“For the '09 Jantzen collection, I was inspired by the glamour days of the 1950s, its Hollywood starlets and the timeless styles of this iconic fashion decade. The collection represents the juxtaposition of classic vintage with a modern interpretation of swimwear. Silhouettes include retro inspired maillots to ultra high waisted belted bottoms with tiny bandeau tops to ruffled corset-like tankinis. Complemented by fabulous coordinating cover-ups, Jantzen offers a complete swimwear collection. The signature Jantzen red Vamp continues as a staple suit, yet evolves into a two piece. We are expanding into three different color stories this season: a tropical feeling resort delivery, a black and white ultra sophisticated delivery and a bright summer delivery, all with bold, exciting prints inspired by the Jantzen archives. The new Jantzen line pays homage to our illustrious heritage and signifies the true meaning of "what's old is new again."
