Sauvage 2008: Let the Beach be Your Runway
Written by Yvette N. Coleman

Designer Elizabeth Southwood brings to swimwear the sexier side of beach style. She designs the suit that will have others stopping in their tracks to see “who is that?”

The sophisticated aesthetics that she has given her Sauvage swim collection afford her a loyal following that looks forward to her sleek fashion forward designs.

This season Sauvage offers a variety of glamour and show stopping beach styles including: the glittering mirrored "Millenium" group, the high gloss metallic of the "Future Shock" group, the sophisticated oversize pearl studded "Pearls" group and much more! Known for a superior fit and coverage, the collection can be paired with high cut bottoms, sexy string bottoms, shorts, or you can wear Sauvage’s ultra chic one piece with the matching cover-ups and dresses.

Go for the LUXE collection and experience your wild side with prints from the "Jungle," "Zebra," "Safari" and "Leopard/Python," group. Expect beaded, jeweled and sequined styles which can be worn with jeans and strappy heels for the evening! And for the men there is Sauvage Mens, which features European prints in California Cool Board Shorts and Beach shorts.

What do you think are the biggest trends in swimwear for spring ‘08?
Jewel tones will continue to be strong, as are Swarovski crystal embellished prints. Summer ‘08 and cruise ‘08 will see bright colorful florals dominate, subtle metallic textures - color everywhere!

What trends must go?
Halters - enough already! And baby Hawaiian prints

The unique collection is entirely made in the USA and now has its very own flagship store! It is located at 1025 Prospect Street, La Jolla and features the complete collections of designer Elizabeth Southwood - Sauvage , Luxe by Sauvage , and a limited collection of Sauvage Mens swimwear. The store is not like any other with chic luxurious dressing rooms, comfortable seating areas, and weekly fashion shows to show off the latest swimwear trends!

Sauvage is pleased to also promote t-shirts to benefit the Surf rider foundation’s Project Blue, an initiative that helps to keep our oceans beautiful -- kudos!

The collection can be purchased at better swim stores, including Everything But Water - nationwide, Atlanta Beach – Atlanta Calypso - New York , and now at the flagship store La Jolla.
