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.

Sports Illustrated the Halter bikini version of this suit in their 2009 issue.

When it comes to haute couture swimwear design, nobody does it better than Red Carter.

The South Beach designer who dubs himself the “Austin Powers of the bikini business” is known for creating one-of-a-kind, original swimwear that incorporates pop culture in his swimwear themes.

In short, Red Carter bikinis are drop-dead sexy. Just check out this red-hot bikini designed to push all the right Buttons when you wear it on deck or at the beach.

This nautical-inspired two piece from his “Red Buttons” line features a well-constructed Triangle top that ties in the back and neck.

But the real highlight of this swimsuit is the Boy Short bikini bottom! It’s sporty, stylish and sexy all at the same time with to-die for white buttons to accent the whole look.

The fire-engine red, boy-toy bikini is an easy showstopper, so if you want to get noticed on deck… this is a definite yes!

Sofia’s soft and sweet swimsuits are designed for the carefree, active girl with a passion for fashion.

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

We love the brand’s youthful silhouettes and standout pieces, but our favorite piece is this must-have retro dot Bandeau bikini in kiwi and white!

The top is a striking twisted bandeau with mod dots accented with fuscia hardware detail in the front.

The bikini bottom is set off with a stylish belted waist and matching fuschia detail for extra flair. The overall vibe of this bikini is ‘crazy sexy cool’ with a chic 60′s theme.

Sofia swimwear by Vix definately captures the essence of youth with a cosmopolitan twist. We think this beau bikini is a great catch for the beach… and so is the hot guy

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.
