually see them at the ENK accessories show in New York. There were so many new lines and vendors—I felt like a little kid in a toy store. I can’t wait for next year!” “I BONUS QUESTION: Do you find The Swim Journal to be informative and helpful to your business? “I look forward to receiving The Swim Journal! It’s almost like a little map for me. I go through it and look at all the vendors that are advertising and preselect the ones I want to look for at SwimShow. That way everything is not so overwhelming. It’s like a sneak peak into the fashion world! I love it!” EMMA HEFFERNAN VICKY LE BUSHNELL Store Manager/Creative Designer/ Buyer/Merchandiser, South Beach Swimsuits, West Hartford, Conn. hen we visited Miami for Swim Week this year, we couldn’t believe what we saw! Every single designer and line really stepped up and brought so many different looks, styles, colors and prints. The runway shows were insane this year; they made it really fashion-forward, and they showcased the swimwear very well. It wasn’t the same-old, same-old. We were really impressed with what manufacturers had to offer, and we were so excited to share the 2015 collections that we picked up with our customers! It’s going to be a really exciting and fun season. I can’t wait to see what they have in store for next year.” “W BONUS QUESTION: Do you find The Swim Journal to be informative and helpful to your business? “The Swim Journal is great.

It was inspiring to see the shows, the bold new interpretations of cut, the enticing visual delights of new prints, and the advancement of swimwear textiles. The influence of Miami is bringing a new elegance and sophistication to swimwear, and all the accessories that now form part of a resort/beach wardrobe—that, for me, is particularly exciting, as our concept is a true head-to-toe, morning-to-night range. But what really stood out to us at this year’s event was the enormous coverage Swim Week generated on social media— Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.” “M BONUS QUESTION: Do you find The Swim Journal to be informative and helpful to your business? “I enjoy The Swim Journal; it gives me a good overview of all things swim. The swimsuit is now only one part of total swim fashion.

I have been in the swimwear business for 20 years, and have just recently returned to it after a two-year absence. After lots of thought and seeing the need in Edmonton, I decided to open my own store. Going to the show as a firsttimer, I was very overwhelmed. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a swim show of that size, with everything that a retailer needs. I found so many choices, and being able to see everything on fit models was a huge help. I definitely noticed all of the new style changes from just two years ago, and as always, the colors and prints were amazing. Some styles and prints are classics, but change is good thing. There were so many choices and lines that I’d never even heard of. I will be able to carry items that other stores in my city will not have. The layout of the show was easy to follow, and I felt very relaxed and comfortable walking around. We went to the fashion show on one evening, where all the manufacturers presented something from their lines. It was awesome—what a way to end the day! SwimShow was spectacular—a show that is not to be missed.” North American HQ • 8581 Higuera Street • Culver City, CA 90232 310-751-7955 www.coolwayus.com “T BONUS QUESTION: Do you find The Swim Journal to be informative and helpful to your business? “I have to honestly say that I did not know about it [until recently], but now that I have looked at it, I will definitely be using it for information and have my staff read it as well.
