Several designers are making a splash for Resort 2012, adding a vacation staple to their repertoire — swimwear. Jason Wu showed several suits, in both a bandeau bikini and a sporty maillot style, at his presentation last week and getting the details just right proved to be quite a challenge. "It was much harder than I thought it would be," said Wu. "Getting the fit just right was tedious." Chris Benz, who tapped the same manufacturer as Wu for his first foray into swimwear, felt the same way. "Who knew how hard it was to design such a small piece of fabric," the designer exclaimed. His floral onesy was a nod to retro surf styles. And yesterday, Alexander Wang announced his poolside collection — along with the news that he is opening a second store in Beijing — showing speed and sport-inspired one-pieces, in his signature urban aesthetic. One thing's for certain — less skin is in and beach volleyball is game on with these suits.
