Auria x Margot Bowman Swimwear collaboration SS13: Photoshoot: Designer: Auria x Margot Bowman Photographer: Jarek Kotomski Stylists: Aaron Francis Walker and India Trusselle Model: Claire Birkholz (Storm models) Hair: Hiroshi Matsushita Make up: Liz Martins Nails: Boom Nails Debut collection from London designer âAuriaâ (Diana Auria Harris). Presenting to you her dynamic, modern and luxury swimwear line in collaboration with illustrator Margot Bowman. The collection is a juxtaposition of many elements. It pulls inspirations from 80âs postmodern fashion with the use of PVC and retro swimwear silhouettes including the high leg line. This is combined with cut-out sections inspired by the clean and geometric shapes of the Bauhaus movement. The prints reference symbols and iconography that are associated with Ancient Greek mythology, focusing on Artemis- the âGoddess of Huntâ. These are twisted into contemporary and whimsical pop graphics by Margot Bowman which create a fun and kitsch aesthetic. The collection uses sprightly brights mixed with pastels intwining hombre and block colour combinations. The shapes combined with the prints gives the collection an overall sexy and playful edge. Along with all the factors that create this collection visually, it is underpinned by ethical elements. The swimwear is made from a new generation fabric that can ensure the best technical performance with maximum respect for the environment. The Econyl 100% recycled hallow polyamide is made from discarded products such as fishing nets, voile and old carpets.
