I just recently discovered Norma Kamali and her incredible retro-inspired swimwear! I adore the vintage styling and lovely, lovely details of gathers, rusches and ruffles. Norma Kamali has taken "retro" well beyond the normal pinup styling and has gone Vogue-cover glam with her beautiful pieces - her designs are sexy, classic and simply beautiful, filled with 1940s glamour.

What a great post! Real bathing suits for real women! I'm loving the vintage look, they're all so lovely...thanks for sharing.
Wow! I love these! Great blog, btw:)
Do you mean to say there is hope for my body to see the sand and surf this summer?
I wrote about you today.
These are all so much fun and the one with the sheer overlay is simply elegant. & gotta love those hair dos!
aww! for my birthday I'm having a swim & grill party and I really want a new bathing suit. Most of these would be perfect however not perfect for my budget.
Love this post! ...And I love the swimsuits of course...I really can't choose my favorite, I'm wanting almost all of them!
Fabulous post!
I just did a feature on Norma Kamali on . I love how you put it... "Norma Kamali has taken 'retro' well beyond the normal pinup styling and has gone Vogue-cover glam with her beautiful pieces..."
I love discovering new designers, and you've definitely turned me on to a few new names! :)
Thanks girls. Hope you lovely girls can find something to feel beautiful in on the beach.
Love, Betsy.
I love vintage/retro swimsuits! They are all great, too bad it's almost impossible to find designs like these in japan :(
