Swimwear on the Catwalk & Backstage for S/S 2011

Swimwear is the essence of Summer, and many designers have featured bikinis and one-pieces on their catwalks this season including D&G who showed a floral inspired collection, Marc Jacobs who put on a 70's inspired collection for his mainline complete with over-sized sunhats and sunglasses, and DKNY, whose patterned one-shoulder swimsuits were feminine and body conscious. From tiny bikinis to sophisticated full ensembles for the beach, these swimwear pieces make beach dressing a breeze.
