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.

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.
