However, under the new awakening and in the spirit of new-age feminism, women have and are reclaiming, redefining beauty terms and standards forced upon them. Steps to throw out the patriarchy are well underway, with movements such as ‘Body Positivity’ that centre acceptance and foster self-love.

There’s no such thing as the perfect summer body.

Instead, the key is to embrace the body you have as it’s working and functioning just as it should. Taking back the power is the next step. This is done by challenging yourself to wear swimwear that you wouldn’t otherwise.

Below are key factors to look out for when choosing your perfect look, from no other than CALZEDONIA; the go-to spot for all things swim and beachwear.

Colour

No better time to experiment with colour; as bold or subtle as you want, either way, a statement is made. Whether pastel tones or zesty orange this season’s got you.

Print

Patterns are always in when it comes to swimwear, and the perfect choice is down to taste. From paisley, cheetah to tropical or floral, it’s all about which best represents your personality.

Texture

Surface texture is trendy and adds another dimension to simpler looks. They can be scaled up or down in ruching, grooves, or frills, to name a few.

Silhouette

This is where personal preference holds. The classic two-piece bikini is always a winner but to branch out; cut out swimsuit is an easy way to try something new. Also keeping to a similar tried and true silhouette; the cut-out creates a two-piece illusion, much like a bikini.
Triangle, bandeau, and wrap are classic shapes that never go out of fashion.

Accessories

Lastly accessories make or break an outfit, and swimwear is no exception. Sarongs, kaftans, and dresses all help to complete the look and add the finishing touches.

Now there’s no excuse to not have your summer body ready.

3.PARADIS INTRODUCES ITS FIRST MONOGRAM

3.PARADIS’ Creative Director Emeric Tchatchoua releases the brand’s Spring-Summer 2021 campaign. To celebrate the launch of their new seasonal collection this Spring, photographed by long-time collaborator Rashidi Noah.

Spring-Summer 2021

Titled “From Paradis With Love” the Spring/Summer collection marks the introduction of 3.PARADIS’ Le Noeud Infini monogram print furthering their philosophy of interconnection, unity and togetherness through interlocking initials with contrast numerals.

The ideal time for us since our fashion team was talking about buying gloves to showcase the latest sneakers in our online shop. This year we want to buy more black fashion.

Tchatchoua said, “We were trying to create a new symbol, a recognizable graphic motif that would embody the spirit of 3.PARADIS and be at the heart of our visual language. The idea was to create a timeless, yet chic, disruptive and poetic monogram that could be reinterpreted and revisited over the years.”

As a result, the new monogram appears all over a double-breasted pea coat, a short sleeve shirt, workwear shirts, shorts, trousers, hats, nano bags, and more, including a stuffed teddy bear. There’s a black option with an “Anthracite” monogram on it, or a “Beige/Sand” look that incorporates a hint of “Teal” in the 3 that interlinks with the P on the design.

Le Noeud Infini translates as The Eternal Knot, a name stemming from Buddhist belief in the interaction of unity and dependence manifest through their union and ultimately harmony in the universe. The graphic pattern representative of the values and ideals advocated and held by 3.PARADIS is now at the heart of 3.PARADIS’ visual language.

The brand is following in the footsteps of many older luxury brands in how to push the envelope and get your name out there. By using the power of its logo. What do you think? Will you buy black this year too? Shop now on 3.PARADIS’ website.
