Danskin, an oldie but a goodie

Danskin Prima line

Do you remember Danskin? If you giggled to yourself, then you remember. I cringe a little bit when I look back at pictures of myself in my Danskin outfits. But back then, I loved them. They were always comfortable, always easy, and always reliable. Danskin is best known for its dance wear. They were the first to have knit tights and leotards. Girls everywhere were wearing these fashionable leotards, tights and leg warmers to tap, jazz, and ballet class. Fashions changed in the eighties, as they always do, and Danskin fell off the radar. Well, they are making a comeback. They’re taking everything we loved about them, and modernizing it. That seems to be the theme in fashion right now - reinventing styles that we are already comfortable with. Women want that familiarity right now, a brand they can trust. Danskin left a good impression on us once, and they are about to do it again. It’s Prima line is ultra feminine, has great fluidity and comfort. So, we encourage you to take an old friend out to dinner. Rediscover them and see how they have grown. You may be pleasantly surprised.

For quite some time ERES has been know as the pinnacle swimsuit. Women all over the world embraced the understated, modern style that ERES brought to the table. For a long time they stood alone, but now we’ve discovered D NU D. The swimwear line is equal to, if not better than ERES. You don’t see swimsuits like these everyday. There’s something about the way they are constructed, and how the fabric lays on your skin. Simply put, they are special. You will know it the minute you try one on. George Vicidomini, the creator of this ultra sophisticated swimwear line, spends months designing suits that are perfectly contoured to the female physique. He makes sure that all the technical aspects of the suit are addressed so that women are comfortable wearing it. As a result there’s not that constant urge to tug at it, the fit is beautiful. His suits aren’t about being overtly sexy, but more about being desirous. Vicidomini’s creations have an elegance that is really lacking in so many other swimwear lines. We love when we find a designer who uses his talents to shine a big beautiful light on the female form. It’s obvious from his meticulous designs that he has a real appreciation and love for women. For that… we are grateful!
