MISBHV has released its 'Season 2' [swimwear line](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dandy-del-mar) that features a series of grunge designs. The [bikinis and one-pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fioretta) of the collection are shown on a stunning model with a shaved head and an expression that is both demur and seductive.

Different poses correlate the racier swimsuits with a more sexual connotation -- making the grunge designs more powerful by showing the pieces with an aura of unapologetic confidence. The black and white photos are styled to draw attention to the contrast in shades of the swimwear, making clear the details that make the collection unique. The MISBHV brand name is implemented in the designs, creating patterns on the [athletic-inspired two-piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/country-club) and a one-piece designs that feature straps that liken them to lingerie.
