The Luxe line of swimwear will be sold at high-end retailers, department stores and luxury resorts next spring, and is the latest concept from , which has created styles for such brand names as St. John Swim, Hurley Swimwear, Tommy Hilfiger Swimwear and GUESS Collection.

Inspired by designer sportswear and targeted for the “health-conscious,” well-traveled fashionista, the Luxe line features swimwear in bandeau-bra, tankini and one-piece styles, made of microfiber nylon jersey with a slight sheen, and accented with jeweled hardware, wood details and tortoise rings. The swimwear will retail for $130 to $195.
