    A swimsuit is a swimsuit is a swimsuit, right? Not if it's a Red Carter design! They challenge your idea of a conventional one-piece or bikini and have you lusting after the interesting and daring details of their suits. Red Carter isn't tentative or apologetic about their extreme and avant-garde outlook. There are, of course, colorful and lively patterns that stimulate the eye, but it is the space-age metallic leggings or edgy hardware that garner the most attention. It's the optical illusion patterns and the oversized, brightly colored, Lolita-like details that make you sit up a little straighter and stare a little longer. The strapless tops and wild animal prints earned more than a few double-takes... and possibly neck injuries! Beach coverings were elegant and luxurious. Men in speedos and barely-there briefs have never been my thing, but if all men looked like the male models did in Red Carter's bold and edgy "trunks," then I may just have to rethink my stance!

    Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week SWIM Runway: Tommy Bahama

    Summer is all about resorts and relaxation. Borrowing from this mind-set, Tommy Bahama introduced their latest collection of luxury resort and swimwear. Tommy Bahama has long been a leader in high-end cruise and resort wear, known for their pretty prints of tropical foliage and classic and elegant lines and silhouettes. The prints were a little less fun-in-the-sun and a little more sleek and sophisticated (which I think works better), but still featured the signature tropical plant patterns. Shadows of palm leaves and bunches of wild flowers were showcased on bikinis, maxi-dresses and flowing tops. Colors were rich and fun, but not acid or overly bright. Sherbet orange, ocean blue and jewel-toned fuschia were mixed in with basic black and white and other neutral tones. The swimsuits and resort wear for women featured halter necks and tube-tops or loose, flowing tops and dresses and were sexy without showing too much, making them appropriate for those looking for a little more coverage. The menswear featured classic cuts and lengths in their shirts and trunks, made more interesting with fun colors and trendy gradient prints. Topping off the look for both sexes were wide-brimmed, floppy sun hats that only added to the feel of laid-back luxury and effortless resort chic.
