Alexis Swimwear: Fabulous in Ruffles

Need a bikini hot enough to melt the snowcaps of Mount Kilimanjaro?

Take a look at this beauty — an exotic two-piece swimsuit from the Alexis Swimwear collection, featuring sexy tribal and primal influences.

Yes, there’s something instinctively alluring about this hot little swimsuit number. And that makes the contrast of all those soft, sweet frills such a pleasant surprise.

This floral Triangle bikini is an adjustable slider top, edged in delicate, feminine ruffles that gently frame the bust for a flattering effect.

And more romantic ruffles frame the bikini around the waist and flounce delicately around the hips, making this beautiful bikini extremely relevant, especially since ruffles are making a major fashion statement vogue this summer.

We love this swimsuit from Miami designer Alexis Barbara because it oozes sex appeal while exuding feminine qualities at the same time.

Paris Hilton, Meet Alexis Barbara

What do Paris Hilton and South Beach socialite-turned-swimwear fashion designer Alexis Barbara have in common? A little more than you may realize.

The two young heiresses are both drop-dead gorgeous fashionistas who move in high-profile circles, live jet-set Hollywoodesque lives and share a passion for haute couture fashion.

And last summer, Alexis Barbara debuted her first swimwear collection at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Miami Swim featuring exotic and tribal influences. We really love this Miami native’s bikinis — they’re uber sexy and extremely skimpy, so wear if you dare.

Alexis has since launched a full ready-to-wear collection that’s getting rave reviews. In fact, the cameras spotted Paris Hilton ringing in the New Year in Australia sporting an ultra chic Alexis dress!

But the similarities don’t end there. Alexis, who like Paris is the daughter of a wealthy property developer (Oscar Barbara) has a thing for Australian hotties. She was once engaged to tennis star Mark Philippoussis — the same guy who had a very public fling with her royal blondness, Ms. Hilton.

Bikini Hot Pants are Hip

Would you believe that this retro-inspired, well-constructed and ultra-taylored outfit is actually a two-piece swimsuit designed for the beach?

We didn’t believe it either until we saw it debut at the Miami Swim Show in July. This stylish two piece in deep plum is from the Alexis Barbara “Gabriella” swimwear collection. It’s a chic triangle top that connects in the center, ties in the back and features attractive breast pockets and ruched, broad shoulder straps.

It’s paired with a sexy hipster boy short accented with front pockets and belt loops. You can swim in it or just enjoy looking good in it without ever going anywhere near the beach.

In fact, we think you could easily get away with wearing this sexy bikini with some vintage go-go boots, arm and neck accessories — a long necklace or a trendy scarf to set off that plunging v-neck would be perfect — and a belt to accent the hips.

You could transform from bohemian beach chic by day to mod party girl at night and then head to your favorite club in South Beach!
