When the World went Witty about Swimsuits

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

Swimsuits have always been a fascination among fashion forward people. The only difference however, between good old days and current times is that women’s swimwear was downright modest then and now it has escalated to be sheer avant garde. But, during all this transition, no matter what, people have always been speaking their hearts out which we term as quotations.

Here are some of the most witty and humorous quotes about swimwear that have ever been said and probably even felt by people from all spheres.

Voilà:

  • “They were doing a full back shot of me in a swimsuit and I thought, Oh my God, I have to be so brave. See, every woman hates herself from behind.”, Cindy Crawford
  • “In 8 weeks, 8 pounds could make a big difference in how a swimsuit looks on you.”, Cynthia Sass
  • “You used to put the skirt on as a cover up. Now it’s part of the swimsuit. It’s an updated version”, Heather Hannan
  • “A girl in a bikini is like having a loaded pistol on your coffee table. There’s nothing wrong with them, but it’s hard to stop thinking about it”, Garrison Keillor
  • “Medical statistics are like a bikini. What they reveal is interesting but what they conceal is vital”, Anonymous
  • “Women shop for a bikini with more care than they do for a husband. The rules are the same. Look for something you will feel comfortable wearing. Allow for room to grow”, Erma Bombeck.
  • “A bikini is not a bikini unless it can be pulled through a wedding ring”, Louis Reard.

Swimwear designers churn their creative motors day in and day out to come up with sexier than imagination styles and beachwear creations to meet the wardrobe demands of fashion fanatics.

Swimwear Fashion Facts – Fascinating, to say the least!

  • When bikini was first introduced in 1946, it was described as a “two-piece bathing suit that reveals everything about a girl except her mother’s maiden name”. Now the statement is quite bold if the bikinis then weren’t. Nevertheless, in the later decades the designs became astonishingly daring to reveal much more than that.
  • Men’s swimwear in the mid 1940s closely resembled women’s bikinis and swimsuit designs, with tight abdomens and narrow hips. Now this is even more interesting than the first one!
  • Animal prints were first introduced in the 1950s with a tag line, ‘If you can’t drive a Jaguar, wear one.” Wonder what the floral prints were tagged with?
  • Luscious and silken Italian fabrics have redefined designer swimsuits and bikinis in their own special way. However, in the 1950s it was the Spandex fabrics that revolutionized the swimwear industry. Vogue described it as ‘Second Skin’.
  • The introduction of ‘Sports Illustrated ‘Swimsuit Edition’ in 1964 skyrocketed the importance of swimwear apparels in both men’s and women’s fashion.
  • The ‘bi’ in bikini has nothing to do with the the two-piece design of the swimsuit. However, a three-piece ‘trikini’ did make an appearance in 1968 but soon faded out.

    • We hope that the above facts about swimwear stimulated your interest to know more about this fascinating form of clothing.

    Jennifer Aniston Wishes to Create Her Own Swimwear Line

    Monday, September 14th, 2009

    Jennifer Aniston seems to have fallen for swimsuit designing as well! The former ‘FRIENDS’ star confessed her desires of introducing her own swimwear line in a recent interview. This is the first time that Jennifer has planned to venture into the world of bikini fashion. And the intense interest has apparently stemmed from the challenges that she has faced while searching out for bikinis for herself.

    Jennifer’s kitty has never had a dearth of limelight, fan following and famous men falling for her! There are no two ways that the damsel is definitely a style diva and knows exactly what she does and wants. So, there has to be something substantial about her swimwear inclinations as well; given the spectacular career graph that she has carved. Also, it goes without saying that she would easily manage to fetch many fanatic buyers too. We just wonder, would Angelina Jolie make it to be one of her loyal customers as well? Well, for that we got to wait and watch ;-)

    Jennifer Aniston – Would-be swimwear designer

    The 40 year old celebrity is known to possess a fine knack for fashion and we can expect her bikini creations to be also oozing a good amount of vogue, élan and exquisiteness. She is currently busy in promoting her latest movie Love Happens and then she has plans to take time off to go on an adventurous holiday. We just wish that her swimwear line also takes off soon.

    Until Jennifer Aniston works on her latest interest, you can give already-reigning-the-surf-world designer swimsuits a thought! Molly Brown’s display an array of exclusive swimsuits, cover ups and accessories. Say what? You can now write to us at usorders@mollybrownsswimwear.com.

    Swimwear Fashion – Changing Facets

    Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

    Swimwear fashion has an entirely new meaning in the era that we are living in. Bikinis are synonymous with lifestyle and are not just confined to affluent sections or celebrities. Gone are the days when swimsuits were just a clothing requirement at the beaches. Now is the time when they are touted, more than just for getting your toes wet. Today, swimsuits, bikinis and cover ups define a style statement for the beaches, pool and theme parties and not to forget fashion in general!

    With new versions of beach apparels swarming the surf arena, the swimwear fashion provides a greater variety for all shapes and sizes. Modern swimwear (though a very narrow term to define the eclectic tendencies prevalent in bikini and swimsuit designs; from retro to latest cuts) makes you look like a diva! Designer swimsuits have attracted a devoted market of customers because of their state-of-the-art creations that assure a great look and perfect fit!

    Dynamic swimwear world

    Designer swimwear is often mistaken for being just meant for celebrities and the crème of the society. Take our words, it certainly isn’t so, indisputably they are a bit expensive and you might have to walk down to the high fashion end of the city to buy your favorite designer swimwear but every luscious piece of designer swimwear or beachwear is worth the effort. On the other hand online shopping is an excellent alternative, for those who prefer the comfort of their homes to browse through a variety of designer bikinis, swimsuits and cover ups.

    It is a saying in the swimwear fashion fraternity that your beach look isn’t complete unless you have the right accessories. Trends change with every season and one has a lot of variety to choose from, sexy cover ups, stunning havaianas and multitude of other match-it-up stuff for your swimsuit, to make their pick from. Although the swimwear session has zipped past for now, you can meanwhile jot down your fashion diaries!

    Bikini Story – For the Love of Swimwear!

    Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

    Since bikinis and swimsuits are an indispensable parts of our lives, knowing a bit about their origin and beginning would definitely be helpful and not just for knowledge but for some fashion sense as well (you never know when retro swimwear becomes popular again!)

    Bikini is perhaps one of the most controversial innovations in the ever-changing face of fashion. No wonder, the teeny-weenie piece of clothing, usually touted as bombshells’ darling, derived its name from an island that is known for nuclear tests (see the connection ;-) ).

    Bikini Atoll, the island got its two-piece connection courtesy Louis Reard, a French engineer who developed the swimsuit out of competitive rivalry and not a passion for designing swimwear.

    Interestingly, the two-piece dates back to the copper age, when it was mostly worn as a sports apparel. The clothing looked much different then as compared to today’s modern bikini. Early 19th century saw the rise of one-piece but the midriff remained inconspicuous. Slowly and steadily, this fashion found a footing in Hollywood and eventually moved to beaches. By 1940’s bathing suits became common on American beaches. However, it was only after Reard, bikini got skimpier making minimal use of fabrics.

    Bikini Fashion – Hail to the Minimalists

    Finally, the swimsuit became bikini for its mini size and the maximum sensation it created. The name had much to do with the semblance to a furor, an atom bomb creates. Although it was Reard’s competitor Jacques Heim’s design that was first worn on the beaches but the credit for the coinage of the fashion apparel goes to the French engineer.

    The popularity of bikini, six decades after is on an upsurge like never before. Nevertheless, it still remains controversial. Bikini has traversed through many decades and has seen a lot of changes from an era when it became a bold statement at beaches to a thing for fashion.

    Although the itsy-bitsy has moved from shocks and uproars to admiration and following, it still remains a swimwear piece that you can’t take your eyes off!

    Let’s make much of the contemporary bikini fashion. Browse through a wide range of designer bikinis at Molly Brown’s, online swimwear store.

    Bikini Trends – Rise of the Hot Brigade!

    Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

    Designer Bikinis

    Designer Bikinis

    Bikinis, adorable and itsy-bitsy pieces of swimwear apparel are perhaps the most fashionable and looked-out-for style statements. A stroll in a bikini or a photo shoot in a stunning swimsuit, making a headline and grabbing all the attention is not new. Fashion divas and celebs swear by bikinis alike and flaunt their fab bodies in best of the designer swimsuits.

    Bikini trends change with the change in time. Dating back to an era when it started off as an athlete’s attire, it has journeyed over many eras and trends, to become the in-vogue swimwear apparel. Bikini, when it came on the scene, raised many-a-brows for its seductive and provocative basics. However, today if it raises anything at all, it is the tropical heat in summers!

    Bikinis – Today and Tomorrow

    Coming to contemporary styles and trends, bikini is here with some new cuts and designs. Going by this year, next year too one-shoulder bikinis shall overshadow the conventional two-piece casual ones. Victoria secrets’ superseller bikini, last year, is sure to make some news this time as well.

    Another trend that is flaunted and adored by celebs is the cut-away bikini design. These mono-kinis are perhaps the most-sexiest thing to adorn while you’re surfing or getting the tan on the beaches. These bold mono-kinis can also be paired with cover-ups for a more subtle look.

    Last but not the least, a trend that has always stayed on is the classic one-piece swimsuit. With crazy cuts and bolder prints, here innovation and inspiration plays along with the designers’ imagination making the one-piece ever-so-popular.

    As opposed to the bold bikinis, Burquini is the latest swimwear that covers up from head-to-heels and is especially designed for Islamic women.

    Cheers to the creativity of our swimwear designers, who seem to have something for everyone!
