dsc 0204 199x300 Alexis Swimwear 2009: Primal Passion She may be new on the swimwear fashion scene, but Miami native and swimsuit designer Alexis Barbara is already making waves with her bold, bikini pieces.

The young designer debuted her Alexis Swimwear 2009 collection last year at the Miami Swim Show featuring tribal and exotic influences.

Her collection is a Sophisticated fusion of haute couture style and primal themes… and you can almost feel the raw passion in the print patterns and strong hues.

This striking, Bandeau bikini takes you right into the jungle… in heels!

The retro print pattern is more than eye-catching and the top ties in the front and stylishly drapes down the center for a striking effect.

If you like bold stripes, vibrant colors, playful prints and trendy styles, you’ll love the Sofia by Vix junior collection.

vix gold bikini 200x300 Vix's "Gold" Rush Drawing inspiration from the sun-kissed beaches of Brazil, Vix swimwear designer, Paula Hermanny infuses bold colors and
contrasting prints in the Vix Spring/Summer 2009 swimwear collection.

The new swimwear line debuted at Miami’s Fashion Week and featured elements including beautiful bronze metallics, colorful retro prints contrasted with solids and stripes, unforgettable cut-out monokinis and lots of mod bikinis with exquisite buckle and ring hardware detail.

We think this lavish, gold-like grommet embellished String bikini has major star potential, especially right here in South Beach. What’s not to love about all that bling glittering in the sun?
Vix isn’t the only designer taking note of the “gold rush” swimsuit trend. Guess also has a sizzling gold bikini that’s turning heads.

And Hollywood’s getting gold fever too. The Hills star, Audrina Patridge was recently spotted sporting a hippie-chic, front tie, summer-gold Halter bikini.
