# Dizzyingly Patterned Swimsuits The Mara Hoffman Spring 2014 Swimwear Catalog is Vibrant By Meghan Young | Published 2014-03-28 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mara-hoffman-spring-2014 References: [refinery29](http://www.refinery29.com/mara-hoffman) & [marahoffman](http://www.marahoffman.com/new-arrivals//) The Mara Hoffman Spring 2014 lookbook shows that the fashion brand has everyone covered for the upcoming beach and vacation season. Granted, the [dizzying prints and patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fioretta) won't appeal to some, yet the New York-based designer's signature style is perfect for the sun, surf and sand settings. Vibrant, fun and undeniably feminine, they instantly set the right mood. Shot by photographer Olivia Malone amidst green foliage, the Mara Hoffman Spring 2014 lookbook was styled by Richard Ruiz. It focuses on the direction of the collection, which Hoffman reveals was all about "refining the collection and keeping it really body-based and sexy." From [bikinis to cutout one-pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-swim-collection) and [Grecian coverups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/escape-into-the-blue), the striking pieces are certainly body conscious. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Dizzying Prints and Patterns:** Opportunity to innovate by creating new and unique patterns and prints in fashion. - **Body Conscious Swimwear:** Opportunity to disrupt the swimwear industry by focusing on body-conscious designs that enhance confidence and comfort. - **Vibrant and Feminine Styles:** Opportunity to introduce vibrant and feminine styles into the swimwear market that cater to diverse tastes and preferences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Opportunity to disrupt the fashion industry by incorporating bold prints and patterns into clothing and accessories. - **Swimwear:** Opportunity to innovate in the swimwear industry by creating body-conscious designs and introducing new styles. - **Photography:** Opportunity to disrupt the photography industry by experimenting with unique locations and styles for fashion shoots. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dreamy Summer Swimwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangls-mirage-drop.md) - [Versatile Sleek Swimwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dandy-del-mar.md) - [Resort-Ready Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marie-oliver.md) - [Frilly Feminine Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hunza-g.md) - [Stylish Beach-Ready Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-swim-collection.md) - [Print-Focused Swim Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fioretta.md) - [Summery Bikini Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-spring-2024.md) - [Spring Bring-Ready Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swimwear-and-vacation-outfits.md) - [Sustainable Statement Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animalia.md)
