The latest round of bathing suits from Miami Fashion Week Swim, which both Whitney Port and Selita Ebanks have been keeping up with, brings a few points of interest. Besides the obvious drawing point of cute bikinis (hello, L*Space and Crystal Jin!), we have Bret Michaels-style headbands, the introduction of toile to swimwear, shiny gold tights under some suits and, er, light bondage references.

All this in just a day? You're keeping us interested, Miami.

Haven't picked a swimsuit for this summer yet? Don't worry, because the Caffe Swimwear runway show from Miami Fashion Week should leave you with plenty of ideas.

Swimwear model Jessica White has opened up about her abused past. While out celebrating her 25th birthday this week, the model told press that she is in the process of finishing off her first novel, which draws on elements of her past.

The novel is based around a sexually abused young girl, the model reveals. "I am all about empowering women to bounce back from being abused, because I was abused when I was younger," she says.

Hopefully the novel will encourage discussion and awareness about the issue.

White is already in talks with producers to turn the story into a screenplay, in which she plans to play herself.

Well that's exactly what lucky Deacon has been up to recently, as he prepared for the launch of his new swimwear line at New Look, which launches today.

"It was all designed while on a research trip to Los Angeles - by the pool at the Chateau Marmont," Deacon told Vogue.com. "For me it's not so much Eighties-inspired but more a mix of clean lines and graphic boldness with a touch of playfulness."

Designer Charlotte Ronson has been getting more than the expected share of tabloid press lately (namely, due to the teensy incident of disallowing Lindsay Lohan into her JC Penney party), but surely that buzz can only help her swimwear line. Collaborating with longtime friend Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss, she's launched a collection of bathing suits and bikinis called Shoshanna Made With Love Charlotte Ronson.

Pieces sell for $60 to $140 in the US, at Bloomingdale's and Saks Fifth Avenue, but Shopbop.com sell internationally. You can shop the collection after the jump.

Whatever Jessica Simpson is perplexed/worried/angry about, it's not the success of her swimwear line. Miss USA contestants will wear white Jessica Simpson Collection string bikinis on Sunday night, and they've already posed for a photo shoot in green versions. When asked why the pageant chose the singer's bathing suits, programme publicist Lark-Marie Anton only responded, "Why not?"
