Kendall Jenner Bikini Pics

Kendall Jenner bikini pics for the official 2012 White Sands swimsuits campagne

15 year old Kendall Jenner's new soft bikini pics from the official swimsuit campagne of Australian swimwear and resortwear designer White Sands.

She gave us a sneak peek at her shoot for Aussie swimwear brand White Sands in August, and now, Kim Kardashian‘s little sis Kendall Jenner is making waves with the official photos from the campaign.

White Sands new 2012 bathing suit collection for spring and summer of next year is based on the women of the 1940's and 1950's film noir movies and showcases some retro models with bikinis with floral designs, maillot's with a deep cut and caftans.

The bikinis and bathing suits showcase both a strong side and an extremely delicate heavenly side, which is perfectly modeled by the 15 year old Kendall who expressed her favorites being the floral bikinis with an high waist.

According to the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CDFA), models should be at least 16 before strutting their stuff on the catwalk. However this rules doesn't seem to affect Kris Kardashian, whose other daughter Kylie just did her first catwalk for Avril Lavigne’s clothing line during New York's Fashion Week. As far as her father - Bruce Jenner - is concerned, he has no say in all this.

Unlike the extremely racy previous pictures of Kendall Jenner in a bikini, these White Sands bikini pics portray a much softer water nymph.

What's better than seeing Eva Longoria in a bikini? According to fashion stylist Robert Verdi, the answer is : seeing Eva Longoria in a skirted swimsuit.



Don't you want to go from the beach straight to restaurant without having to change or to wrap yourself in a sarong? The skirted swimsuit is the perfect solution.



Michael Kors Skirted Swimsuit



You must have noticed that our blog's designer Popina love retro swimwear. No wonder the style is being picked up by other designers, even Michael Kors added a yellow skirted swimsuit with belt to his latest collection.



I do wonder which restaurant Michael Kors wants you to visit wearing this bathing suit, yet it shows that the skirted swimsuit is geared towards sexy young girls and women leading a fast and convenient lifestyle.

New: Popina Retro Swimsuits introduces The Jantzen Vamp

This is a guest post by Pamela Levenson. Pamela is the owner and designer of Popina Swimwear, Portland's only designer of Fun, Flattering & Fashionable Retro Swimwear. Browse around in her online Popina Swim Boutique for swimsuits using today’s fabric innovations styled on the 40's and 50's.



Retro Swimsuits by Jantzen are on the way to the Portland Swimwear Boutique Popina Swim.



Jantzen is the innovator of swimwear and used to have their headquarters in Portland, Oregon. A couple years ago Jantzen moved their operations from Portland to Miami when they were purchased by Perry Ellis.



Alas, not a Portland company any longer but the good news is that since Perry Ellis purchased Jantzen there has been some reinvigoration of the Jantzen brand:



Jantzen has looked back to their roots and their innovation of the past to reinvent retro.



Earlier this week we placed an order for the Jantzen Vamp suit shown below:

A picture can say 1,000 words, but as you can see Jantzen does get it:




  • not only a great retro flavored suit with all the stylings such as a modified privacy panel and the classic strapless look, but also

  • a great piece of art work with the contracting colors and the vintage boat.



Although Jantzen isn't manufacturing Swimwear in Portland any longer, Popina is very excited to bring Jantzen Swimwear back to Oregon and are proud to offer Portland's largest selection of Women's Swimwear.
