ARGENTOVIVO One of the most striking lines of the brand is made in a futuristic style. The swimwear is decorated with giant gerberas or chrysanthemums in light shades. The flowing lines of flowers complement the fine details of the trendy Kashmiri pattern. The combination of large and small prints makes it possible to implement the theme of a fashionable mix. The huge rapport (coupon) is cut in such a way that parts of the pattern seem to be carried to different parts of the swimsuit, which gives the impression that both cups and panties are made of fabrics of different colors.

The line is presented in three colors: green background and purple flower, blue background with pink flower and dark red with yellow. Calm and dignified models are decorated with small ocean shells on a simple rope cord. Another line is made in a traditional nautical theme. It is richly decorated with pastel-colored sequins, reminiscent of the macrame technique. In swimwear models, as well as in lingerie models, the famous wave-shaped underwire - the know-how of the Argentovivo brand - is inserted into the base of the bra. Thanks to her, the shape of the bust is very feminine.

ROBERTO CAVALLI Ethnic style sets the tone in the collection. The "Kashmiri cucumber" pattern is decorated with a finish reminiscent of traditional Mexican ornaments, ordered by loose repetition. The fabric imitating python scales - the trademark of this brand - has been successfully used in the swimwear collection. Original combinations of large and small scales and unconventional colors add novelty: bright pink and lemon yellow, with which blue or black lacing contrasts. There are also models in navy blue, black, white and light blue. The collection of swimwear called Freedom is characterized by a combination of motives of rock art of primitive peoples and python skin. The drawing is not large, the figures of running zebras are painted in different colors, which adds cheerfulness and summer mood. Another theme of the collection is exotic flowering vines with snakes, zebras, leopards, and giraffes in the background. The different scale of images of plants (larger) and animals (smaller) creates a pleasant cartoon effect in the overall ensemble.

Maestro Cavalli's beachwear is made from natural fabrics. White cambric shirts are decorated with exotic floral embroidery along the neckline, which additionally gives a feeling of freedom, idleness and relaxation. Swimwear made of fabric imitating old denim, on which is applied the "Kashmir cucumber" loved by everyone this season, draw attention to themselves.

VALENTINO After a five-year hiatus, the House of Valentino presents a collection of swimwear for the first time in Russia. It characterizes the style traditional for the fashion house, which has long become a classic and its hallmark. It is an elegant combination of white, black and vertical red stripes.

The collection includes both female and male lines. The striking design element is a deep, clear cut in the shape of the corporate letter V. On the one hand, a very traditional cut, on the other, an elegant use of its own logo, which enhances brand awareness. The details of the cut are very laconic, but eminently elegant. Restraint in color adds weight to things.

Bathing suits are decorated with small gold buckles and clasps, which represent a circle in which the same V is inscribed.

Beachwear is represented very widely. The accentuated closeness, despite the very deep neckline, is emphasized by the rather dense fabric of the dresses, which look more like "little black" cocktail dresses. Beachwear repeats the style of bathing suits: the same black-white-red stripes.

Another line of swimwear is made in brown tones and decorated with belts and laces woven in macramé.

PIN-UP This collection is perhaps one of the most picturesque, since technologically sophisticated and artistically striking ways of decorating fabrics have been chosen for its creation. The picture is dominated by a picturesque palette of exotic islands, Tahitian, Gauguin motives are clearly traced. Laser-cut edges and multicolored sequins sewn onto the fish-scale bra create the impression of the seabed visible through the clear blue water. Fragmented sequin embroidery looks spectacular, which brings the pattern applied to the fabric closer to its holographic double. The effect of terry "fish scales" is created by small, penny-sized circles of fabric cut with a laser and sewn onto the upper part of the swimsuit.

The straps - wide, with a large knot on the neck, or very narrow - give things an island flavor.

The pareo is made of long threads attached to the belt, and resembles the reed skirt of the natives. The wide, one-piece cape is made using laser technology. This creates the impression that we have before us a thing of outlandish tropical flowers, connected to each other by petals. Exactly the same flowers can be seen in the "top with shorts" set, only they are made using the macrame technique and are almost indistinguishable from the traditional, but modernized, multi-colored guipure. An indispensable part of a summer wardrobe are T-shirts made from a mesh that is very relevant this season, the uniqueness of which is that the picturesque colors on the mesh are preserved in detail. Another line of swimwear is made of faux suede in a uniform deep sand color. Beads and appliques made of natural mother-of-pearl are used for decoration.

Swimwear CHRISTIAN LACROIX will be presented for the first time in the boutiques of "Wild Orchid". They are distinguished by original hand-painted fabrics. Christian Lacroix has added new details to the traditional stripe and created a hi-tech collection. The thinnest striped print of the swimsuit is diluted with running internet stitching, emoticons and other symbols of "electronic" life.

For another line of swimwear, the designer painted the fabric with butterflies and painted it with ornate squiggles, which are nothing less than the personal signature of the author, as if made with a gold or silver pen.

The collection features an original form of a closed leotard with a cut-out side and one shoulder strap.

The color scheme is sunny, cheerful and delicate: a combination of muted lemon, blue and pink colors. A more contrasting version is also presented, where pink is replaced with dark red, almost terracotta. The third color option is white and orange. A huge selection of beachwear is offered: sundresses, skirts, dresses, sweaters - everything you need for a beautiful carefree vacation on the coast.

ALBERTA FERRETTI Stability is a sign of skill. This adage is most applicable to the new collection of this designer. He is faithful to the nautical theme. The swimsuits are painted with turquoise and malachite algae, trimmed with shells and mother-of-pearl. Terry robes, chiffon trousers, tunics, pareos are decorated in the same style. The frame design of the print adds graphic harmony to the romantic style of the collection.

COTTON CLUB This brand presents a collection made in ecological colors. Designers have successfully used the "light genre" to express very deep thoughts about the eternity of the true and the bewitching beauty of the fleeting. The color of the fabric combines imitation of a marble surface, ethnic Mexican ornament and huge fragrant roses. Light and shadow are the main elements of the decor. Available in 4 colors: sky blue, dusty green, gray and brown. The cups are soft in cut, but supported by boned bones to improve the shape of the bust. The Cotton Club shawl shirts are full of deep blue roses.

In the new season, a highlight from the Spaniard ANDRES SARDA will be an original collection of tops woven of beads and beads.

They resemble chain mail and follow the shape of a swimsuit. They can be worn over it or directly on the naked body. Beads shimmer in the sun, casting millions of sunbeams around. In this collection, black is used as the main color and as the background.

The first line features deep black swimwear, decorated with gold-plated coins in the form of a monist, which is very important from a strategic point of view. The classics of shape and color are diluted with the sound of coins, which is impossible not to pay attention to.

The background line is represented by swimsuits, which are printed with an image of outlandish scarlet flowers with long thin pistils and inverted petals, which enhances the sex appeal of the model. In another version, a large floral ornament is applied against a black background in restrained pastel colors - lilac, pink, yellow, pale green, which brings some severity to a bathing suit.

Tropical flowers combined with steel chains, bouquets, stripes variations create a variety of Andres Sarda swimwear lines.

In collection from GIANFRANCO FERRE two shock moments. The first is the same black color, which gives the figure austerity and harmony. The second is the giant lotus flowers. They are transferred to fabric using photographic printing technology. This made it possible to achieve extraordinary accuracy and realism of the drawing. The lotus is made in juicy shades of cranberry and soft green foliage.

The same giant lotuses adorn flying tunics and stoles, made of chiffon and perfectly combined with the dense fabric of the swimsuit. The collection also includes a men's line of beachwear. The decorative element of the masculine line is a double bright yellow embroidered frame, inside which is placed the corporate logo "GFF".

MARVEL BY LA PERLA The swimwear of the collection is made of fabric with imitation of zebra and leopard skins combined with large scarlet roses. This is where the mix & match style is most evident. The top is made of hide, the bottom is made of roses. At first glance, it seems that this is a random combination of two different models. However, a short skirt with a wide flounce, also carrying a combination of "skin and roses", completes the stylish ensemble, making it very original and fresh in perception. The edges of the fabric are laser-cut, which allows it to be in perfect harmony with the texture of the skin.

The special coloring of the fabric, the decoration of the eyes of animals with rhinestones, as well as laser cutting of rose petals give a special realism and a sense of texture to the picture. Thanks to the use of the latest technologies, which are also successfully used in the production of lingerie, the fabric is not split, and the edge of the bra and panties resembles lace and envelops the body.

The striking element of the cut of the closed leotard is the equal cut in the front and on the back. Wide stripes running from the waist end with wide straps that form a large knot with long ends. The goal was achieved: the closed swimsuit is extremely open.

RITRATTI This collection uses classic stripes. And yet she can be called one of the most creative. The unthinkable combination of traditional swimwear fabric and the finest chiffon is striking in its boldness. You can't tell right away whether this is an open blouse paired with beach panties, or a bathing ensemble. Subtle processing of the fabric and the most delicate tones add grace. Selected two colors. The first is a combination of white, milky and diluted coffee stripes with strawberries, the second is the so-called coffee cocktail: a layer of black coffee, a layer of milk and coffee with milk.

In the cut of the swimsuits, the techniques used in tailoring are used: a chiffon top with an American armhole seems to float over tight-fitting panties, which allows you to demonstrate the graceful fragility of the torso or hide figure flaws in the foam of translucent chiffon.

The swimwear collections are accompanied by chiffon pareos and wide blousons made of chiffon of the same color. The complete ensemble promises to make a stunning impression, as the same stripes in different layers of clothing move in different ways, which cannot but attract admiring glances.

NAORY This is an interesting, original collection. The shawl color turned out to be very appropriate in the bathing version. Some vintage motifs appear in a combination of the traditional shawl pattern, to which the "Kashmiri cucumber" pattern is added, and a special color: delicate biscuit and noble pink shades, as well as a little peach and dark beige.

The sophistication of the collection is given by skillful embroidery with bugles. The embroidery repeats the fragments and nuances of the drawing, which makes it three-dimensional and shiny. The straps are very narrow, not distracting attention from the design of the model, and end with small silk tassels.

CHRISTIES A very beautiful collection, in which the first place is placed on a graceful cut that emphasizes the figure and original embroidery that adorns the products. The color scheme is quite simple: pink, blue and sand. It is the uniformity and straightforwardness of the color scheme that distinguish the collection against the general picturesque background. Medium dense embroidery plays the role of a kind of necklace and represents smooth, but slightly prickly twigs, suddenly blossoming with strange flowers.

A striking detail is a simple cotton tape in a contrasting dark brown color to match the embroidery, emphasizing the bust line in a swimsuit or made in the form of lacing on blouses. The edges of skirts and blouses are laser-cut, which makes the bottom of the garments even more lighter. Exemplary laconic swimwear made of fabric with imitation of suede with ragged edges and perforation is very effective.

MANUEL CANOVAS This brand is interesting because they produce the fabric for their products themselves. This allows you to constantly experiment not only with color, a combination of different textures, but also with the complete set of the collection. This season, Manuel Canovas offers a one-stop beach collection for women, men and children. Indeed, the appearance on the beach of a mother and a baby daughter in identical swimsuits will be very effective.

The season color of Manuel Canovas is bright yellow, very joyful. The drawing uses two original ornaments - passion flower and lotus flower. Large pinkish flowers, large green leaves on a yellow background create a feeling of sunshine, aroma and sophistication of a summer holiday by the sea. The cut of the swimwear features a V-neckline, wide shoulder straps, soft cups. In beachwear, the color scheme of the swimsuit is fully preserved, however, the shade changes depending on the fabric. Dressing gowns, shorts, blouses are made of either dense satin or delicate cambric. The cut is straight, no frills, the main thing is to be comfortable and fun.

NICOLE OLIVIER The collection can be divided into three main themes.

The first is Mexican motives. The main color is chocolate brown. The drawing is applied by laser spraying. The fabric imitates suede. The edges of the swimsuit are adorned with a short fringe, which gives a somewhat rough, cowboy style to the bathing suit.

The second line is made in black and white with floral suede decor. Copper round large buckles-buttons, decorated with ethnic Mexican ornament, are an interesting decorative accent on the straps and at the base between the cups.

The third line is a denim theme. Stretch denim has a pleasant cotton base. The washed navy blue bra and brown panties reflect the current mix & match trend. As a result, it seems that we are not looking at a swimsuit, but a denim ensemble with a top and shorts. The role of the obligatory belt for jeans is played by a thick white cord, twisted from cotton threads. The fringed edges of the leotard also lend the suit a casual but subtle style. A certain roughness of denim is softened by the presence of a delicate transparent pareo with tassels at the corners, in which the main colors of the collection are repeated, complemented by a very appropriate wide blue stripe.

VALERY This collection consists of three lines. The first one features swimsuits of blue, pink and peach colors, classic cut, decorated with small seashells and natural mother-of-pearl beads.

The second line is white, pink and blue swimsuits, which depict large roses, completely lined with sequins, which makes the pattern chic and voluminous. The swimwear of the third line is also made in brown color from smooth microfiber, imitating aged leather. Small metal rings are applied along the contours of the bra and panties using the piercing technique, which gives the costume a somewhat rude, careless, youthful, hooligan style.

Lingerie collection spring-summer 2003

This season, underwear is becoming even more self-sufficient - it is increasingly difficult to distinguish it from clothing. Fashion houses offer not to hide it under clothes, but to wear it instead of tops and T-shirts.

This season is widely used primarily mesh or linen tulle, microfiber, as well as classic linen fabrics - satin, chiffon, cotton.

The use of laser technologies in cutting fabrics allows you to convey the designer's artistic idea directly to each client as fully as possible. The linen is made of fabrics of the brightest colors, the current elements of which are the classic theme of flowers and exotic wildlife (imitation of leopard skins and python skin), ethnic motives, in particular, Mexican ornament, as well as Kashmiri "wild cucumber".

The lingerie of the spring-summer 2003 season is richly decorated with lace, ruffles, flounces, sequins, beads, appliqués, decorative flowers and insects, rivets, and perforations.

ROBERTO CAVALLI A romantic collection with a bold printed floral pattern, available in black, yellow and very bright pink. Silk satin and silk chiffon are used to create the look, which are used as complementary textures. A strongly low-cut bright pink shirt with thin straps is decorated with a side (from the hip) wide chiffon ruffle, which, as it were, pulls along the main weightless array of satin and carries it into a long train. The bra models use contrasting straps - blue to yellow, yellow to black. T-shirts are decorated with short ruffles along the neckline and hem of the sleeves.

RAVAGE The collection prepared by the brand for the spring-summer season is festive, almost wedding. Lingerie made of meringue fabric (the thinnest tulle, light and voluminous) is made in snow-white, pale pink or smoky gray tones. The models are decorated with small voluminous roses made of meringue fabric, which gives them a sweet, “confectionary” nuance. The exquisite applique made of the same fabric, in the shape of a dragonfly, embroidered with bugles and beads, looks very impressive. Short capes with sleeves with double ruffles are gentle and touching. The round neckline is gathered with a narrow chiffon ribbon, matched exactly to the tone.

VALENTINO The collection of linen is made of microfiber or knitted silk. The latest technology is a special pride of this fashion house. It allows you to maintain the softness of the material, while providing it with strength and elasticity. Milk and ivory silk underwear is decorated with the finest corrugated mesh. This is a classic of the genre. The collection contains all the details of women's underwear wardrobe, from bra to corset. The seams are accented with satin piping and look especially impressive against the background of the thinnest transparent mesh. The accessories of the collection are made of gold. The buckles are miniature rings with the company logo.

FASHINO The collection is made of transparent tulle, which is presented in light blue, light scarlet, black and milky colors. Fine Swiss tulle piping adorns the semi-transparent models. The whimsical pattern is made with a flesh-colored thread, which creates an intriguing play of fabric with the body.

MILLESIA The brand is famous for its excellent cut of the bra cup. Three darts give the bust a particularly striking shape. In the new season, the collection is made in shades of cappuccino and hot chocolate. Avant-garde is also featured in the new collection. These are models made of tulle of a very unusual color: blurred spots of various shades of brown with violet gleams. On one of the cups, the face of a Thai girl is subtly painted, as if spying on someone. Finishing - snow-white lace on the edge of bras and panties. The novelty of the season is an unusual model of an open-loop guipure bra that is worn over the head. The model has an American armhole and looks more like a smart top, which is in line with the new trends in lingerie fashion.
