Finding the Perfect Bikini with Agustina, owner of Nina Swimwear
by Kim on 21. May, 2009 in Looking Your Best, Rio de Janeiro, The Best of the Best: Interviews
I am a self-proclained bikini-aholic. I have more swimsuits that I know what to do with. And honestly, it’s never enough. I love mixing and matching my colors and styles. Yet, it was not until I began visiting South America that I realized that if there was such a place as Bikini Heaven, this would be it! The beaches of Punta del Este and Rio de Janeiro were filled with the best bikinis (and bodies) that I had EVER seen. But as I spent more time on these beaches, I began to realize that these bikinis looked great on even non-perfect Brazilian and Argentine bodies. At that moment I did what any normal girl would do, I hunted down my favorite South American bikini designers! One of my absolute favorites for a sexy, high end, perfectly fitting, unbelievably well made bikini is Nina Swimwear.
The owner and lead designer Agustina Palacio is one of the hottest swimwear designers in the world. Woman everywhere covet her swimsuit designs year after year. And I was lucky enough to get her to answer all the questions that my jet set ladies have regarding choosing the perfect swimsuit.
