Two Must Haves For This Vacation Season: Red carter And Betsey Johnson Swimwear 2009
Are you a frilly pin-up girl or an in-your-face rock star? Well, whatever persona you put on, we have got the swimwear to fit! Two of our favorite designers, Betsey Johnson Swimwear and Betsey Johnson swimsuits bring us two entirely different collections, with entirely different looks.
The Red Carter bikinis collection is a tried and true, dream come true name in fashion. When it comes to swimwear, no one can top her. The details are lavish and exquisite. Any girl would feel like a pin-up princess in her suits. There is not another company out there to compare in quality and the attention to detail. Her name is synonymous with fun and flirty, and it is a line that always combines the old with the new. Above all, the swimwear is just beautiful, and is made to fit every body.
When viewing Johnson’s 2010 swimsuit collection, it seems almost a crime to jump in the pool. With fabulous names like “Patty Cakes” “Petal Pusher” and “At the Hop,” evoking a feeling of retro-glamour, you have to fight the urge to simply lounge poolside and be seen. And while vintage accents are an impossible to miss theme of the collection, this concept is expertly interwoven with modern techniques and undertones.
Even Betsey Johnson’s take on the black and white look, a dominant theme in 2010, is undeniably flirty. Tops and bottoms are fit with a lovely detailed called “Peek-a-bows,” which involve tiny keyhole cutouts and teeny-weeny bows. The ruffles on “Cheeky Peeky” bottoms up the sexy factor but maintain their perfect amount of coverage- enough to be modest, and enough to be sexy. These are details that are distinctly Betsey Johnson, and the fact they are always executed with the highest quality and attention to detail, is what makes her designs so easy to fall in love with.
If you are more in the mood to temper your inner coquette with a bit of a harder-edge, Betsey Johnson’s take on black and white offers a punk-edge, with trademark punk-inspired plaids, as well as devastatingly sexy cut-outs, keyholes, and a once-piece with a heart-stopping plunging back, crisscrossed by delicate whisper-thin straps. Striking the perfect balance between tough and sexy.
Red Carter swimwear is finely crafted and meant to get noticed- the epitome of his South Beach style. There is a very artistic and sculptural element to his design- think Art Deco translated into swimwear. Red is also highly influenced by rock-n-roll, which is clearly evident in his dramatic designs. Everything about Red Carter Swimwear is high fashion. If clean lines and fine details are your thing, it is going to be Red Carter for you.
2010 in the land of Red Carter is a perfect fit with edgy details. The highlights of these suits are geometric prints in bold colors and black and white. Zigzag prints can be found on many different swim suits- in a whole slew of unique versions. Solid blacks are linked with gold hardware. Beads and semi-precious stones line others. Sometimes we get a taste of the cutesy, when Red puts his fashion-forward take on ruffles and buttons- but it is executed in a very streamlined fashion.
So, whether you are looking to be a perfectly put together pin-up star on the beach, in a stellar suit by Betsey Johnson swimwear 2010, or a rebel rocking the waves in some hot number by Red Carter Swimwear- there is a designer swim suit designed just for your fancy!
