The ongoing success of CeaSwim shows Adams made the right decision. And while she appreciates the media attention brought on by celebrities wearing her line, she is confident that the swimwear itself is what drives her business. “A lot of companies do separates nowadays, where you can mix and match styles and prints and sizes,” she says. “But we really concentrate on fit, and we get feedback again and again that the fit of our suits is amazing.”
The opposite rule applies to small-chested women, who often think that wearing a teensy triangle top will give the illusion of a larger bust. Here, Adams recommends choosing a style that offers more coverage (and storage space for removable padding). Her suggestions include elongated halter styles with a tied or beaded centre that helps amplify the bust. CeaSwim tops ($45), bottoms ($45), and one-piece suits ($90) are available at Liquid Clothing (2050 West 4th Avenue), the Block (350 West Cordova Street), North Shore Girl
This story tells the truth about the fashion model turned bikini fashion designer.
As for trends this season, “I’m really into vintage flowers, like tablecloths and wallpaper from the early 1900s,” she says. “I’m also really into solids–pink is my favorite color, and brown looks good on everybody.” Eventually, she hopes to develop her own fabrics and prints and move into the European market, starting with the U.K.
