Spring is springing up and the sun is shining on the beaches.
Banish the sweaters and treggings, and get out those teeny tiny eeny meany mine-y string bikinis.
Better yet, grab a copy of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2011 in advance of the first beach outing, and in some 20o pages, you can drool over the array of swimwear that is coming to a boutique near you soon. The 2011 collections of the world’s most coveted bikinis and suits are gorgeously photographed on what might be the most perfect 17 female forms on the planet.
Kikidoll has 4– count ‘em– 4 bikinis of her new 2011 collection in this SI Swim issue!
The mag and Kikidoll’s Aqua Coral String Bikini both helped to launch the rookie of the year, Kate Upton, with her abundantly ample charm, into the spotlight. Kate appears on the cover as ‘Kate the Great’ and none would disagree!
Five year veteran of SI Swim, Julie Henderson wore two of Kikidoll’s bikinis in the issue, both on location in Fiji. Julie said in her video interview that she liked shooting those scenes with the grass skirt the best of all her looks. Here she is in Kikidoll’s Hibiscus Kapa String Bikini–and grass skirt!
After all her twirling around and hula lessons, Julie looks more comtemplative at sunset stretching out her nearly 6 foot native Texan frame against a curvy palm in Kikidoll’s Coral and Tiki Halter Balconette Bikini.
And on Kikidoll’s home turf, SI Swim photographed its final location shoot in Hawaii nei.
They had intended to only film video there, but apparently with its neon theme, the paradisical setting, the uber-models themselves and the photographer, Bjorn Iooss, son of SI Swim vet Walter Iooss, he fortuitously decided to take a few still snaps. Good thing he did–one ended up on the cover with cat-eyed Irina Shayk!
And here is Alyssa Miller in Maui, another bombshell rookie with the looks of a 1940′s starlet, wearing Kikidoll’s Neon Shock Cutaway 1-piece.
Like the Geico ad, you’d have to had been living under a rock not to have seen, heard or known about the eponymous launch of the much twitted and long-awaited mag, such was the clatter (er, twitter) on the boards, on the TV, on building-sized posters, subway ads, iPad and iPhone apps–well, there’s even a 3D Sony Playstation video. Of course! We are all living in the social network!
From one splendorous tropical beach to another–with sites such as Singapore, Fiji, Maui, Boracay and the British Virgin Islands–and themes of corals and oranges, seaglass blues and greens, Oriental koi pond gardens, earthy animal and botanical prints and acid candy colored neons, the fashion shorthand for beach attire for this coming season is: 1) tinier the better, 2) bold colors matter, 3) strings rule, and 4) embellishment is a must. Oh, and tanned and toned–essential accoutrements.
And now, some 30 days away ( April 5) from now, Surfing Magazine launches its laid-back, insoucciant version of the best swimwear available in its stand-alone Swim issue. More au naturel but nonetheless glamorous in its trademarked kicked-back way, Surfing took its beach beauties to the Dominican Republic for its shoot this year. Channeling an Austin Powers palette of bold 60′s psychedelic prints in neons and pop art tones of oranges, yellow and tans, the mag never veers far away from its board-based roots, featuring real bikinis that real surfergirls can really surf in. Like, really!
With its edgy video teaser by Victor Pakpour and sneak peeks photos coupled with beachy crochet giveaways in the lead-up, Surfing is bringing up the rear–literally–from SI Swim‘s buzz on beach bikinis.
Word out is hitched up, ruched up and hiked up bikini bottoms are the be all, END all for this summer!
Really!
