Pale pink on one panel, deep fuchsia on the other, and the wrap line running between them. The top closes like a garment, with two small flutter sleeves at the shoulder. The bottom rises to the waist and ties at the hip with a short strip. This is a swimsuit you put on the way you put on a top, not one you adjust like a bikini.
A two piece swimsuit that covers the shoulder, which few bikinis do.
Two pinks answering each other
- The wrap : The pale panel passes under the darker one and fastens at the side. The neckline keeps its depth instead of opening with every move.
- The shoulder : The flutter sleeves cover the top of the arm, the area that catches the most sun over a full day.
- The hip tie : It tightens later in the day, once wet fabric has relaxed. The bottom does not slide down.
- Out of the water : The pale pink is lined exactly like the fuchsia: it does not turn sheer as it dries.
What two tones cost
Two colours on one garment mean two dye baths, two batches to match, and a joining seam that runs straight through the most worked part of the top. Here it is sewn with a stretch stitch and topstitched flat, without which it would stiffen the wrap line. The fabric is the house's 82% polyamide and 18% elastane swim base, fully polyester lined.Assembling two tones rather than printing one is slower and truer: that is how the house of Misciano works.
When pink is enough
- Nothing around it : The swimsuit already carries two tones. A plain ecru sarong, and stop there.
- White : A white shirt worn wide open: the fuchsia comes forward, the pale pink recedes.
- Evening : The top alone over wide trousers: the wrap no longer reads as swimwear.
It comes in three other colour pairings, shown below the price, alongside the rest of the swimwear.
A way into a pink swimsuit without the usual single tone.
