SHAN Swimwear 2008

Share |

The couture label Shan has awesome swimwear collection, plus bathing wardrobes and lingerie. All swimwear features special prints and beautiful designs. These suits have really bright and hot coloring and the prints are delightful.

They are very elegant and dainty, and remain sexy. The designs of collection are so great, and the colors are astounding. I really love swimsuits that look sexy. Every woman can find her swimsuit in Shan swimwear collection.

Shan designer Chantel Levesque was interviewed by HILARY magazine:

HILARY Magazine:

What type of women wears SHAN? What kind of women do you design SHAN swimwear for?

Chantel Levesque:

The SHAN woman is modern, dynamic, and active yet more elegant than casual. However these qualities can apply to a young woman of 25 as much as a mature woman of 55. Therefore their needs vary. The mature customer, who has had children, more than likely, will want a swimsuit with support or construction. At SHAN, the strength of the collection is that the same sexy swimsuits are always offered with or without support.
I am not interested in the active look of swimwear per say. I design a collection with one philosophy: the art of dressing up in a resort environment. Therefore I create an entire wardrobe starting from the swimsuit, then the cover-ups and the accessories. It becomes a complete wardrobe for the beach or resort.

HILARY Magazine:

Why did you think women would be interested in wearing your swimwear?

Chantel Levesque:

Every season’s collection is an evolution from the previous collections, offering a continuity that the customers seek and adore. In previous years we introduced hand painted graffiti swimsuits to the critical acclaim of retailers and fashion stylists worldwide. The following year our inspiratin come from the greatest artists such as Dali and VanGogh.

I believe that my customers have followed me from the beginning and agree with my evolution. When they buy luxury goods, they expect consistency. They also appreciate the longevity and timeless styling of my collection.

HILARY Magazine:

How do you feel SHAN swimwear stands out from other competing swimwear brands?

Chantel Levesque:

The major difference between SHAN and other swimwear brands is that we offer a complete collection at many levels: structure, hand finish, and revolutionary fabrics.

All of the above are offered in every new SHAN collection, whereas other swimwear brands will mainly focus on one of the above mentioned. We offer a cutting edge image with top-quality production and finish.

The customer has the final say, and what they absolutely love about SHAN is that our 2 piece swimsuits are sold as separates. They can mix and match, choose a different size from top to bottom. They have the opportunity to buy their swimsuits according to their own specific needs and by doing so they are creating their own personalized swimsuit.

I fond beautiful swimwear by Shan. Enjoy!
