KEVA by Keva J Swimwear Is Stylehive's Next Big Thing!

image
It takes a pretty incredible collection of swimwear to get me (and many others, I presume) excited about bikinis and bandeaus in the middle of winter. Meet Keva Johnson, whose year-round, endless passion and excitement for swimwear has easily rendered her line KEVA by Keva J one to watch in the coming year. With funky yet functional styling, edgy, high-fashion cuts, and influences ranging from New York City to Rastafarian culture, it's safe to say the Brooklyn-born designer is full of surprises! Her philosophy is clear- she says "Fierce. Edgy. Unique." is at the essence of her swimwear- and after one glance, it's easy to see why, though I've definitely been fixated on her entire Spring collection for some time now! I spoke to Keva about what attracted her to swimwear, her favorite designers, and the other areas of fashion she plans on exploring. Read on to see what she had to say, and check out the slideshow for swimsuits unlike anything you've ever seen.

This winter, if you are craving to escape somewhere that is tropical, elegant, and definitely splurge-worthy, consider the One&Only Ocean Club in the Bahamas. Since the Ocean Club was featured in the James Bond flick Casino Royale just a couple of years back, fans of Bond (or maybe just Daniel Craig) may already feel familiar with the resort's hushed decadence and luxe British colonial decor. Luckily, you don't have to be a dashing British spy to enjoy this fabulous resort located, very fittingly, on Paradise Island. What was once a private estate and mid-1900's Hollywood hot spot, the "Club" is now an enchanting escape and island playground for the adventurous travelers, the spa-lovers, the golfers, and the gourmands alike. Craving relaxation? Then grab a good book, a beach towel, and a frozen drink and spend the day on the resort's pristine and private alabaster beach. Craving excitement? Then walk next door to the neighboring 18-hole championship golf course, or stay resort-side to try some jet-skiing, snorkeling, or exploring of the Club's stunningly landscaped Versailles gardens. Enjoy High Tea, complimentary afternoon champagne (served by butlers, of course), and at sundown head over to the beachside restaurant, Dune, for cocktails and critically-acclaimed French-Colonial cuisine. So whether you come to the eat caviar and stay in one of the Club's private villas just like your favorite British secret agent, or if you are simply craving a chic yet exotic getaway, consider Bahamas hot spot the One&Only Ocean Club.
