Well London Fashion Week has just finished in the UK and in true designer style the surf giant Billabong has launched its first ever Runway Swimwear Collection.
The fashion-forward swim collection is straight off the Design for Humanity runway, and benefits Water, a charity that brings fresh drinking water to developing nations.
Like the items sold from last autumn’s live LA fashion event, all the proceeds from the four Billabong Runway Swimwear pieces will go towards the organisation charity.
We think you will agree that the designs are pretty edgy compared to Billabong usual safer surf chic, but check out the designs below and make your own mind up.
The Billabong Kayala Swimsuit
Billabong Runway Kayla One Piece Swimsuit for Summer 2010
If you’re planning on partying at swanky poolside bars in L.A. or Vegas this summer, consider the sleek look of The Kayla, a lace one-piece that will surely stand out against the basic string bikinis everyone else is wearing.
This nylon suit is covered in black lace, has removable soft cups and spaghetti string ties.
Features:
- Billabong Design for Humanity Runway Collection
- 100% Nylon
- One piece Billabong women’s swimsuit
- All-over asymmetrical lace
- Soft removable cups
- Spaghetti ties
The Billabong Jordan Swimsuit
Billabong Runway Joardan Tie Die Swimsuit for Summer 2010
The Jordan is a fun, bright, deep v-neck one piece swimsuit that is perfect for more glamorous beach destinations.
Or for dancing around your bedroom in high heels while listening to Lady Gaga.
A bohemian style trimmed with beads and benevolence.
Details include:
- Deep V front trimmed with neon bead fringe,
- All-over tie-dye
- Halter top
- Exposed back
- 80/20 nylon/lycra
The Billabong Aaliyah Swimsuit
Billabong Runway Aaliyah Swimsuit for Summer 2010
The Aaliyah looks like something that you might see on a James Bond film set.
Very sexy, but something about the unique cut-outs in this one piece makes it seem a bit risky to wear at the beach – unless you’re into some wacky tan lines.
Could well be the ideal swimsuit for night time pool parties.
