Be “Envied” in the 2011 Voda Swim Collection

Make a big splash this bathing suit season! Voda Swim's 2011 collection is filled with bolder colors, dynamic prints and sexy silhouettes. Hues including yellow sunshine, pink lipstick and pearly whites are paired with turquoise and tiger’s eye stones, luxurious lace and 14kt gold accents.


Back for a second season is Voda’s Envy Push Up bikini top, a patent-pending design created to visually increase bust size by up to two-cup sizes. The secret to the Envy Push Up top is in the fit. Inside the top is a soft and pliant pad that lifts and enhances the breast. In addition, the top retains less than a tablespoon of water, helping the top to retain its extraordinary fit--even when wet. 

Here are a few highlights from the 2011 collection: 


Mix and Match: This season, Voda’s color palette was designed with mixing in mind. The classic designs from last season are reinvented in new hues meant to be mixed and matched, turning a few swimsuit pieces into infinite options. Bright and playful graphic prints pair nicely with a variety of solid colors. Try a Pink Twist top with a Lipstick bottom, or a Coral top with a Cocoa Blast bottom. The possibilities are endless. 


Stone Collection: Exotic hand-picked stones adorn classic Voda silhouettes, giving each piece a little extra glam. Vibrant turquoise stones accent a classic bikini bottom and halter top. Rows of red coral or natural tiger’s eye stones add a touch of color to an otherwise simple string bikini. All stones are water-resistant and rest within 14kt gold-plated settings. 


Lace Collection: Catering to your subtly sweeter side, Voda’s lace collection is demure and sexy at the same time. Thin pieces of black crocheted lace line the classic string bikini top or for a more dramatic look, thick strips of lace are placed aside ruching detail on the bust. Both can be paired with a boyshort bottom reminiscent of your favorite pair of undies or a string bottom with a hint of lace peeking out the top. 

Monokini

Monokini and One-Piece Collection: Less is more with Voda’s new collection of sexy one-pieces. With dramatic side cut-outs, the monokini is accented with 14 ct. gold rings and string ties. The one-piece keeps things covered while revealing a flattering criss-cross back detail and the classic Envy Push Up lift. 


Voda Swim is the brainchild of designer and international print model Yulia Drummond. Despite looking hot on the runway, Yulia found that she was self-conscious of her small bust when in a swimsuit. Inspired by her own struggle to find a flattering bikini, Yulia and her husband, Dustin, created a bikini that would make the most of the smallest assets.
