Mathew Zink’s swimwear brand is a blast from the past. The leopard and zebra print designs are sure to appeal to any fashion conscious diva who strives to dress with a classic edge. If you are looking for sexy swimwear with a retro feel, then the Charlie collection will make you wish beach attire could be worn all year round.
Zink claims that the designs are "a tribute to the decadence of the 1970s" with a provocative yet glamorous appeal. The brand includes both bikinis and general beach attire, but don’t be fooled into thinking that this brand is for casual lounging. Zink’s work is designed for women who strive for an elite look and seductive appeal. After glancing through the Charlie promotional photo shoot I’m already falling for these classic looks.
