swimwear designer Tommy Hilfiger is embracing old Hollywood glamor … and making it new again.
You may not remember legendary bathing beauties such as Esther Williams, but the swimwear styles she popularized as a pinup swimming icon are unforgettable.
They’re so memorable that Hilfiger is among many designers, including Princesse Tam Tam, creating bikinis and one-piece swimsuits that capture a slice vintage Hollywood glamor with a modern twist.
Hilfiger debuted this luxurious one-piece swimsuit at the New York Fashion Week as part of his spring collection which he calls “relaxed American classics”. The solid one-piece features a daring, plunging neckline, with ruching detail to accentuate the waist.
We love it! It’s glamorous and elegant without being pretentious. Of course, Hilfiger doesn’t stray too far from the sporty, active swimwear we know and love.
