“I would never dress in something that doesn’t make me feel good,” Claudia Schiffer told Net-A-Porter while discussing her Spring 2012 collection. “That’s why my collections have classic pieces with a fashion aesthetic.” Indeed, the former supermodel’s namesake line is full of basic pieces that are not only comfortable but also flatter the figure. But could she create such figure flattering pieces all the way into swimwear, we wondered? Turns out she could and did.

Her latest collection features crocheted bikinis that accentuate a woman’s figure in all the right places and hides those spots we’re always trying to cover up. In other words, full bikini bottoms with a slightly higher waist and tops with just the right amount of coverage.

Though we’ve got a little while before it’s officially bikini season, we’re putting this supermodel’s swimwear collection on our must-have list.

Claudia Schiffer’s swimwear is available for purchase at Net-A-Porter for $445.

The March issue of Harper’s Bazaar features Gwyneth Paltrow showing off her sleek figure in an Anthony Vaccarello gown that the similarly sleek Karlie Kloss wore down the designer’s runway as well as to Carine Roitfeld’s Vampire Ball back in September 2011.  Normally a dress doesn’t garner much publicity until it’s seen on the red carpet or the cover of a magazine, but Karlie wore the body-baring gown so well, both on and off the runway, that Gwyneth’s cover feels a bit like a rerun. Don’t get us wrong, we think Gwyneth looks phenomenal in the revealing dress, in fact we’d go so far as to say she looks as good as Karlie, but this dress has had it’s moment and it’s moment belongs to Karlie.

Who do you think wore it better?

We knew those Victoria’s Secret Angels had the life, and these recent photos of Candice and Behati further proves it. The two bikini babes were spotted taking a break from a Victoria’s Secret photo shoot in St. Barths enjoying a little wine and paddle ball. Talk about a rough life!

Aside from the fact that both girls look perfect in their swimwear (these photos aren’t photoshopped, ladies and gents), we’re going to go ahead and say they’re pretty good at paddle ball as well! So, if they were ever looking to quit their day jobs…but why would they?

Dree Hemingway’s jumped in the designer’s seat with her very own 10-piece capsule collection for über chic French fashion label, Sandro. Set to launch in the next few weeks, Dree’s collection is full of comfortable and breezy pieces that mirror the model’s free-spirited personality. “The inspiration was growing up in Idaho and men’s rock climbing books from the seventies,” she said. Indeed, each piece exudes that very Americana, bohemian vibe with it’s linen t-shirts, colorful maxi dresses, and printed skinny jeans. And though Dree attributes much of her collection’s aesthetics to Sandro’s creative director, Evelyne Chetrite, we see a future in fashion design for the 24-year-old model.
