Gottex shows its wild side with this African inspired Madagascar swimsuit. This is one of Gottex's most dramatic swimsuits. If the label's mattes seem too tame for you, you’ll likely love the clash of stylized zebra print with tribal patterned trim. We've seen Gottex offer a few patterns before, but they were much more traditional than this bold design. Whether you think it's to…

A splash of color ensures this basic black Delaunay swimsuit from Gottex stands out in a crowd. Warm pink, violet, and fuschia hues burst from the side of this one-piece like a fractured kaleidoscope. It's really striking, although like so many prints I wonder whether it'll date after a few seasons. I'm hopeful it may endure though, as it goes its own way rather than following trends…

Gottex makes a dramatic shoreside style statement with this Katalist swimsuit. I first admired Gottex's asymmetrical one-shoulder designs with the Rhythm, and I'm every bit as impressed with this new swimsuit. While the two styles are similar, the Katalist is much cleaner than its stable mate. The pleating across the bust is gone, replaced with a much smoother finish. The strap…

With just a dash of metal Gottex elevates the classic one piece from staid to sensational with this Mystic Beauty. All too often designers focus on the body of their swimsuits and tack on straps as a functional afterthought. Gottex has reversed the trend here, keeping the body basic and playing more up top. Metal claws help to affix the soft double straps to the rest of the suit. Their g…

Black and white hues work in harmony in this printed Gottex swimsuit with the same name. I always appreciate the classic combination of black and white colors, but I'm less enthusiastic about the print. The abstract dot pattern is interesting, but it looks a bit dated. And if it's dated now, you can only guess how out of vogue it'll appear after a few summers. Of course if you don't care…

Gottex uses its blend of polyamide and knitted elastan as a canvas with this Atlantis Surplice swimsuit. The blue splatter paint effect calls to mind artworks by Jackson Pollock or Damien Hirst. Different shades of blue and a splash of white are used to create a finish which looks summery and dynamic. The simple wraparound style of this one-piece swimsuit allows the print to do most…

Gottex brings its signature fashion forward style to plus-sized beach lovers with this Coral Sea one-piece. The high neck style makes this swimsuit look very stylish while still maintaining modesty. It's complemented by a keyhole cut out, which offers a glimpse of cleavage without showing off too much skin. The abstract Coral Sea print is artsy and a little bit nautical. I like it…

Gottex makes a dramatic style statement with this asymmetrical Rhythm swimsuit. Gottex abandons tradition for a more fashion-forward one-shoulder style. This wide strap is gently pleated, mirroring the soft shirring around the bandeau bust. The rest of the swimsuit seems fairly plain when compared to the top, but there are a few hidden benefits to be found. You might assume tha…
