Great cover-up
Swimsuits getting more conservative, less revealing
c. 1984 N.Y. Times News Service NEW YORK Like the other segments of the fashion business, the swimwear industry deserves its time jn the sun. Last week it positively basked during the showings of the swimwear and cruise collections, which proved not only that swimwear people like their shows big and brassy but also that designers of bathing suits can still come up with something new under the sun. Christie Brinkley presented her first collection at a club called Visage, where there was pounding disco music, a black vinyl stage, trays of drinks and a phalanx of photographers, most of them focused on Miss Brinkley. Michaele Vollbracht offered his designs at Chippendale s in a display complete with that establishment’s seminude dancing men and rolling eyes. The Gottex show looked as if it had been lifted intact from a second-string Las Vegas hotel. If, during those spectacles, the eye sought relief from all the revealing bathing suits with cutout sides and leg openings up to the waist, it was rewarded. For while there is still life in the trend begun several years ago by Norma Kamali to one-piece suits shaped like Playboy bunnies’ uniforms, women’s suits are becoming not only more conservative but also more reflective of current fashion. “The bathing suit industry hasn’t been fashion-conscious in years,” said Julio, whose new collection is one of the most innovative in the market. “But now all the cliches are going, and those supervixen legs look more vulgar than ever.” As Miss Brinkley put it: "You’ll never find a seashell on one of my suits.” Indeed, what is happening is that the newest suits are getting larger. Even a little nostalgic. Greater coverage, especially in classic onepiece suits or maillots, is more prevalent and looks better than ever. In contrast, two-piece suits or bikinis, introduced in Paris in 1946 by Jacques Heim, are beginning to look oldfashioned. The most successful variations on the classic maillot were made by Julio, Anne Cole, Giorgio Sant’Angelo and Christie Brinkley, who has been assisted in her work by Monika Tilley, the Coty Award-winning swimwear designer. All their suits will be in the stores in October. Perhaps no designer proved himself

A new type of swimsuit, made of plastic, is displayed by a model in New York recently. The suit reduces drag, does not absorb water and, according to designer Jerry Greenberg, reduces racing time by about one second in a 100yard race. And that's not to mention its snug fit. (AP Wirephoto). more innovative than Julio. His colors are electric: bright turquoise, yellow and orange. There are Pop Art patterns of rainbow arcs and squiggles. His terry cover-ups, as after-swim jackets are called, have enormous covered buttons as a sendup of the couture. Working within the classic maillot vocabulary, Julio has taken the onepiece and cut it in two The suit can then be worn either with the bottom part pulled up to the top, so that it simulates a one-piece, or with the bottom rolled down, resulting in a miniskirt with a bra top. Julio calls it the Shrimp. In another example of how one can stretch the maillot into new shapes, Julio has created what he calls the dress suit, a long, stretchy tricot tank
dress that can be worn down to midcalf or rolled up to reveal a bathing suit bottom. “You can wear it as a maillot in the water,” said the designer, “and then roll the top down into a dress for cocktails.” Less daring but no less colorful was the collection of Anne Cole, who has been designing swimwear for 30 years. “There is more fashion than we’ve seen in ages,” she said, “and bright colors.” To that end Miss Cole had groups of maillots in hot sherbet hues. She also has her version of those high-legged one-piece suits, but she gives them an athletic feeling by dint of open backs and shoulder straps reminiscent of the suits worn by female swimmers in the Olympics. She has even adapted the racing suits of cyclists for her newest-looking style: a tank top and a skintight elastic bottom with squaredoff legs. At Giorgio Sant’Angelo, the fashion designer, the swimwear had a pronounced feeling of the dressmaker about it. Some had draped bra tops and shirred bottoms. His most successful maillots featured very low backs with crisscross straps that stretched from hip to shoulder. And some suits seemed absolutely glamorous, with wide straps that wrapped around the bosom like the bodices of evening dresses. His newest idea combined Julio's roll-down principle with the frontpanel design of suits from the 50’s. The most dramatic, in cobalt blue, had a draped panel front that looked quite conservative until rolled up to reveal a strikingly cut-away suit. As for Miss Brinkley and Miss Tilley, they presented a collection that has every conceivable design in it. The overflow audience saw daringly small bikinis, suits that resemble men’s underwear (inspired by Calvin Klein’s men’s underwear for women) and the high-legged suits that Miss Brinkley has worn in all her Sports Illustrated covers. There are also well-bred tank suits that recall the 30’s, striped on top and with solid bottoms in the nautically crisp color combination of blue and white, and a wonderfully fresh group of cover-ups, including white terry robes piped in blue and a white terry oversize but-ton-down shirt. Sitting in the audience, Bryan Bantry, the fashion agent and producer, looked at the final Brinkley-Tilley suits and said, “Royalties think royalties.”
