"Here's another variation of a bathing suit that is, at the same time very, very provocative but also very, very covered. It has the sex appeal of a nowadays like oh la la look but it also has the propriety of an old timey bathing suit. Right here, obviously, that is the chest that shows, and then I did two key hole things over the hip bones because this was designed for a person that had, obviously a model, very thin. So the hip bones on models stick out and I wanted to display that in the design. So that's why there's the cutouts there. Then the leg line, leg holes are low because of all the revealing that was done above it. Makes more sense. It just has a better overall look and balance, if you balance it out like that. When you show a lot of skin somewhere, you've got to cover up somewhere else. Just a balance. Give and take, eve and flow."
