Some stylish new swimwear hits local shores

Singapore has no shortage of talented fashion designers, but swimwear designers? K. Blu Swim, a new local label founded by avid sailor lyn Rosmarin, is designed to fit a more petite (read: Asian) physique. Bathing suits are made with Italian fabrics, and the first collection features standout graphic prints and sexy cut-outs ($85 upwards). There’s more chic swimwear at Bimba Y Lola. The Spanish label is also launching its first collection of bold tattoo-printed bikinis and one-pieces ($165 upwards). There’s one good thing about having this weather all year round.
