Gottex, designer swimwear from Israel, continues to break barriers between swimwear and high fashion specializing in one piece swimsuits, tankinis, bikinis and glamorous silk tunics and sarongs to compliment the collections. Each designer swimwear collection tends to be associated with various cultural influences. Gottex incorporates vibrant colours, fantastic fit and offers extra support. Here is a look at some striking collections of Gottex:

Poem is a floral pattern and flattering elegant range of swimwear for Spring and comes in white taupe and pale gold on a simple slimming black background embellished with black beading on the square necked and bandeau shape swimsuits.

For a more glamorous, show stopping look, Tanzania is for you. This comes in a collection of rich cream bandeau swimsuits and bikinis or elegant black swimsuits featuring a large Swarovski crystal accessory.

Broadway is extremely flattering in a black background with slimming vertical broken stripes in white and is available in a bandeau style or halter neck. Radiance is a sexy cherry pink swimsuit with a deep plunging halter neck design or bandeau and attractive diamante detail to complete the look.

The shades of the Mediterranean with its crystal clear ocean waters sums up Aquarius with its swirls of lilac white and silver on a turquoise and a jade blue background. Avant Garde, an extremely elegant collection, with its eastern influenced print and cleverly designed pattern tapering from the neck down to the waist, is extremely slimming to the eye. Silk pareo and tankinis complete the look.
