Beach fashion gets even more exciting this season as Vilebrequin, the renowned French swimwear brand from St Tropez, showcases its latest styles designer by haute couturier Karl Lagerfeld.

The capsule collection reinterprets iconic beach styles with Lagerfeld’s signature touch, which is rooted in a DNA that’s both luxurious and cool and combines timeless classics with a modern, rock-chic edge. The limited-edition collection of eight items includes men’s and women’s swimwear, beachwear and beach accessories. The collection will be available worldwide at selected Karl Lagerfeld stores and KARL.COM, in addition to Vilebrequin stores and vilebrequin.com from next month.

Inspired by the iconic Riviera coastline, the collection is grounded in a vibrant blue hue, offset by pops of crisp white and black. The men’s offering includes a polo shirt and two styles of swim shorts: one fitted with a flat-belt waist, and the other inspired by classic ‘70s silhouettes. The women’s offering features a bikini, a tunic and swim shorts. The collection is further complemented by a beach towel and a zip-top clutch. Durable and always in fashion, Vilebrequin swimsuits have become a point of reference for generations of fathers and sons. The designs reflect Vilebrequin’s love for the “endless summer,” fused with Lagerfeld’s signature aesthetic that’s sophisticated, modern and cool. Prices range from €60 (Bt2,400) to €210.
