6 Shore Road: Around the World in Swimwear

A new Post "6 Shore Road: Around the World in Swimwear" was written on the January 12, 2012 at 8:15 pm on "Textile Global - Textile and Fashion News".

California holds a dominant influence on swimwear styles, but Pooja
Kharbanda hopes to represent a bit of Panama and New York beach
culture with he*r 
6 Shore Road* label.

Kharbanda grew up in Panama and spent much of her adult life in New
York. In 2010, she debuted 
6 Shore Road. The name was inspired by
Sunset Beach on New York's Shelter Island, a popular getaway for
Manhattanites.

Targeting women ages 18 to 35, the debut collection focuses on
coverups and dresses. (Kharbanda also confessed that she is not a
swimmer. "I'm a beach-to-the-bar person," she said.) For the
debut Resort '12 collection, the designer includes plenty of
Panamanian accents.

Some of the label's styles feature the stripe designs of the
indigenous Kuna people of Panama. The lookbook for 6 Shore Road's
Resort '12 collection was shot in the pristine town of Bocas del
Toro, located on the Caribbean side of Panama.

But the label travels north for its silhouettes. They are American-cut
and offer more coverage than skimpy Brazilian-cut bikinis, which have
proven popular in the past decade.

Fashion also is a top concern for the line. "I wanted to introduce
more than just a standard triangle bikini," Kharbanda said.

Some of 6 Shore Road's signature swim looks include the "Vista"
swimsuit, a one-shoulder maillot with ruched shoulder strap and waist
detail. There's the "Punta," which is a two-piece with revealing
net paneling on the hips. The "Isla Grande" is a one-piece suit
with crochet paneling in the midriff.

Wholesale price points for the label's separates are $32 and less.
Wholesale prices for one-pieces are $50 and less. The
ready-to-wear's wholesale prices are $105 and less. For more
information, contact Salon-9 Showroom at (212) 354-9220.—Andrew Asch
