Top 4 ladies swimwear trends to help you sizzle this summer

With the sun well and truly out, and the skies blessedly blue, it’s time to delve right into the summer’s festivities in your best seasonal swimsuits. And with these four hot ladies swimwear trends to choose from, you’ll be guaranteed to draw eyeballs whether you’re tanning on the beach, sipping champagne on a yacht, or taking that long-awaited resort getaway.

Revamped one-piece ladies swimwear star in Eres' ladies swimwear collection

One-piece wonder

There was a time when one-piece swimsuits were consigned to the wardrobes of matronly schoolmarms, but these once-dowdy pieces have experienced something of a renaissance to emerge as one of the summer’s most popular ladies swimwear trends. With cutouts, plunging necklines and intricate back-ties, these sensuous items are sure to set tongues wagging.

Ladies swimwear from Tori Burch features bold colours

Rainbow delight

There’s no better time to show off a bit of your inner brazenness than in the heat of the summer. From florescent pinks and radiant reds to turquoise hues, pick your favourite colour without hesitation. Or better yet, mix and match for an even bigger wow factor.

Emporio Armani brings back athletic ladies swimwear

Athletic accoutrement

Sporty fashion is back in a big way this summer, with athletic ladies swimwear making an unexpected return to grace. Forgoing the frills of perhaps more figure-flattering cuts, these pieces are unabashedly utilitarian and no-nonsense, perfect for your surfing, sailing or swimming needs.

Understated elegance dominates Vilebrequin's ladies swimwear

Earthy subtlety

If bright colours and wantonly outré patterns aren’t quite your thing, fear not. Earthy colours and subtle geometric designs are not to be overlooked, and might serve to actually enhance your innate style. Our tip? Choose the right accessories to match your understated look.

Shawn Mendes headlines Connected Smartwatch launch in Tokyo

One look at the hordes of screaming teenage fans standing outside Emporio Armani’s Aoyama, Tokyo boutique last week and one might have assumed that a pop star was inside. And that guess would be absolutely correct. Canadian singer Shawn Mendes was actually on site promoting the Italian label’s newest gadget: the Connected Smartwatch.

Mendes, who was tapped as brand ambassador for the hi-tech gadget, proudly showed off his timepiece at a live press conference in the store before rubbing elbows with local celebrities and mingling with his fans.

Emporio Armani’s Connected Smartwatch doesn’t just blend new technology with the brand’s signature style, it also emphasises flexibility and usability. Compatible with both Android and iOS phones, its Saved Faces app allows wearers to choose from eight different face designs to be matched with one of 11 strap options. The watch is now available at https://www.armani.com/ as well as select stores worldwide.

Famous fans celebrate Emporio Armani’s new Fall/Winter 2017 line

Emporio Armani celebrated its new Fall/Winter 2017 Collection with an exclusive cocktail party at its Canton Road flagship store.

Brand ambassador and Chinese sensation Hu Ge – whose face is splashed across Emporio Armani ads all over town – was the star of the show in a dapper double-breasted evening jacket over a white mandarin collar shirt from the new men’s line.

The private event also attracted local celebrities and socialites including actress and singer Kelly Chen, actress Cherry Ngan, Adam Pak, Jason Wu, Angie Ng, Faye Tsui, and more. Many were spotted eagerly browsing through the displayed selection.

Interactive hi-tech digital gadgetry kept guests entertained and gave the evening a futuristic vibe as they dabbled with an augmented reality game app and posed at the 3D photo booth.
