Swimsuit season is here!! For sweltering heat the best cure is an itty bitty, teeny weeny yellow polka-dot bikini. Okay, so L*SPace may not have that one but their fringe halter in a lovely shade of sunshine is even better.

This summer is all about soft and vibrant pink, blue, yellow, orange, red, to name a few, and the classic neutrals: black, white, and nude. We saw large pastel stripes from Mulberry, cornflower blue at Vera Wang, and muted nudes from McQueen.

When creative director and lead designer of L*Space, Monica Wise created her collection, she knew exactly what this fashion forecast was going to bring . These gorgeous pieces have stylish silhouettes and are made from luxurious fabrics. The modern lines and fashion-forward designs showcase more than just a swimsuit but a staple in your summer wardrobe.

Monica says she finds her inspiration both along the Southern California coast and every faraway beach paradise she visits. She also finds inspiration from the decades of designers before her, who paved the way in women’s swimwear ­– especially those in the 1960’s, who produced mod, trendsetting, timeless fashions.

Described as sophisticated beach chic, glam surfer girl, and most definitely fashion-forward swimwear, L*Space is an award-winning brand, having been recognized as SIMA’s (Surfwear Industry Manufacturer’s Association) swimwear brand of the year, as well as Monica herself being recognized as the 2010 Mercedes Benz designer of the year. From her Corona del Mar beach bungalow, Monica continues to be inspired, continues to enjoy her beach lifestyle, and continues to create.
