She recently debuted her collection at SwimShow in Miami, and is currently based in New York.

Pacific & Driftwood Capturing the spirit of nature and the vibe of California’s lifestyle and diverse landscape, Founder and Designer Christian Cox created Pacific & Driftwood to be a statement of creative expression and individuality. It all started the day Cox, a self-proclaimed “fourth-generation Cali girl with a Gypsy heart,” decided to create her own swimsuit to wear while on vacation. She had been working as an associate designer for a luxury women’s wear label. It soon became obvious that people were interested in what she was wearing and wanted to know where to buy it. A light bulb went off, and Cox quickly shifted gears, turning her living quarters into a personal design studio and manufacturing facility. Orders began flooding in more quickly than expected, as the line gained a cult-like following. Deep-plunge maillots, high-cut legs, and exquisitely detailed lace-up and string- tie backs prove that sexy skin is in. One- and two-pieces sport such motifs as the Beatles and the bald eagle. Non-traditional fabrics and components are used in the designs, including luxe leather, upcycled vintage pieces and bone. The 2015 collection, recently shown at Salon Allure, has grown to include onesies, cover-ups, booty board shorts, leather pieces and sexy rompers. With an office and showroom located in the downtown Los Angeles fashion district, Pacific & Driftwood has been featured in such publications as ELLE, Cosmopolitan, Cake, Foam and Zen.

22 THE SWIM JOURNAL n theswimjournal.com Muryx It was a simple idea, with a classic past. Two Italian women—Julia Nasi and her mother Ana Cristina, inspired by the Cote d’Azur and Caribbean beaches—decided to update the iconic, basic one-piece swimsuit. They would do so, however, by applying what they cheekily coin as their “4-S Rule—Simplicity, Style, Seduction and Small Luggage.” “We wanted to present the classic seamless tank— the immortal icon worn in the ’60s by Liz Taylor, Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly,” says Ana Cristina Nasi. “This style experienced a comeback in the ’90s, but it has always been a symbol of elegance and grace.” The classic tank-style maillot is available in 11 stunning solids “reminiscent of tropical paradises” in low-cut or high-cut leg silhouettes constructed of premium Lycra. To accessorize these solid suits, soft and flowing dresses and kaftans are offered in two lengths, in solids or prints, including a stunning multi-colored feather print offered in two color ways, which may be worn with all of the shades of the swimwear. Gold-tone bracelets and necklaces are offered to accessorize the swimwear and resortwear. Muryx is based and manufactured in Milan, Italy. For more information, visit muryx.com.

Buyers, whose attendance of 10,000 rose 15 percent from last year, were pampered with onsite spa treatments, and stayed connected through cyber cafes and social media posting stations.

Nearly 1,000 revelers came out for opening night’s fashion show presented by LYCRA XTRA LIFE, featuring such Sports Illustrated models as Anastasia Ashley and Kate Bock. Non-attendees just needed a computer or smartphone, not only to view the show in real time but to purchase orders directly from the runway through a shopping initiative with Molly Brown’s Swimwear stores, based in Newport Beach, Calif. The online trunk show marked a first for Salon Allure. Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim (MBFWS) also celebrated a milestone with its jam-packed 10th anniversary from July 17-21 at the Raleigh hotel. Besides its usual tents, “Cabana Grande” and “Oasis,” designer presentations and events took place in the penthouse and around the pool at various times. In all, 34 designers were featured, including Aquarella, Indah, Caitlin Kelly, Luli Fama, Caffé and Dolores Cortés. A dozen collections were shown for the first time. Sponsor Mercedes-Benz commemorated the occasion by commissioning 10 swimwear lines, such as Mara Hoffman, Nanette Lepore and We Are Handsome, to create an exclusive print in which to wrap its 2015 C-Class car. The prints also adorned limited-edition caftans, which were modeled at the opening night pool party. Parked at the entrance to the hotel and tents, the colorful cars sparked a selfie frenzy. The MBFWS events drew 10,000 attendees, 700 of which were buyers and press. Selected designer line Cia.Maritima, which has been rebranded in the U.S. as CM, won the inaugural LYCRA

Swim Award for Brazilian owner FLEXIBILITY AT IT’S BEST Benny Rosset’s innovative use of LYCRA XTRA LIFE fiber. Through IMG Worldwide and Invista’s partnership, he will receive a complimentary show at MBFWS in 2015 and materials to create his next collection. Following this year’s grandness and hoopla, the industry must now await changes to future Miami Swim Weeks. MBFWS’s venue was purchased by fashion mogul Tommy Hilfiger, who intends to transform the Raleigh into a private club. Jarrad Clark, vice president and global creative director for IMG Fashion Events and Properties, reports that the event plans to remain in Miami. SwimShow’s long-term home—the Miami Beach Convention Center—is readying for its large-scale renovation and expansion, which will include a hotel, park and parking garages. The upgrade will take a few years to complete. Stein has already secured the venue for at least one more year while she explores temporary alternatives moving forward.

From footwear to swimwear to accessories, jewelry is making a splash for Season 2015!
By N. Jayne Seward hese days, it’s not only the water that sparkles in the sun at the beach or pool. Designers are accessorizing swimwear and T resortwear with jewelry that’s inspired by the sun, surf and sand. “Beach/resort wear has become extremely fashion- able over the past few years,” says Lexi Segré, owner and designer of Lexi Jewelry. “With pieces suitable for either a day at the beach, an afternoon cocktail at the beach bar, or an elegant seaside dinner, women are looking for jewelry to accessorize [their] outfits.”
theswimjournal.com n THE SWIM JOURNAL 45 For Resort ’15, many swimwear designers have collaborated with jewelry designers or are incorporating jewelry into their collections. Caitlin Kelly collaborated with California-based Artemisa Rivas to create detach- able chain necklaces and bracelets, which complete her glamorous day-to-evening looks. Elizabeth Southwood has added sexy body chains to her Luxe Sauvage line, and supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio translated her affinity for jewelry into handmade trims for her debut collection, ále by Alessandra.

Whether poolside at a resort or rocking out at a music festival, women are in the swim—and they’re accessorizing. Popular looks include body jewelry, finger/hand bracelets, tassel necklaces, large earrings, stacked rings and plenty of color. Nearly Naked’s collection of jewelry ranges from body chains to belly and hand chains, and even jewelry for the feet—aka “barefoot sandals.”

I have been in the swimwear business for 20 years, and have just recently returned to it after a two-year absence. After lots of thought and seeing the need in Edmonton, I decided to open my own store. Going to the show as a first- timer, I was very overwhelmed. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a swim show of that size, with everything that a retailer needs. I found so many choices, and being able to see everything on fit models was a huge help. I definitely noticed all of the new style changes from just two years ago, and as always, the colors and prints were amazing. Some styles and prints are classics, but change is good thing. There were so many choices and lines that I’d never even heard of. I will be able to carry items that other stores in my city will not have.
