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 swim bring us two entirely different collections, with entirely different looks.

When viewing Johnson’s 2010 swimsuit collection, it seems almost a crime to jump in the pool. With fabulous names like “Patty Cakes” “Petal Pusher” and “At the Hop,” evoking a feeling of retro-glamour, you have to fight the urge to simply lounge poolside and be seen. And while vintage accents are an impossible to miss theme of the collection, this concept is expertly interwoven with modern techniques and undertones.
Even Betsey Johnson’s take on the black and white look, a dominant theme in 2010, is undeniably flirty. Tops and bottoms are fit with a lovely detailed called “Peek-a-bows,” which involve tiny keyhole cutouts and teeny-weeny bows. The ruffles on “Cheeky Peeky” bottoms up the sexy factor but maintain their perfect amount of coverage- enough to be modest, and enough to be sexy. These are details that are distinctly Betsey Johnson, and the fact they are always executed with the highest quality and attention to detail, is what makes her designs so easy to fall in love with.
