When it comes to seductive swimwear that captures the essence and soul of Brazilian sensuality, no one does it better than Salinas.

Ever since Tyra Banks graced the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue in a stunning Salinas swimsuit, the swimsuit brand has developed a strong and loyal following of Hollywood celebrities and swimwear aficionados who swear by Salina swimwear.

Salinas Swimwear has become a leader in the swimwear industry and is known for setting bikini trends and using only the highest quality lycra. In the Salinas Spring/Summer collection for 2009, we were impressed with the variety of exotic prints, the use of light, easy colors, shapes and sheer fabrics that took us straight to the carefree beaches of Brazil.

We can’t wait to see this unforgettable sea shell-inspired pearl String bikini with sheer cover-up — straight from the runway of the Brazilian Fashion Week in Rio de Janiero (see video here) — on the beaches of Miami.

Meantime, Salinas’ 2008 swimwear is easily “what’s hot right now” in cruise wear. Floral prints paired with stripes, loveable striped terry cloth bikinis, retro polka dots and mod 60′s inspired prints are hip right now.
