It's no surprise that Ikat, serape, Navajo and other native-inspired motifs are all the rage this spring. From tribal-inspired headpieces in fashion editorials to modern interpretations of traditional patterns in clothing and accessories, the Skye design team did some visual digging before designing our "El Dorado" swim collection. 

All aboard for another season of sailing, complete with sunning on the deck and brunch at the pier.

We've got the wind in our sails with this collection of all things nautical, from open-toe espadrilles to Skye's sailor-inspired Chain Reaction swimwear collection, in crisp navy, red and white.

What could be more fun than a beachside getaway? Pack your flip-flops and sunscreen, and throw on a wide-brimmed hat for some much needed relief. 

We've put together some of our favorite beach essentials in a look that's ready for lazing in the sand or collecting seashells.

When you want a color that's both fresh and warm, only one springs to mind. It's no surprise then that orange has emerged as the “it” color for spring and summer 2012.

With the introduction of our latest prints from Skye, we're seeing a big return to simple classics this year. And what could be more timelessly stylish than simple stripes?

Resort season is upon us, and what better way to outfit yourself for that classic getaway than with a timeless vacation wardrobe based on the ultimate in simple sophistication – black.

If you’ve been following us online, or have seen our ads while flipping through your favorite magazines, you’ve most likely seen Cathy, the beautiful yet down-to-earth swimwear & fashion model who appears in our 2011 & 2012 collection campaigns.

New year, new trend report! Our focus this month is on plant-inspired prints. From florals to foliage, botanicals are a solid theme in the Skye Swimwear 2011/2012 Collection. Whether creating the Skye Vintage Hawaii hibiscus print collection or our Expedition line (a series of swimsuits designed with a subtle layered fern motif), our design team was heavily influenced not only by what was spotted on the runway in 2011, but also by cultural figures and traditional dress spanning many eras and corners of the globe.

Although most of us would'nt consider cozying up with the slithery creatures in real life, snakeskin-inspired prints have been the all the rage in fashion this year. From the runway shows of top designers such as Alexander McQueen, Chloe, Gucci and more, to celebrities sporting the style on the red carpet, reptilian motifs look like they are here to stay and were the inspiration for the Skye "Skinz" swimwear collection.

Ever wonder where our wonderful swimwear designers get their inspiration for each season’s unique collection?
