Ondademar Swim Brand Profile…
Ondademar was founded in 1999 by Pily Queipo to create gorgeous handmade swimwear designs. The company’s HQ is based in Colombia, South America so it is hardly surprising that their designs have a beach-loving Latino twist.
Strongly styled, Ondademars collections feature fabulous prints and luxurious fabrics for the ultimate in comfort and style. Targeted at fashion conscious women who are always looking for new styles and details, Ondademar embodies a highly modern, feminine style.
Today Ondademar is distributed in 34 countries worldwide, which is an amazing coup de etat for a South American company. Products have been featured in literally hundreds of glossy magazines worldwide. In 2005 Forbes Magazine declared Ondademar were one of the 12 lingerie manufacturers with the highest “top of mind” in the world.
How To Make Your Bras Last Longer!
For some of us, bras are cheap and disposable items bought from Primark for a few quid and chucked out when they wear out.
But not all bras are cheap, and certainly you get what you pay for when buying a ladies most intimate item of apparel. What we are trying to say here is that if you look after your Bra, it will look after your bust for much longer!
Here are some tips that will make your favourite bra last much, much longer: -
• Wash your bra on a delicates cycle separate from non-underwear items. A too vigorous wash cycle will stretch your elastic and may also bend underwired cups out of shape.
• Invest some money in a delicates wash bag. These great bags will ensure that the delicate fabric in your bra is not damaged during the wash cycle.
• Use a specialist delicates wash detergent that will not bleach your bra or degrade the elastic elements.
• If your precious bra is ultra delicate, consider handwashing it rather than putting it in the machine. Even with a delicates bag, more expensive and delicate lingerie could be damaged, which would be heartbreaking!!
• Do not tumble dry your bra. The heat will cause a lot of damage to the fabric and elastic, and you’ll find yourself needing replacement underwear in double quick time.
• Do not wear your bra for more than one day at a time. Now that’s an odd one, isn’t it? We’re told that the lycra elastic in all bras stretches easily, and that the heat of your body will cause it to deteriorate more quickly if you subject it to prolonged exposure. Rotate your bras daily and increase their lifespan!
• Store your bras carefully. Stuffing them in a huge drawer willy nilly can cause the same kind of damage a washing maching cycle does. Your precious undies will be stretched and pulled out of shape. Make sure they are folded neatly away and that the drawer is not over-full.
We’ve found some great Bra washbags on sale at Caraselle Direct. They cost just £4.99 or £19.99 for a pack of 5 and are specially padded to make sure that your underwired bras don’t get stretched out of shape. The bag zips up so there is no danger of them opening up in the wash.
Video - Ondademar Swim Collection Show in Colombia
Check out a bit of latino style in this 2007 video showing the Ondademar swim collection fashion show in Colombia. Commentary is in Spanish as one might expect, but we think the bikini clad Ondademar models speak for themselves! Gorgeous swimwear from an under-recognised brand.
Video - Behind The Scenes On A By Caprice Lingerie Photoshoot
An unusual opportunity to get a behind the scenes look at a Caprice lingerie and swimwear photoshoot here. Introduced by Caprice herself, we get the opportunity to see her doing what she does best - modelling her great range of underwear. This is one talented lady. Not only is Caprice gorgeous, but everything she models here has been designed by her. Impressed? We certainly are!
French Connection Catfight Commercial FCUK
Check out this controversial commercial for fashion brand French Connection (FCUK), it shows the battle between two ladies who apparently have differing fashion views. Fashion V’s Style was the name of this ad campaign. It caused an absolute storm of protests when it was first released. Many commentators thought it was derogatory to women. However, we will let you decide if it’s arty or just a load of old trash!
FCUK Fashion Show - Video
Check out the FCUK collections on display in this rather funky fashion show video. We particularly love the cool swimwear options right at the start. How practical the French Connection runway collection might be for the beach is another story… but hey, its certainly fun to watch!
Banned Love Kylie Lingerie Commercial Feat. Ms Minogue Herself!
Phew! We can sort of see why they banned this particular commercial for Kylie Minogues lingerie line. It features Kylie herself in some gorgeously sexy undies gyrating around on a plush red velvet bucking bronco machine and clearly enjoying herself immensely.
No wonder the Love Kylie range has been such a huge seller, we hope it makes a reappearance soon!
Animal Print Bikini By Caprice - Bring Out Your Inner Tiger!
Rarr ladies!! Animal prints are back and they are oh-so hot this season. We absolutely adore the Animal swim range By Caprice. The fantastic leopard print bikini set is styled in dramatic shades of brown and blue.
The cups on this By Caprice bikini are fully lined for support and comfort. The cups are lined with a beautiful hoop detail which is adorned with eyecatching beads. The halterneck straps tie behind your neck for a great uplifted look.
The bikini bottoms are cut low at the waist but have good rear coverage, creating a flattering look for women of all shapes.
We love the contrasting items in this range, which are available in brown and allow you to create many different looks with this competitively priced bikini.

Monochrome Cutout Swimsuit - Lunatic By Ondademar!
This season, dramatic cutaway swimsuits are going to be big news on those holiday beaches. The Lunatic swimsuit by Ondademar is a great addition to this years beach wardrobe. The monochrome print is gorgeously executed, as is the beaded detailing on the single shoulder strap.
The monochrome pattern features an eleborate and beautiful bird print. Despite the dramatic cut of the swimsuit, the rear coverage is good. Lets face it, very few of us have perfect beach bods and bit of extra support in the derriere department is never a bad thing on the beach!

Crochet Style Bikini? Artful by Ondademar!
Crochet style bikinis seem to come back into style again, and again, and again. The obvious reason for this is that people like their colourful styles and textures… and the swimwear designers listen! Ondademar have a gorgeous crochet style bikini in their Summer 2008 collection that will keep fans of this design happy.
The bikini is styled with a delightful crochet style overlay in a zig zag pattern. The crochet detailing is extremely light and fine, which means this bikini should be extremely comfortable on the beach. The Ondademar bikini top offers half cup coverage, and the slim and sexy fastening straps are in a gorgeous turquoise colour providing some great contrast.
The bikini bottoms have a teasing charm detailing at the left hip and are fastened together with the same slender fastening straps featured on the bikini top.
