EMERGING GLOBAL DESIGNERS

BYRON MINI DRESS

Mikoh Swimwear, by sisters Oleema and Kalani Miller, is made with a radiant beauty. Perhaps this is due to their upbringing on the beaches of San Clemente, California or their combined interests of fashion, visual art, painting, and travel. But whatever the secret ingredient is, these Cali natives have it and make swimwear that looks gorgeous and fits perfectly. Gathering inspiration from the many tropical paradises the Millers have visited, Mikoh Swimwear incorporates various beach cultures and environments into the designs, colors, and materials that form refined yet elegant one pieces and bikinis.

Simple lines and well-placed, discreet details form a bold visual impact and whether you get a one-piece or a bikini, the cuts are made to fit well for a stroll along the beach or a swim in the waves. The 2011 Collection contains playful variations on the bandeau top with a tailored deep v and multiple strings that cross and overlap to make geometric, sun ray designs along the back. The traditional triangle bikinis and one pieces are given more sophistication with precise pleating. Sizes range from XS to XL (32A-36D for tops and 34”-42”+ for bottoms) and prices for a complete bikini or a one piece is around $190. You can purchase Mikoh Swimwear on their website where you can also get a complete list of retailers from around the world. http://mikohswimwear.com
