It doesn’t matter if you find yourself in Darwin or Dubai- sitting poolside calls for an uber-sexy attitude with swim attire to match. JETS, By Jessika Allen’s latest collection “Le Grand Tour” displays elegant swimwear to match the most glamorous locations in the world.

Picture the typical “dream holiday” on the French Riviera or The Greek Islands; the type of swimwear that comes to mind is exactly the specialty of the JETS collection. Laced with vintage allure, all the one pieces and bikinis featured in “Le Grand Tour” are clearly in a class that is yards above anything that would be found in an everyday surf shop. The sophisticated shaping of the classic-printed fabric makes the wearer look as though they are straight from the pages of Harper’s Bazaar.

“Le Grand Tour” is not the only collection that the Australian designer has launched out to the world this year.

“White Label” is a slightly smaller collection which really ups the ante on the glamorous image of the JETS brand. The one-pieces in the collection share their name tags with the princesses of the classical ballet stories. This concept fits perfectly with what appears in the “White Label” collection; The cuts are sleek-fitting and the fabric details give a sweet, balletic look.

Both JETS collections: “Le Grand Tour” and “White Label” have had sass and class stitched into every seam, bringing the term “beach babe” to a new height of glamour.

Gideon Oberson 2008 Swimwear Collection

The artist is Gideon Oberson. His one-piece swimsuits are nothing less than stunning works of art and are being exhibited on women all around the world. With this in mind, Oberson regards each of his creations as a three-dimensional object. Music, dance even architecture all lend a hand in his creative process. The result is gorgeous swimwear that is dazzling to gaze upon and still practical for active women to wear. Lucky for us because after all, this is art that will ultimately be put into motion.

Born in Italy and schooled for design in France, Oberson has been based in Israel for many years. He has been designing swimwear since 1976, first under his own label, and for the Gottex label since 2003. He has an amorous international following.
