Launched in 2008, the Bellinski bikini collections were founded by Annabel Hume.
Inspired by her many trips abroad and a desire to obtain chic, affordable swimwear, Annabel set about creating her first Bellinski bikini range. Having achieved a diploma in Art & Design from London College of Fashion and completing a swimwear design course at Central St Martin’s College of Art & Design, she decided to pursue her vision.
Labelled after Annabel’s favourite champagne cocktail, the range of bikinis is a seductive and unique debut collection from the budding designer that effortlessly captures the spirit of glamorous beach holidays on Europe’s Southern coasts and beyond.
The elegantly-cut bikinis feature a selection of warm and beautiful hues, from a mouth-watering aqua to revitalizing coral, as well unique gold detailing that brings a touch of creative flair, and individuality, to each and every bikini.
The bikinis names are reminiscent of the designer’s surroundings, inspirations and icons and incorporate only the finest and most durable Brazilian fabrics. Choose from the effortlessly stylish ‘Bardot’ bandeau bikini that incorporates the unique Bellinski logo or make every head turn in the ‘Biarritz’ string bikini that features elegant gold beads.
The range has all been carefully hand-designed allowing you to intermix throughout the collection, enabling you to create your very own Bellinski bikini to suit which ever style, or shape, you desire.
Launching for SS08, Bellinski bikinis are bound to seduce you, whether it be sipping cocktails by the pool, partying on a yacht or simply lying on the beach.
Bellinski bikinis, available exclusively at Harrods (from end of June 08) as well as online at www.bellinski.com
