Gottex’s nautical-inspired Spring 2009 show was its usual display of art meets fashion. Swimsuits were plafully designed with eye-popping colors and artful shapes. Bikinis were transformed into one-piece suits with the addition of an anchor decoration. Cartoonish style suits were given an athletic feel with hoods and body-hugging fits. Other simple suits became high-fashion with geometric  shapes, gold trim and flowy sleeves.
