Elegant Poolside Attire

Gottex S/S 2009 Swimwear

— September 12, 2008 — Fashion
The Gottex Spring/Summer 2009 Swimwear line featured an array of elegant swimsuits yesterday at the Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week.

The Gottex white swimsuit with a horizontal shredded top drapes the shoulders and breasts. It connects to the bottom with a clasp and ends with fringes, for a lavish look that evokes cocktail attire. Equally suited for an evening soiree is the other white Greek-style swimsuit, which was presented with gems running down its center.

Between earth-toned high-waisted bikinis, a golden anchor linking bikini bottoms to tops, anchor accents over the breast, halter-top bikinis, and one-pieces with plunging necklines, it was hard to choose which photos to present this morning from the Gottex Spring/Summer 2009 swimwear line.

That said, I leave you with two great videos so you can view the Gottex Spring/Summer 2009 Swimear collection in its entirety.

Trend Themes
1. Elegant Swimwear - The demand for more upscale swimwear, that can transition from a pool party to a cocktail party, presents an opportunity for designers to experiment with new materials, designs, and embellishments.
2. High-waisted Bikinis - The trend towards high-waisted bikini bottoms reflects a growing interest in more modest and vintage-inspired swimwear, which can be applied to other fashion markets as well.
3. Anchor Accents - The continued popularity of anchor motifs represents an opportunity for accessory designers to incorporate variations on this timeless icon in their collections.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Design - The swimwear market, in particular, presents numerous opportunities for innovation in design, fabrics, and functionality.
2. Accessories - Anchor motifs and other nautical elements are a hit in a variety of fashion categories, ranging from jewelry to footwear.
3. Event and Luxury Planning - Upscale swimwear designs that can transition from pool parties to cocktails present new opportunities for event planners to create themed, high-end events.
