The arrival of June marks the unofficial kick-start of summer, and the weather is already heating up. In anticipation of the scorchers to come, we're ready to kick it poolside, beachfront, and sprawled out on a chaise lounge—after a little swimwear wardrobe refresh.
In a market saturated with solid-coloured skimpy string bikinis, it can be heard to find a suit that fits, flatters, and covers, plus comes in a fun summery print. Luckily, luxury footwear and accessories brand Charlotte Olympia has just teamed up with Brazilian beachwear designer Adriana Degreas, to launch a Old Hollywood glam meets modern playful swimwear capsule collection that screams fun in the sun.
To celebrate its 10-year anniversary, Charlotte Olympia is bringing their signature kitten-adorned pin-up accessories aesthetic into the summer season. In a strategic retail play, uniting with Adriana Degreas' internationally coveted luxury swimwear label, the limited-edition collection fuses both designers' trademark styles.
Featuring retro high-waisted bottoms with flattering ruched side panels, plus sexy strapless and structured bustier tops, the suits are an ode to the classic 1950s vintage silhouettes. Available in both bikini and one-piece varieties, the suits come in cute eclectic prints, including stand-out leopard and tutti frutti appliqués, plus timeless solid options of fire engine red and blush pink. In addition to swimwear, the collection also includes pool slides, vintage bathing caps, and airy coverups.
The exclusive collection of Charlotte Olympia by Adriana Degreas swimwear will be available for purchase in mid-June at Bergdorf Goodman and other worldwide retailers as well as online at the Adriana Degreas site.
