I'll admit it, I'm a sucker for anything retro. From pin-ups like
Bettie Page and
Dita von Teese to paintings by
Alberto Vargas, I love them all. Best of all, they're a great source of inspiration for
swimwear! For the latest swimwear collection from
Pistol Panties, it's easy to see all the retro pin-up references!
Deborah Fleming, the British/Colombian designer behind Pistol Panties is committed to designing "glamorous swimwear to make you feel like a superstar." In fact, Deborah's first job was designing costumes for film and theater where she found vintage film costumes as inspiration. I can imagine almost every swimsuit flattering all shapes and sizes (which is quite a feat!). A variety of prints were featured from classic polka-dots and houndstooth to a bold print that reminded me of stained glass windows. Some of my favorite looks had giant floppy hats which provide much needed sun protection and privacy on the beach. It's hard to please everyone, but I think Pistol Panties may have done it! Take a look at my slideshow for the latest runway looks from Pistol Panties.
