MARISA IS WEARING THE MALDIVES TOP AND LANAI BOTTOM
I’m very excited to announce the launch of my Stand Up Paddle board line with SurfTech, it’s finally here! I wanted to design a board that fit a woman’s body better than current boards available and that was light enough for women to carry on their own.
The boards officially launch late August, then will be available in major retailers nationwide or you can pre-order now on www.surftech.com/marisamiller
Here’s some photos from this morning at Malibu.
Much love,
xoxoMarisa

EMERGING GLOBAL DESIGNERS X MIKOH
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

THE HAUTE GOSSIP X MIKOH
BFF and sister duo Kalani Miller and Oleema Miller grew up with an OC surf lifestyle. Following many years of surfing for Roxy, it was no surprise that these career minded girls wanted more. Traveling at such a young age was a huge contributor as an inspiration for their line. Their pieces speak to the athletic and active, yet fashionable, confident and sexy 15-25 year old looking to stand out without being over the top. The 2011 Collection includes bold and colorful prints with very flattering cuts in a range of styles suitable for just about anyone!
“We design for ourselves. It’s too hard to follow trends.”
In her spare time, Oleema enjoys working (gotta love what you do!), surfing (of course!), being outside, pilates and spending time with her pomeranian named Panda. Her fave designers are Isabel Marant, DVF and Ever and she simply can’t do without her Salt Optics Sunglasses and Missoni beach towels. Kalani is a huge fan of Australian designers and like her sister, she loves surfing, the beach and the great outdoors. Her must haves are her Quiksilver sunglasses, kindle and a pair of converse.
After 2 years of hard work, the Miller sisters aren’t slowing down anytime soon! They recently showed at MBFW Miami Swim for their 3rd season and debuting a new collection in October.
See below for collection picks from the girls and why celebs such as Kim Kardashian, Cameron Diaz and LeAnn Rhimes are Mikoh Swim fans!

CALIFORNIA APPAREL NEWS X MIKOH | SALON ALLURE
Salon Allure, which ran July 16–19 at Miami’s W Hotel, proved to be a writing show.
“I’ve heard that buyers seem to be buying earlier, and we’ve had better paper written at both of our shows than these same designers had in years past,” said Rick Fatzinger, co-founder of Salon Allure.
He said general registration before the show last year was 150 to 175 exhibitors. This year it was 250.
“It’s been almost all buying,” said Oleema Miller, co-founder ofMikoh swimwear, based in San Clemente, Calif. “Eighty or 90 percent [of our buyers] are actually writing orders.”
Miller and her sister, Kalani, both former Roxy surf-team surfers, launched the brand three years ago and said their surfing background gave them an advantage in designing swimwear. “When you’re designing it and wearing it, then you really know what works and what doesn’t,” Oleema said.
