Which swimsuit to choose this summer: a bright bikini, a trendy floral print, or a retro model? The stars talk about their preferences, and the Antenna stylist talks about fashion trends.
July 1 2015
Nyusha, singer:
– In my wardrobe there are both fused and separate models. This swimsuit attracted with brightness. Pink color at all times looked favorably on a tanned body. Moreover, the swimsuit is very comfortable. I have already tested it in Bali, where I went to rest for a couple of weeks. I always prefer warm countries during my holidays. I enjoy the sun, the ocean, gaining strength after an intense tour and city bustle.
I always keep myself in shape, and do not come into it before the bathing season. I am engaged in fitness, I eat right. Work, again, does not allow you to relax. Like any girl, I am interested in cosmetic novelties for skin care in hot sunny weather.
Anna Chumachenko, stylist:
– Python colors at the peak of their popularity. A one-piece swimsuit with a textured snake print in pink is perfect for delicate predators.
Gluck’oZa, singer:
– I choose a swimsuit as carefully as a dress. I can try on, sort out for a long time. Everything is important to me – color, model, fabric, quality. It is in these clothes that you spend most of your time on vacation, and it should be like a second skin. I have different swimwear, but my favorite is one-piece. In them you are like in a summer evening dress. The pink swimsuit from the Chanel cruise collection is one of our favorites. In it I feel like a child, such a little candy. I think pink, when worn at the right age and at the right time, makes you look younger. I love to complement this outfit with floral accessories.
I’m not preparing for the beach season, I love delicious food, but I eat all winter and go on a diet closer to summer – not about me. I always do a lot of sports.
Anna Chumachenko, stylist:
– The charm of the pin-up style will add a special piquancy to the image. Do not forget to throw a retro style swimsuit in your suitcase, because it will only emphasize your femininity and seductiveness of forms.
Anna Khilkevich, actress, star of the TV series “Univer”:
– I’m always ready for summer. I was lucky, Arthur (the actress’s fiance) prefers healthy food, goes in for sports a lot, so I try to cook him protein food: cottage cheese every day, boiled chicken. And in a double boiler. And for me there are fewer temptations. Although I can eat everything, but in small quantities. I maintain my figure throughout the year, so summer does not come to me unexpectedly.
Every week I go to the salon to see a beautician, do body treatments. I recently discovered a self-tanner. It used to be necessary to smear itself, because of which it was always uneven, but now it is done in the salon. Great. I love myself swarthy, but a solarium is harmful, and there is no way to go to the sea all the time. So I found an excellent way out.
This summer we will go on vacation only in August, on a honeymoon trip. Most likely to the island of Santorini.
Erica Herceg, soloist of the group “VIA Gra”:
– I think every girl should have at least three or four swimsuits for the summer. I love bright, unusual, candid models. And only separate: a swimsuit is needed in order to sunbathe. This summer, in addition to the model in the photo, I also bought a classic black with an ornament in the form of a chain, pink with lace and purple.
I love the sea and the beach very much. This summer we have a busy schedule, but if I have a free minute, I will fly to Monaco with my friends. We will also be on tour in Turkey, there is the best tan.
I’m a sports fan. I do Pilates with a trainer, I have an exercise bike at home, and if I have a free evening, I ride it for 20 km. And in general, wherever I am, I devote at least half an hour a day to sports, I cannot sit still. I love sweets, but I hold on, replace with fruits. Because a girl must be slim and fit. On the beach, this is a must. And everyone can do it. I know from myself that I lost 30 kilograms seven years ago. Love yourself. Remember, seeing the results of your efforts in the mirror adds confidence.
Anna Chumachenko, stylist:
– A dramatic 70s bandage swimsuit draws attention to your waist and hips, while a futuristic glow will enhance your tan.
Maria Gorban, actress of the TV series “Kitchen” on STS:
– I am a real shopaholic, I have a great variety of swimsuits – about ten already worn and another seven completely new ones are waiting in the wings. Color and pattern do not matter. The main thing is that the swimsuit fits well. During pregnancy, I wore one-piece closed models, which were just at the peak of popularity. We can say that she was a fashionable future mother. Now I’m choosing separate bikinis. Firstly, I love a beautiful tan, and secondly, I have nothing to hide: after giving birth (on September 6, 2014, the actress gave birth to a daughter, Stephanie), my figure became better than it was before, I did not gain excess weight, on the contrary, I even tightened up! Only one problem remains: you still have to buy two swimsuits at once. I have a rather large chest and at the same time narrow hips, sets for this type of figure are not sold, so I take two sizes, from one I wear the top, and from the other – the bottom.
Anna Chumachenko:
– Blue, red, white – timeless classics. And the stripes and stars set the dynamics.
Anna Grachevskaya, TV presenter:
– I follow my figure all the time, try to keep myself in shape, do fitness, adhere to proper nutrition. Getting ready for the summer, I lost 10 kilograms in two months. I have several swimwear, but my favorite one is the black one. It is difficult to say about him whether he is separate or merged, he is very peculiar. But he sits so well on the figure, and I am so comfortable in him that he became the most beloved, and I just did not get out of him on a recent vacation in Sri Lanka. In general, I love classic colors – black, white and red, I prefer two-piece swimsuits so that there is a minimum of fabric on the body, just kidding: a swimsuit should have three strings and one bow! And if I had my way, ideally, I would generally sunbathe without a swimsuit – topless, because I really do not like it when white stripes remain on the tan.
Anna Chumachenko, stylist:
– A graphic model of such a swimsuit will favorably place accents on an ideal figure.
Anna Chipovskaya, an actress, knows how to choose a swimsuit, in which it is good not only to relax, but also to defile in front of the cameras. As it was at the recent “Kinotavr”.
Anna Chumachenko, stylist:
– This season, real fusion reigns in beach fashion. A retro style model with elements of sporty style – the choice for the most sophisticated. If you want to accentuate the waist – pay attention to high-rise swimwear. The original diagonal lines will make the figure even slimmer. In such swimsuits, you can not only shine in the light of the sun, but it will also be comfortable to run along the beach at sunrise.
Lyubov Tolkalina, actress:
– I have been engaged in synchronized swimming for many years, so I love water madly and I simply cannot imagine summer without the sea. My daughter Masha and I are now sunbathing in Bodrum in Turkey. We swim all day, master sailing on a board, which is not easy! All knees are bruised and hands are callused! And she took the first one she came across. I love plain colors, but the main thing for me is to be comfortable.
Anna Chumachenko, stylist:
– A universal one-color bikini is a must-have for any fashionista. Suitable for sultry athletes and just beauties.
Maria Shumakova, actress of the series “Sweet Life” (TNT):
– I grew up in Siberia and started swimming at the age of three in a lake in the country. I love all bodies of water, and in a swimsuit, the most important thing for me is comfort. I have more than ten of them, mostly separate. I have dark skin, so I prefer bright colors. I do yoga at the one-stop shop. I try to keep my figure, several times a week I devote time to classes so as not to gain weight and stay in shape. On the beach, I always protect my skin with sunscreens, I sunbathe strictly by the hour – in the morning from 10 to 13 hours and after 4 days. And I regularly eat carrots and drink juice from them, this contributes to the appearance of a beautiful tan.
Anna Chumachenko, stylist:
– Tropical print looks great against a seascape. Choose bright colors for an unforgettable stay.
Olga Buzova, TV presenter:
– If you choose between separate swimsuits and one-piece, I will definitely focus on the first. It is better to sunbathe in them – more of the body is open to the sun. Secondly, the incentive to maintain your abs. By the way, I regularly go in for sports, even on vacation. It is also important for me that the swimsuit has high-quality fasteners and that it is made of good material: not only so that it fits well, but so that it is not washed away by the next wave. When it comes to color, I love absolutely everything here. At the end of the vacation, when the tan has gained color, I love white swimsuits, they perfectly set off the bronze skin. I always take several swimsuits with me on my travels.
Anna Chumachenko, stylist:
– Swimwear with a variety of finishes and fashionable details looks not only stylish but also attractive. Add a sunny smile and you will conquer the most famous beaches in the world.
Anna Pletneva, singer, lead singer of the Vintage group:
– I bought this model because I liked it. And then it turned out that the sporty style is in fashion this summer. So it turned out to be in trend. I walked my swimsuit for the first time in Malta last week, where I flew for a couple of days. The Vintage group has a tradition: in the summer we go on vacation for two months. I will fly to my beloved Sardinia, where I visit almost every year. I’m going to cook pizza in my swimsuit on the beach. In a local pizzeria, I even get a salary, and a rather big one – 300 euros a day!
Of course, in order to wear such a swimsuit without hesitation, you need to work on yourself. But I don’t have to spend a lot of time in the gym, exhausting myself with strength exercises. You can lose more calories in one 40-minute performance on stage than in a few hours at the gym. And I also really like to dance, lately I have taken a great interest in classical ballet. I work out at the machine, I have a very good partner, with whom dancing is a real pleasure. And useful for the figure.
Anna Chumachenko, stylist:
– Dynamic swimwear in a sporty style at its peak this summer. A beautiful hip line can be accentuated with contrast trim or crisscross ribbons.
Sofia Kashtanova, actress of the series “Resort Romance” (“Channel One”):
– Swimwear is my weakness. I have more than 20 of them, and I am constantly expanding my collection. I like to experiment with colors and shapes, I like open and closed, bright and calm, with lace elements, stones, ornaments. Probably, I have such a special attitude to this thing from childhood, because since I was nine I lived in Mexico, where a swimsuit was almost an everyday form of clothing.
Anna Chumachenko, stylist:
– Save a luxurious white bandeau swimsuit for a bronze tan. A hat with a wide brim will add mystery to your look.
Anna Sedokova, singer:
– In the summer, I often have to perform on the beaches, in such cases, body suits are very helpful – both beautiful and not hot. And I prefer not too frank swimsuits, the main thing is to be comfortable. Soon I will finish my La Story swimwear collection, and then the problem of buying a new model will forever be a thing of the past.
Anna Chumachenko, stylist:
– Corset type leotard with contrasting inserts creates an even slimmer silhouette and makes the figure very attractive. The owner of this, of course, will attract the attention of the entire beach.
Sasha Savelyeva, singer, member of the Fabrika group:
– I prefer two-piece swimsuits with drawstring bodices. It is much more convenient to sunbathe in them. I have already tried out several new models in Israel, where I rested with my husband (actor Kirill Safonov. – Approx. “Antenna”). I took a couple of swimsuits with me to Cyprus, where we went on tour with the girls from “Factory”. I don’t prepare for the season especially, I don’t exhaust myself with diets. I eat whatever I want. But during the year I keep myself in shape, I am actively involved in sports. I go to the gym several times a week. And I can afford to wear any swimsuit.
Anna Chumachenko, stylist:
– Bikini with delicate floral print looks always feminine and romantic. Complete it with boho-style accessories and feel free to go to warm countries.
Natalia Lesnikovskaya:
– Swimsuit from the new youth collection of bright colors, the style is called IT. I’ll tell you a secret: this is not a set, but top and bottom from different models. So the shop assistants advised me. They said that the combination of two similar swimwear is now in trend. The bright color distracts attention from the pallor of the skin, because this time I arrived at the beach not tanned, since I had not rested anywhere for a long time. In general, before traveling to hot countries, I always spend several sessions in a solarium to prepare my skin for the sun, otherwise I will burn myself right away. Actually, I already have so many swimsuits – more than dresses! Soon we will go on vacation with my family, every day I will surprise my husband with a new one.
Anna Chumachenko, stylist:
– Work as a stylist and create your own unique beach ensemble that only you have. A colorful cocktail for a bright sunny holiday!
