Summer is almost here, and that means one thing to us girls: bathing season! No need to freak that you can’t put down that gelato, or finally start that exercise routine. What you really need is a fabulous swimsuit, one that shows enough to be sexy, but modest and hip.Let me introduce you to my friend and swimwear designer Suzanna (Suzy) Kuhlemann of 1979.Options other than a skimpy Brazilian are hard to come by these days, especially styles that are fashionable and subtly sexy. For the woman who knows that less can sometimes be more, Suzy created her line of elegantly fashioned one and two-piece swim suits since arriving to Hawaii for her sister’s wedding last January.

Colorful solids, prints, and flirty aloha wear prints make up her current 1979 collection. These are suits that make us forget about tan lines, and our obsession for showing too much skin, which is a good thing.
