Launch

We are very excited to officially launch the first swimwear line on our site. Peixoto swim & resort wear is for women of all ages who like to look and feel sophisticated chic! When we met with Peixoto designer, Mauricio we just knew we needed to have his gorgeous bathing suits. Ladies you will LOVE the fit and style! We promise you! Here’s some insight into Mauricio Esquenazi’s line and what motivated him to be a swim designer.

1. When did you decide you wanted to be a designer?

“I’ve always had it in me because the fashion industry has been in my family since I can remember, but it was not until a few years ago  that I found myself wanting to learn everything about the industry.”

2. Which designer(s) do you feel has influenced you in your career and work?

“Family ties and values, combined with extensive travels have influenced and helped me develop the sophisticated aesthetics and looks of Peixoto.”

3. What made you want to design bathing suits?

“I felt that women were not happy with their swimsuits, the bottoms were either too big or too small, too tight or too loose. I also noticed that there was not a swimsuit out there that my girlfriend would be able to wear around my family – a swimsuit in which she felt comfortable and sexy, that my parents would not judge for being too revealing, and that I would like how she looked.

Additionally, women often struggle to find the ideal swimsuit that properly fits their bodies and enhances their look while exuding youth and beauty. The age of the skimpy young bikini has passed and no one will ever be ready for mature-aged swimsuits. Peixoto offers women a swimsuit that will let them feel sexy, sophisticated and comfortable in their own skin.”

4. In three words how would you describe your designs?

“Sophisticated, Sexy, Timeless.”

5. Do your designs reflect your personal style? if, so how so?

“Peixoto definitely reflects my personal style and you will see once you get to know me. Less is More!”

6. Do you have a certain type of woman in mind when you’re creating/designing a collection?

“Peixoto is made for all types of women, but when designing, I am thinking about today’s elegant and sophisticated women who turn heads because of how they carry themselves. The Peixoto woman seduces through mystery, sophistication and elegance, without giving it all away at first glance.”

7. What can we expect for your upcoming line and when will it be available?

“The next line will be Summer 2013 and I can say that it will be more feminine and elegant. We will also be seeing a few of our signature styles back in new colors, prints and combinations. For example, Tito, Bella and Amore Puro will be reintroduced.”

LOS ANGELES — GenArt, the 16-year-old fashion and art organization that closed its New York-based operations in May, has relaunched under a new owner and new leadership.

“The company, founded by Ian and Stefan Gerard, was acquired in late December by Boca Raton, Fla.-based Sandow Media, which publishes New Beauty, Luxe Interiors + Design, Worth, Watch Journal and 944, among other niche titles. GenArt is the company’s first nonprint property and the first to be launched under Sandow’s experiential marketing division, AccessLab.” reports Marcy Medina from WWD.

Expect to see Fresh Faces in Fashion Events, which launched many fashion designer careers. GenArt’s first event will take place in New York June 8 to 14.
