Are you a frilly pin-up girl or an in-your-face rock star? Well, whatever persona you put on, we have got the swimwear to fit! Two of our favorite designers, Betsey Johnson Swimwear and Betsey Johnson swimwear 2009 bring us two entirely different collections, with entirely different looks.
The Red Carter one pieces collection is a tried and true, dream come true name in fashion. When it comes to swimwear, no one can top her. The details are lavish and exquisite. Any girl would feel like a pin-up princess in her suits. There is not another company out there to compare in quality and the attention to detail. Her name is synonymous with fun and flirty, and it is a line that always combines the old with the new. Above all, the swimwear is just beautiful, and is made to fit every body.
If you are in the market for a swimsuit that expresses simple, understated elegance, then please, look elsewhere. Betsey Johnson’s swimwear is a perfect extension of her clothing line: bold, outspoken, and unabashedly feminine. With collection names like “Patty Cakes” “Petal Pusher” and “At the Hop,” it is impossible to mistake each piece for anything other than a Johnson original. And while vintage accents are naturally, a huge portion of the design scheme, each design is thoroughly modern in its execution.
2010 is all about 1950’s pin-up glamour. Betsey Johnson’s take on the black and white look is hot. In fact, it is a dominant presence throughout the collection. Tops and bottoms are fit with a lovely detailed called “Peek-a-bows,” which involve tiny keyhole cutouts and tiny bows. Ruffles titillate on “Cheeky Peeky” bottoms that have the perfect coverage- enough to be modest, and enough to be sexy. These are details that are all so distinctly Betsey Johnson, and absolutely gorgeous.
If you are more in the mood to temper your inner coquette with a bit of a harder-edge, Betsey Johnson’s take on black and white offers a punk-edge, with trademark punk-inspired plaids, as well as devastatingly sexy cut-outs, keyholes, and a once-piece with a heart-stopping plunging back, crisscrossed by delicate whisper-thin straps. Striking the perfect balance between tough and sexy.
Red Carter swimwear is finely crafted and meant to get noticed- the epitome of his South Beach style. There is a very artistic and sculptural element to his design- think Art Deco translated into swimwear. Red is also highly influenced by rock-n-roll, which is clearly evident in his dramatic designs. Everything about Red Carter Swimwear is high fashion. If clean lines and fine details are your thing, it is going to be Red Carter for you.
Modern, striking, dramatic, sophisticated and simply stated are the designs of Red Carter. Based in South Beach, and sold in chic boutiques in all of fashion’s hot spots- from New York to Tokyo- this is one fashion line that has earned its keep. As a testament to their good taste, Red Carter swimwear has been spotlighted in such huge fashion mags as In Style, Elle, and Glamour. Red Carter is a shining example of a designer that combines charm with detailed complexity, and manages to stun us time and time again.
Whether you are looking for the perfect expression your flirtatious side or for an innovative and one-of-a kind sophistication, with Red Carter swimsuit you will not regret sticking withtheir 2010 swimwear collections.

Famous fashion designers have long loved using Italian leather for their high quality, top of the range fashion accessories. The most successful, such as the design houses of Prada and Gucci will often use Italian leather to make their highly sought after handbags. Although it is a status symbol of the rich and famous to wear accessories made from Italian leather, because of its hardwearing and long lasting attributes, it makes a perfect investment for any consumer. If you only want the best in life, then the only leather that you should choose is Italian.
Why is Italian leather the most desirable? Well, firstly, because it’s widely regarded to be the best in the world. Also, the leather is so soft to the touch. Thirdly, it is very durable and hardwearing. One of the most unique features of italian leather is that it is scratch resistant, yet maintains a light weight. Italian leather handbags actually look better as they age, as they develop a delicate sheen and become softer with time.
Where does Italian leather come from? The majority of Italian leather comes from cow hide. There are, however, variations of leather. For example – ostrich leathers and crocodile hides are two of them. However, we get full grain leather from the best of raw hides. The hides are absolutely pristine, with no imperfections such as cracks or marks. The result is that the leather is extremely durable and very tough and looks better as it gets older. Italian leather handbags, therefore, age beautifully
What can be made from Italian leather? What can’t be made from Italian leather – since just about everything can. Examples are leather gloves for both men and women, designer shoulder bags or clutch handbags also:
- watch straps
- purses
- suitcases
- wallets
- leather jackets and coats
- sofas and chairs.
I’m sure there are a few items I’ve missed, but you get the idea.
How to spot good quality Italian leather The softness of the leather is one way to find quality. The softer the leather the better the quality. There are variations in the feel of each piece. Consider also whether or not the leather is resistant to scratching. If it is you have your answer. The weight is also an indication of the quality. Italian leather has a feeling of lightness and is not heavy in weight which is another indication of the leather’s quality. With Italian leather handbags there will be no imperfections in the leather. The bag will be soft and pliable to the touch and light in weight.
The Italian leather bags will also develop superbly as they age. Their softness only increases and the sheen they develop will only add to its beauty. They are durable and last a long time. You may even become tired of the bag before it wears out – if it wears out that is.
