"Here I did a very dramatic variation of just a one piece tank suit. I made the leg holes go way, way, way up kind of like the Speedo we did earlier. Not for range of motion. This is more of a "Oh, I have to drink my cocktail by the pool," lounging bathing suit as opposed to functionality of performance. You are really not going to race anywhere expect maybe for another martini or something like that when wearing this one. And typically there will be heels; that's what I see, my inspiration, would be heels and huge sun glasses and very dark tan and just lounging all day by the pool. Dream. But I have it going up high on the hips and then to accentuate the high hip part even more, I have it dipping way low at the chest. That makes it. The hips brings out the chest, the chest brings out the hips. And it cohesively acts as a dramatic silhouette."
