Designer Swimwear Beach Location Photo-Shoot by Maggie Yescombe

"DESIGNER SWIMWEAR BEACH LOCATION PHOTO-SHOOT

The Designer, Marie of Sumarie, couriered the swimwear from her Femme Fatale collection over to my London studio a couple of days before the shoot.  So I had the swimwear with me ready, when I drove to Brighton station Friday morning.  At Brighton, I met up with my shoot team for the day, Tamara (Model from Milk Management) and Christiana Howell (MUA/Hairstylist). Despite me setting a later than usual call time of 10.28am (knowing we had plenty of day-light hours and thinking that they’d appreciate a lie-in), Tamara and Christiana both called me to let me know they’d turned up early.  So I put them in touch with each other, so they could grab a coffee, while I skipped breakfast/make-up myself to get there earlier too.

Down at the beach, it was chilly first thing in the morning, but not windy or too bad, so we decided to layout the make-up on the beach like a picnic, behind something for shelter, just incase a stronger gust came.

After sitting on a blanket (well a thick dressing gown actually) on the beach stones for a while, our bums were going a little cold/numb, so I grabbed the team hot coffees from the restaurant, that’s bathroom, with permission, then became our changing rooms.  Then we were ready to start shooting…

A few rounds of coffee, three outfits shot/in-the-bag, and a couple of lunches later, we moved on down the beach towards the Pier to do the rest of the shots at different locations, including the sequined Pantheon swim-suit with its beautiful shape and neck-line, that I had most being looking forward to shooting, and had in mind that wanted to shoot specifically that piece underneath the pier."

End of British Summer Editorial

Yes, summer is sadly over. But for great photographers, it's easy to find inspiration in the windy and chilly British September... Philip Suddick is one of them: he took some pieces of the Sumarie range, both from Classic and Femme Fatale Collection, and gave birth to a truly charming photo shoot. Finishing the last pages of a book, enjoying the last hours of summer, nostalgically looking at the great summer memories... That's the beauty of it.

Sumarie means life style. Sumarie means strong women, striving to succeed. Sumarie means being functional, but very, very chic. This is the story behind our brand, the same story as the one told in the stunning "Follow The Sun" shoot, that took place last month in New York City.

Sumarie News: Fashion Bust Feature

"Black and white is the timeless fashion colour combo, offering classic elegance and, this season, a totally on-trend look. Monochrome colour blocking, prints and patterns are big news on the high street for summer 2014, and nowhere is this more in evidence than swimwear."

In the latest photo shoot on www.fashion-bust.com, Caught in a Trap, some of the best seasonal swimwear pieces in black and white have been picked and brought all together by stylist Emma Lightbown and photographer James Lightbown.

Sumarie, specialized in monochrome and colour block palettes, was featured with Jane Bikini Top and Bilinda Bottoms: two of the best sellers of Classic Collection!

Dead Sea Editorial: Behind-the-Scenes

For all the fashion lovers, this week we decided to give you a sneak peek on the behind-the-scenes of one of Sumarie's SS14 shoots!
Marie and her crew flew to Israel to take some stunning pictures of some pieces of the Femme Fatale collection in the oasis of Ein Gedi, on the shore of the Dead Sea. 

Photographer Alexander Sherbacov, stylist Miki Avni and creative director Marie Su (who also modelled for this shoot, doesn't she look gorgeous in the Chrysler swimsuit?) did a really great job! 

Marta Lamovsek for Sumarie

Sumarie loves collaborating with great photographers. Marta Lamovsek, with her clean and classy style, is definitely one of them. These are some of the best pictures featuring Sumarie taken during the past year in three different photoshoots. Stunning!

Downton's Dockery

“She’s worked. She’s 30. She’s ready. There’s a sense with her of ‘Isn’t this great? This is a golden hour!’ And I love that in a person, when they know.”  This is how renowned fashion illustrator David Downton to describe Michelle Dockery, rising star in the international movie landscape and leading actor in the famous British series “Downton Abbey”. 

The artist, known as the “master of the light touch that goes deep,” met 32-year-old Dockery last year at Claridge’s in London, for a three-hour photo-shoot that produced a unique spread of photographs in the online U.S. Vanity Fair. 

David Downton further described Dockery as “classic and contemporary at the same time," and “very intelligent and alive to life." These characteristics surely make this great actress a Sumarie woman and we look forward to seeing more from her in the coming years!
