Peak of the uber hot Indian summer has me looking for excuses to dive in -- anytime. Then Hanadi's been badgering me to write a post in midst of a bad writer's block; so I thought, how about interpreting Spring-Summer 2013's biggest trends in some drool-worthy swimwear. Yeah I know (laughing).
B/W: The eternal clash of the opposites have dominated runways this year. Roger Vivier, Proenza Schouler, Celine, Chanel, Buran Uyak, Givenchy, Alexander Wang, Lanvin, Valentino, Moschino and more have nailed stark -- almost absent palettes -- juxtaposing them with sexy silhouettes in this fabulous monotone revolution. Get your beach dose in this ruched and I must say, very classy one-shouldered number by Norma Kamali.
Floral: Blah florals went totally fab this season! I mean imagine, even Bottega Veneta did florals in their most original avatars. I am sure all of you must have feasted on the Prada black, white and red numbers, and the appliqued-on delights of Chanel. Marc Jacobs also stayed true to the quintessential flowery element by using a generous sprinkling of print. Be the flower girl in this two-piece ruffled bikini by Zimmermann.
Neon Pop: Alright, loud and quirky brash colours never did go out of style right? Would you guys agree? Neon was big as usual this year too. Besides just clothing, these delightful streaks of fun were seen on eyes, nails, and accessories. Louis Vuitton went yellow... Calvin Klein dived the red route... Tom Binns went full glorious rainbow-style... And Simone Rocha went Luxor highlighter green! Mix all of it up in this geometric cut-out swimsuit by Agent Provocateur.
Blue Splash: Cerulean, cobalt, aqua to indigo, fancy shades of blue were seen in creations by the houses of Burberry, Elie Saab, Cacharel, Michael Kors, Monique Lhuillier, Nicholas Kirkwood amongst others. Cool and soothing irrespective of metallic or mute undertones, this embellished bandeau-bikini by Tara Mathews has bling as an exciting add-on.
Striped Vintage: More notably, a sixties revival was seen this year in the collections of Moschino, PPQ, Victoria Beckham, Jenny Packham and Giles. Another huge trend was stripes in a bold form seen in Acne, Balmain, Oscar de la Renta, Jonathan Saunders, MSGM, Vivenne Westwood, et cetera. Clubbing the two styles is this fabulous two-piece by Dolce & Gabbana in a juicy shade of mandarin.
Other dominating trends were all-whites, metallics, sheers, all-blacks, and more. But that is a story for another lazy day! Much love!

I like how I've been "badgering" you to post amidst a writer's block! Hahaha
