The entire line is made of three pieces of swim attire. There is a bikini top, a bikini bottom and one pair of [male swimming trunks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mack-weldon-x-bather). The male and female swimsuits are created using the same patterns. The designer want to create a pattern "that reflected the energy as well as the fresh, playful, avant-garde and lively personality of W Barcelona." The results of this desire came in the form of a blue and white geometric patterned bathing suit. The patterned resembles shattered glass in a more illustrated way. The limited edition William Tempest swimwear will be sold exclusively online. It can also be obtained by guests staying at the W Barcelona Hotel's WOW suite. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Exclusive Swimwear:** Opportunity to create limited edition swimwear lines with unique patterns and designs inspired by specific destinations. - **Gender-neutral Swimwear:** Potential for swimwear lines that offer matching patterns and styles for both men and women, challenging traditional gender norms. - **Online Exclusivity:** E-commerce platforms as the sole distribution channel for high-end swimwear brands, creating a sense of exclusivity and scarcity. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Retail:** Fashion retailers can tap into the demand for exclusive swimwear lines and collaborate with designers to create limited edition collections. - **Hospitality:** Hotels can partner with fashion designers to offer exclusive swimwear for their guests, enhancing the overall guest experience. - **E-commerce:** Online platforms can leverage the trend of online exclusivity to attract customers looking for unique and limited edition swimwear options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Men's Summer Swimwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vilebrequin-x-joel-mesler.md) - [Versatile Sleek Swimwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dandy-del-mar.md) - [Athlete Swimwear Knit Fusion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tom-daley-swimwear.md) - [Bespoke Swimwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathing-belle-swimwear.md) - [Luxury Swim Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swimwear-redefined.md) - [Wellness Focused Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathing-belle.md) - [Luxe Whimsical Resort-Style Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/st-regis-x-vilbrequin.md) - [Limited-Edition Swim Trunks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mack-weldon-x-bather.md) - [Patterned Swimwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pendleton-swim-and-beach.md)
