Map Swimsuits

Its almost swimsuit season & I gotta admit I can't stop dreaming of the lazy-sunshine-ice-cream-eating days that seam so close yet so far away.

I have such a good feeling about this summer. I'm working at the Anthropologie design offices in Philly (eeeeeek!!), and can't wait to be in a creative environment that isn't art school. I think it will be a refreshing change.

Anyway to cure my summer fever I designed some swimsuits inspired by summer travel (i.e. maps and the ocean) hope you enjoy....

I did some research on cool old & new maps, and these were some of my favorite. I manipulated the colors and then created graphic prints.

I thought the ocean print could be fun...if you were playing in the waves you would just...blend in :)

This one is my favorite probably because of my current undying love for the shade of nude (in the back bows).
