Again, there is the trendy one-shoulder-stripe one-piece swimsuit just like the 2008 Gucci one. It is fantastic in cherry red and even better in metallic dark blue. Being a full piece in the front it reveals the graceful back.

High street fashion is the direction the world is going for in 2009. I can see Agyness Deyn wearing Lenny. If you’re an indigo party girl this is a collection you can be heading for, though some pieces of the collection have the more natural safari look to it.

The summer is ought to be hot: go for high street fashion or safari. My suggestion is that roundy busty girls go for safari and skinny long legged beauties do high street. You decide.

Mixing must be on edge. Extended elongated bracelets are excellent addition to any swim suit.

Rio de Janeiro's Fashion week is officially underway. It marks the return of veteran designer Walter Rodrigues. And there's a beach collection from Totem, reminiscent of the 1960's.

Rodrigues is back making party clothes. This is the essential Rodrigues - his claim to fame.

The latest collection, mainly in black, drew inspiration from ancient China and from the late actress Audrey Hepburn.

Rodrigues said his collection was also influenced by abstract artist Mark Rothko. Rothko is best known for contrasting bold colors against tones of gray and black.

Totem's summer/spring collection posed the question "why not?" There were colorful patterns set off by head ornaments consisting of metallic flowers and military helmets. The music of the Beatles and 1960's bossa nova tunes provided the musical background.

Designer Fred d'Orey, said he wanted to capture the tropical essence of Rio in his collection, so he introduced pineapples and bananas over solid colors.
