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.

Lindsay Lohan Looks Lovely in Risky White Bikini

White bikinis—and white bathing suits in general—are a difficult feat to pull off, and those of us who are pale and aren’t blessed with natural brown skin or a healthy glow tend to steer clear of them for fear of being washed out on the beach.

Leave it to Lindsay Lohan to bring hope to pale-skinned women everywhere, as she sits by her Hollywood hotel pool in a stunning white bikini, with a strapped Bandeau top and perfect little bikini swimwear bottoms.

Though she usually sports her own fake spray tan line, Lindsay looks like she’s letting her natural freckled skin show, and it works well with this white swimsuit.

She looks healthy and fit, and the cut of the Bandeau top is very flattering on her frame. While the actress has had her ups and downs in the last few years, this look is really an up for her.

Hopefully, it’s a reflection of the direction her career will be taking soon.

Hottest Bikini Trend Is Bandeau Swimwear

One of this season’s current, hottest swimsuits trends is Bandeau swimwear. This easy-to-wear women’s swimwear style is flattering to any body shape, and offers a sleek, sporty swimwear silhouette while still managing to be both feminine and super sexy.

The bandeau’s barely-there design is made up of a single band across the bust instead of the typical triangle bra top, with a bikini style bottom.

Modified bandeau swimwear may be cinched in the middle for that added touch of cleavage, or may come with thin removable straps for an entirely new look, like the one by Salinas swimwear pictured below.

The bandeau has been seen recently on stars and celebrity trend-setters like Ashley Olsen, Rihanna, Kate Bosworth, and Nicole Ritchie. This swimsuit promises staying power, and is not just a trendy look that’ll be long gone by next summer.

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.

Vix Swimwear 2009: The Tube Bikini

Our bikini warriors have sought out fashion shows near and far to find the hottest swimsuit for this spring… and we’ve found it!

Just have a little faith in this stunning turquoise “Faith” bikini from the Vix 2009 swimwear collection – it caught our attention and held us captivated by it’s sheer beauty.

The triangle tube top boasts a splash of 23K eye-catching gold detail on straps that tie at the back and neck.

But here’s the best part – that beautiful bling isn’t just for good looks. Move the gold square beading anywhere along the straps for a customized look to suit your taste, then adjust the triangles for cleavage control.

And that’s just on top. There’s more tubing on the bikini bottom, so you can adjust your swimsuit for the perfect rear view too.

We think this two piece embodies a wonderful Brazilian sensability that will get you noticed at the beach or on your next vacation.

Betsey Johnson's Black Magic Swimwear

Stop the presses… this darling-yet-daring mod bikini is already making headlines at some of the hottest beaches in the country.

We think Betsey Johnson’s conjured up the right recipe with this one-of-a-kind pattern two-piece bikini from her Black Magic swimwear line.

Think sexy. Think sultry. Then add a hint of mystique, a pinch of attitude and adjust the straps to perfection for a customized fit.

The ring-shaped hardware detail on the top adds just the right amount of bling to the bikini top while the strappy tie sides on the bottom nicely accentuate the hips.

And when it comes to accentuating the hips and hugging all those other curves, Betsey Johnson swimwear always fits like a glove.

The brand’s swimsuits are not only stylish, they’re incredibly well constructed with unique prints and designs you won’t find elsewhere.

You’ll rule the beach and all the men on it in this swimsuit. We’re giving this one a two thumbs up for sheer fabulocity!

A Two "Peace" to Stop Any War

Peace, love and happiness is all you’ll ever need in this mod bikini that showcased at the Tommy Hilfiger booth during the 2009 Surf Expo in Orlando.

Many of the nation’s top swimwear designers and retailers joined hundreds of models inside the Orlando County Convention Center to showcase their summer fashions at the oldest and largest surf trade show in the US.

The event features exciting fashion shows, skate and boardsport demonstrations and attracts retailers and manufacturers from surf, skate, swimwear, and urban apparel shops.

We were among the 15,000 people who got a first-hand look at some of the hottest swimwear fashions that will be seen on the beach this summer.

And speaking of hot, we’re thinking you’ll easily raise the mercury in this mod, peace-themed, String bikini that delivers a one-love, stop-the-violence, “don’t I look sexy” type of message to the masses.

Best of all, you can make that statement without ever uttering a word… that’s why this hippie chic bikini with beaded side-ties is an easy winner in our book.

Vanessa Frolicks in Betsey Johnson Swimwear

We can’t all be lucky enough to live the fabulous life like the rich and famous, but with the right swimwear, you can easily fake the funk and look like a VIP in South Beach.

The paparrazi spotted the young and beautiful Vanessa Hudgens frolicking at the beach sporting a sexy striped Betsey Johnson bkini.

We absolutely love this nautical-themed look on the High School Musical 3 star! Her striking bikini is detailed with a rope-embellishment trim and finished with beaded, strappy tie sides for extra flair.

And kudos to Vanessa for perfecting this look with a Sara Jessica Parker-inspired daisy in her hair!

Now for extra star appeal, wrap an earth toned sarong around your waist and add a pair of slightly oversized shades along with a slightly oversized bag.

Next, add a chic beach hat and step into a pair of Esparadrills. And lastly, find some arm, neck and ear bling to finish the look and head poolside, or to the beach boutiques — anywhere you can been seen and noticed — for some star treatment.

Don’t worry if you can’t find any paparazzi to mistake you for Vanessa — just opt for plan “B” and head poolside in that hot bikini for free cocktails — you’ll get ‘em.
