MITOS SS15 FairyTales Collection

The MITOS SS15 Swimwear collection is inspired by the magic of fairy tales and uses its art to weave users to an amusing journey, introducing at the same time an original approach to swimwear fashion design. Embroideries in motifs of exotic butterflies and love doves, romantic hearts and lucky stars, create an imaginary world swept up in an empowering air of mystery, in textile designs created by Kanella.

A sunny happy sea of pretty pastels, from mint, baby blue and bubblegum pink to bright yellow and peach, are used to capture the light and carelessness of summer. Exquisite materials and a unique, handmade knitting provide the sharpest twist in a collection that sees women as dynamic urban fairies, destined to bring to life this sweet yet wild at heart, airy yet seductive fantasy.

They can choose between design elements such as loving hearts, adorned butterflies, playful doves, lavish flowers and shimmering stars, all bringing us a little closer to a mythical world full of wonders and mystery.. Enchanting, feminine and elegant, the MITOS Swimwear SS15 Fairy Tales collection is destined to cast a spell on female fashion dreams.

Inspired by cultural traditions from around the world, MITOS has set its heart on translating them into intricate embroidery stitches and exquisite patterns and applying them onto exceptional materials, in an attempt to fulfill the desire of a niche market that has been longing for innovation, fine quality and most importantly, the unconventional.

Apart from their original designs, the MITOS swimsuits also stand out for their production method. Once the MITOS team decides on the inspiration and concept for the upcoming season collection, the fashion designer starts working on the cut-out swimwear patterns. The textile designer then creates the detailed embroidery patterns. Digital embroidery machines are used to sew the cross-stitches on very light and elastic, silk-like and quick-to-dry tulle. The inner material is a fine Italian lycra; its fast-drying and stain-resistant qualities, as well as UV protection (UPF 50+) credentials, guarantee a great feel and a perfect fit. Three hours of embroidering and 250,000 stitches later, a MITOS swimsuit is ready to impress.
