Bold, Head-Turning Bikinis

Scoop up one of these cute suits before you hit the beach!

With all of the understated-but-chic swimwear lines on the market (like Brette Sandler and Maya) , where's a fashionista to turn when she really wants to make a splash? Pick up something from famed graphic artist, Jasper Goodall's luxury swimwear label, JG4B.


Jasper custom-designed the bikini Gwen Stefani wore on her honeymoon, and counts celebs like Sienna Miller and Naomi Campbell among his fans. Here's why they're hooked: Bright, punchy prints, which he describes as "sexual, fantastical, dreamy," translate into vibrant bikinis that pop poolside. Halter necklines, adjustable cups and ties, and high-cut bottoms make these suits a flattering option for a wide range of body types—as long as you're prepared to be noticed.

Score one of the styles from this year's "Midnight Menagerie" collection online at Net-A-Porter or if you live in the New York-area, at C. Ronson (239 Mulberry Street) or Henri Bendel (712 Fifth Avenue). You won't look like everyone else. Trust us.



RANDOM TANGENT:
A major bikini breakthrough occurred in 1974: the invention of Lycra.
