ARAKS
Having launched with a lingerie line in 2000, designer Araks Yeramyan recently branched out into swim. Her aesthetic is seriously cool- simple, graphic shapes in a rainbow of shades. Fans of the designer’s underwear include Sarah Jessica Parker and Sofia Coppola- you can bet they’ll be snapping up her swimwear too.

DUSKII
Activewear never looked chicer or sexier thanks to co-founders Lucia Plane and Patreece Botheras. Having grown up on the beaches of Australia, the duo saw a gap in the market for surfers and ocean lovers who want high function but not at the expense of great style. Last year they launched a collection of flattering mix and match separates in quality neoprene. Surf’s up.

FLAGPOLE SWIM
Designers Megan Balch and Jaime Barker are New York based beach lovers. This is translated into a line of practical designs in unusual colour combinations that will withstand the surf and won’t look out of place beside a city pool.

MARYSIA SWIM
Former ballet dancer and surf-lover, Maria Dobrzanska Reeves’ range is seriously covetable: think perfectly cut, super flattering shapes in high quality fabrics. This season it’s all about distinctive scalloped edges- we want it all.

ZEUS + DIONE
Though not a swimwear brand per-se, the bikinis and one-pieces have really caught our eye. Designers
Mareva Grabowski and Dimitra Kolotoura look to their Greek heritage for inspiration, fusing traditional craftsmanship with modern sensibilities. We love their use of colour and simple shapes.
