When a man in bathing shorts feels comfortable - he is confident. And who, if not the French brand Vilebrequin, knows how to combine fashion and practicality? Bathing shorts with green penguins, pandas and pink elephants? Yes. And it always looks stylish. No wonder among the star fans of the brand - George Clooney, BradPitt and Hugh Grant.
With the start of the beach season in Dubai, I want to visit the beach as often as possible. After all, only a couple of months, and it will become too hot - so you need to seize the moment. This is the time when people are happy and life is easy. But on the beach I want to look especially beautiful and stylish. Elegance, recognition, practicality and comfort - these are the hallmarks of Vilebrequin, which has long become the benchmark of beach style.
The new Zen collection is an ode to tenderness, accurate and delicate calligraphy. Each print is the path to inner peace and silence: the patterns on the fabric are created by Indian ink, which makes it seem that seahorses gently whisper with each other, palm trees sway gently from the horizon. The collection is represented by warm and light marine shades, clean and light forms, thoughtful silhouettes and symmetrical motifs. Imagine how you absorb the positive energy of the sun, do yoga, dive into the calm turquoise sea and swim next to colorful, bright fish ... All this is the new Zen collection.
Since its founding in the 70s of the last century in sunny Saint-Tropez, the company has always been trying to express the spirit of this place in everything that they do. You can join the bohemian lifestyle of Côted'Azur in the Persian Gulf. After all, its main attribute is stylish things that you want to wear in a luxury resort.
The brand itself was founded by French sports journalist Fred Priscell in the 70s. Once, while spending time on the terrace of the famous Séquier café in Saint-Tropez, he watched vacationers strolling along the beach. Suddenly, he came up with the idea of designing men's swimming trunks. Immediately, Priscel drew on a checkered tablecloth what soon became known as boxer shorts. The stylish model with maximum freedom of movement instantly became incredibly popular.
Since then, the design of Vilebrequin bathing accessories has been minimalist - there are no extra details that distract the eye - and due to this, the models look really luxurious. Colors and prints are updated every season, but the main thing remains unchanged - a neat silhouette. Moreover, all shorts are tailored so that they do not lose shape, even when wet.
Outward simplicity and completeness of execution is the first impression that appears when you look at Vilebrequin clothes. But this effect is not so easy to achieve. The company buys polyamide fiber from Italy and ships it to Spain, where it undergoes special processing. The fabric is combed with special brushes to soften the fibers and give the material softness and velvety. Then prints are printed on top of the softened fiber - due to the movable texture of the fabric, this is an extremely difficult process, and if something goes wrong, the paint will simply spread out. There are only two workshops whose print quality we are satisfied with - one in Italy, the other in France. After dyeing, the fabric is sent to Italy, where finished products are sewn from it. The process is really long, but as a result, the fabric looks excellent - even in a wet, even in a dry state.
