Poko Pano 2011 Collection
Friday, November 12th, 2010
The weather is truly miserable this time of the year in Ireland so we thought we’d show you something to cheer you up a bit. Swimwear designer Poko Pano have just released snapshots of their 2011 swimwear collection to give you an idea of where the brand and fashion trends are going for next season.
Among the lineup of new products are halter bikinis, bandeau bikini’s and one-piece swimsuits. Keeping in line with the Poko Pano design we’re seeing more luxury materials being used. Poko Pano likes to mix patterns with block colours for a twist and the use of pattern is prominent in their new pieces. The brazilian company also tend to mix-and-match pieces, putting a striped bikini top with a highly patterned bottom for some contrast.
A firm favourite on our site, we’re looking forward to seeing more of the pieces from the designer.
Note: these images can be viewed on the Poko Pano facebook page. You can also join TheBikiniShop on Facebook too for news and updates!

Georgia Salpa Models our Moontide Bikini.
Monday, July 5th, 2010The gorgeous Georgia Salpa has been featured in The Irish Sun and The Star wearing pieces from our Fusion Range.
The Fusion range is part of our ever popular Moontide designer swimwear collection. A strong favourite with our customers as it allows the choice of separate tops and bottoms at different sizes, as not everyone is the same sizing for top and bottoms.
Georgia is helping support Dublin’s 98FM DJ Steven Cooper as he takes to America’s famous Route 66 on a Honda bike to raise funds for Temple Street Children’s Hospital.
Wishing him all the best on his voyage from The BikiniShop.ie

Swimwear Summer Trends
Friday, April 9th, 2010Trends this summer emerging from Miami Fashion Week are set to revolve around several key features:
The one- shoulder bikini is a major look this summer, giving a twist on the traditional one-piece swimsuit and halterneck lines.
Cut-away trends from the high-street have filtered into the swimwear ranges and most designers are offering cut away versions of the monokini and bikini.
The one-piece (all in one) swimsuit and tankini are also seeing a rise in popularity, with the updated designs using vivid colours such as fuschia, emerald green, purple, and sapphire blue. Animal and tribal patterns also feature heavily on swimwear.
The high street feminine tones also filtered its way into swimwear designs so expect to see ruffles, floral patterns, beading and sequins on bikinis this summer.

Caprice to be the new Judge on Style Wars
Thursday, March 4th, 2010We’re delighted to announce that one of our favorite designers, supermodel Caprice, will be the new judge on TV3′s Style Wars.
Supermodel turned business woman, Caprice is the perfect Judge for the series. She knows the fashion business inside and out – from the front of the camera right down the business end. Her opinions and criticisms will be a big boost to any aspiring designer. She’s done it all, had the good times and even faced the bad times, with the economic problems of last year some major strain on the business. Luckily the Caprice Swimwear range for this year has been a huge success and once again she’s back on top of the game.
The series is due to air on June 1. No doubt as Caprice spends more time hanging out her in Ireland, she’ll be telling us all the new exciting inside stories. We’ll share what we can with you here.
