Girls Gone Wild, Now With Swimwear



if only Libertine would dress The Libertines.jpg When we heard that Girls Gone Wild was introducing swimwear at Miami Fashion Week, a few things came to mind:
Velcro bikinis that easily ripped off the body…
See-through material for all the one-pieces…
A supplementary perfume line made from Rohypnol…
What we didn’t expect was a pairing with Ashley Paige, the swimsuit designer whose signature pieces are crocheted bikinis and vegan-friendly dresses.
Aside from the weird stereotype in John Tucker Must Die that all earth-happy girls are sluts, we really don’t see the connection between the designer and the brand.
Ashley’s rockabilly beach designs straddle Ibiza’s band-groupie vibe and California’s easygoing surfer babe. Meanwhile, the women on Girls Gone Wild just straddle each other.
Maybe they saw the designer on The Hills and thought she’d be a good investment?
