Vilebrequin 40th Anniversary Commemorated With Limited Edition Collector's Swimsuit

Online, April 22, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Only 2,100 Produced And Availble Exclusively At Vilebrequin Boutiques Worldwide

Vilebrequin has been outfitting men and boys with colorful swim trunks and accessories for 40 years. To commemorate this important anniversary, 2011 brings the introduction of a limited edition swimsuit highlighting the company's most memorable prints from over the years.

The unique patchwork design reflects some of Vilebrequin's most iconic and beloved themes and motifs. Colored with pastel shades, the salamanders meet the pelicans and kangaroos, and the fruits and flowers are side by side...the sea turtle, insignia of the brand and the original logo created in the seventies, comes together with the starfish and jellyfish to create the patchwork and a stunning visual combination, capturing the essence of Vilebrequin. In order to produce the richness of the colors on the 100% Polyamide fabric, this style is printed using an inkjet photography technique.

The swimsuit is fashioned in the classic Moorea cut - the original Vilebrequin style from the 70's. Other signature touches are the vintage engraved Zamac tips on the 100% cotton cord drawstring and exclusive 100% cotton inner brief lining.

Launched when the founder designed the first pair of swim trunks from a checkered tablecloth at Cafe Senequier in the port in St. Tropez in 1971, Vilebrequin (French for "crankshaft") quickly found its place in the world of luxury. With more than 70 prints and solid combinations, the whimsical designs and casual elegance always whisper impeccable taste and quality.

The 40th Anniversary swimsuit will be produced in a limited edition series of 2,100 exclusive to Vilebrequin boutiques worldwide and online at www.vilebrequinonlinestore.com - Available in men's sizes M- 3X. Retail price: $550.00.
