MIKOH X GOLDFISH KISS

It’s no secret that 1) Mikoh is one of the sweetest lines around and 2) I am a huge fan. This year’s line, L’esprit Libre, does not disappoint, in fact it manages to raise the bar in swimwear coolness.

Each piece is simple, seamless, but has unique details that only Mikoh can claim. Example: please see the strappy yet sleek racerback Kona top, or the uber cool Monaco / Todos Santos combo ( I’d bet you could even surf in that bandeau top…in small waves). Bold jewel tones and exotic signature prints put the final stamp of sweetness on this year’s line.

Sisters Oleema and Kalani Miller continue to use their travels as inspiration for the line (I’d love to see their passport stamps), and their research has definitely paid off. I am convinced you could wear any piece, at any beach worldwide, and be the most stylin’ and appropriately clad gal around.

Gosh, I love this line.

Pick up a piece of the sweetness at Sirene, Shopbop, and soon at mikohswimwear.com.

The Celebrated Artist Reveals the Unexpected Magic of Shooting his Butterfly Film For Edun

Six species of African butterflies flutter about the tattooed torso of Bradley Soileau and the candy floss-colored hair of Charlotte Free in artist Ryan McGinley’s dynamic video portraits for Edun’s Spring 2012 campaign. Set to the soulful gospel of “If I Had A Little Love” by the Majestic Arrows, McGinley’s playful scenes of butterflies decorating the fingers, shoulders and cheekbones of a luminous cast of young models are punctuated with key pieces from the collection, such as a hand-crocheted pair of shorts or a laser-cut blouse. “I was interested in how the body could reveal the butterfly,” explains McGinley, “how it could fly out of the models’ mouths, hands or pants in its unfurling glory.” With Creative Director Sharon Wauchob preparing to send her fourth collection for Edun down the New York runway, the fashion house is establishing itself as an important voice in contemporary design. Founded by Ali Hewson and Bono in 2005, the brand’s commitment to sustainable fashion through trade and community building initiatives in countries including Uganda, Kenya and Nairobi is an inspiration for the fashion industry on the positive change it can make. Here McGinley speaks to NOWNESS about casting butterflies and other free spirits for Edun’s debut advertising campaign.
