L*Space by Monica
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.

Welcome To Miami (Fashion Week)
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. We're thinking that if the looks that hit the catwalk are any indication, you'll be needing some itsy bikinis, huge platforms and an optional dose of disco gold.

Raunchy Calvin Klein Billboard Replaced

Which do you prefer best?

Giles Deacon's Swimwear Line Hits Stores
The past few months have really horrible for Giles Deacon. I mean, who would want to lounge around exclusive pools in L.A. observing beautiful women and end the day calling that a hard day's work? 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."
What do you think about Deacon's swimsuit?

Rio Fashion Week in Photos
We know Brazilian fashion means more than swimsuits, but that's mostly what models showed off at the Salinas runway show this Rio Fashion Week. If we're judging catwalk "trends" already, you apparently should wear multiple hats (bonnets?) with your bathing attire of choice.
