For our sixth and final body type of the ViX Bikini Fit Workshop, we visit the city of Vitoria, situated on an island off the eastern Brasilian state of Espírito Santo.

“The Girl from Vitoria”

Profile:
Pear shape. Vitoria is an island city set in a curving bay of the Brasilian coast. Much like the island’s shape, the Girl from Vitoria is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. Balancing out her proportions is key.

The “apple shape” is our fifth body type for the ViX Bikini Fit Workshop and we have chosen the historic Brasilian city of Olinda to capture this girl’s essence.

“The Girl from Olinda”

Profile:
Apple shape. Deemed the country’s first Capital of Culture, Olinda is home to several historical landmarks that sprawl a hill overlooking the Brasiilian coastline. Like the city’s extensive reach, the apple shape of the Girl from Olinda is wider at the top with minimal waist definition. A figure-flattering suit will benefit her body type.

ViX designer Paula Hermanny loves New York! The people, energy and abundance of cultural attractions make it an obvious treasure trove for designer inspiration.

During her most recent trip, Paula spotted some beautiful, hand-woven tapestries at an arts-and-crafts fair. Their unique pattern and rustic fringe detail captured her attention. “This reminds me of Africa,” Paula told us, adding that her most recent obsession has been with “everything tribal.”

Paula also spent some time in contemporary art galleries. She became particularly fixated on a wall of colorful pop art. In studying the juxtaposition of bright colors, Paula expressed amazement with the ...

Thanks to Blink LA PR, ViX hosted bikini fit sessions at The Rooftop of the Hotel Wilshire. With sweeping views of the Los Angeles skyline, the boutique hotel was the perfect venue for everything needed to start summer off right: manicures by Bellacures, waxing by Alexis K of San Diego, hydration provided by Nika Water and of course, viewing of the latest collection from ViX!

1. Laying the foundation and watching her kids grow: “I love being able to teach ...

Are you ready for more Bikini Fit Tips? Last week’s post focused on the best swimsuits for small chests. Today, we travel south from Bahia and head to Rio de Janeiro. We chose Rio as the namesake city for the girl with a smaller rear who would benefit from a great fitting bikini bottom.

“The Girl from Rio de Janeiro”

Profile:
Small bumbum. Rio de Janeiro will host the 2016 Summer Olympics and the Girl from Rio is just as sporty. She’s athletic with a smaller rear, so a figure-hugging fit is key.

Welcome to Part Two of our Bikini Fit Workshop! Last week, you learned about the busty “Girl from Bahia.” Today, we’ll be shifting focus to girls with the opposite body type: a smaller chest.

“The Girl from Copacabana”

Small bust. Like this recreational beach, the Girl from Copacabana is full of energy. She has a boyish frame and would need to create feminine fullness up top with details, prints and ruffles.
