As you would expect from a brand like Gottex, plenty of creative thinking has gone into the new Lily design. Not just a pretty floral pattern, Lily has taken some inspiration from completely different garments like skirts & the tankini. They've extended the bottoms downward to add a mock skirt, a popular design feature in modern swimwear. But not just that, they've taken inspiration from the tankini by extending the bottoms upward, drawing gazes to the hips & slimming the stomach. Gottex Lily is traditional design turned upside down & a truly inventive bikini.
