This Summer, everyone will be seeing spots as lead designers such as Dolce & Gabbana, Norma Kamali, Calvin Klein and Kenneth Cole are making a splash with their animal print inspired swim suits.
Animal prints have the ability to add a twist of 'wild' to even the most conservative cut swimwear and is a welcomed break from the conventional beachy bright color patterns we've become so accustomed to.
Norma Kamali's collection is off the hook!...
You may find it to your surprise to know that this pattern is quite vintage and has been worn by many lovelies of the past...
Elizabeth Taylor...Bettie Page...

Dame Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor...known to the world as Liz Taylor, passed away this morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles California.In spite of her wealth, fame and star status, she had a lifetime of ill health, failed romances and personal tragedies through which she always remained consistent in maintaining an air of grace and dignity...
Not only was she a two time Academy Award Winner, she was also a devout humanitarian and dedicated AIDS fundraiser who helped start The American Foundation For AIDS Research.
Her 1st major screen role was in the 1950 film 'A Place In The Sun' opposite Montgomery Clift but it wasn't until thirteen years later that her rise to fame began to take off, as her role in the 1963 movie Cleopatra opposite soon to be husband Richard Burton sealed her spot in the ranks of Hollywood movie starlet status.
As a Fashion Icon, Elizabeth Taylor had the ability to turn simple into sexy with her ability to make mundane clothing seem magnificent with accessories. She quoted "Enough is never enough" in describing her personal style. She was such a force to be reckoned with, so much so that she made the simple white slip she wore in the 1960's film 'Butterfied 8' seem like a haute couture dress!
In 1989 she said..."I think I'm becoming fantalistic...too much has happened in my life for me not to be fantalistic." And that she was...completely and utterly fantalistic as she leaves us with her legacy of strength & beauty.
Elizabeth Taylor ~ February 27th 1932 - March 23rd 2011
The beautiful Elizabeth Taylor just recently turned 79 this past February and has been in the news over the past several weeks for being hospitalized for congestive heart failure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. She remains stable and there are no new developments in her condition.
Award winning two time Oscar recipient Taylor defined herself as one of the most influential style icons of the 20th century with her stunning face, violet-blue eyes and the trademark beauty mark on her chin. She was never afraid of playing up her bold eyebrows and that became a trend among women everywhere.
She has influenced film fashion for over five decades and became famous not only for her acting talents but for her style choices in clothes and jewelry. Since she was a teen she has been intriguing us with her sass and sex appeal.
