Swank Events June 2020 Introduces GGVG Fashion's SOLID JOIE DRESS - A great time to flaunt your curves in this sexy bodycon



The bodycon dress has become the go to look for a night out. 

This GGVG Joie Dress is a direct descendent of those delicious 
and rebellious inspirations from the 20th century.


Traveling back in time, the 90’s was the peak of the bodycon dress trend.

It is believed that Herve Leger invented the bodycon which was first called
“the bender” aptly named for how it bent and molded to the figure.



The 1960’s “wiggle dresses” were the forerunners to the slim 
bodycon dresses as we see them today. 


In the 1950’s the precursor to the wiggle was the “sheath dress.” 
It was the figure flattering must have for the modern post war women.


The pinup era was alive and well into the 50’s with movie stars like Marilyn 
Monroe and Bettie Page seen flaunting their curves in these sexy sheath’s. 

Monroe even wore one with the now popular transparent paneling.


There have been so many influences, iterations and inspirations leading 
up to today’s bodycon look. Where the bodycon silhouette 
goes from here no one really knows. 

History shows us the lessons and possibilities, but the future portends change.

That is the fun part about fashion - for no matter what is trending, fashion is 
continually evolving, spreading like wildfire on to yet another hot and delicious trend.

Swank Events June 2020 Premiers the Kastle Rock (KR) Cynista Top - Touting Sex Appeal without Compromising on Style.



Fashion’s love affair with the ruffle seems to reignite once again as exemplified 
by this ultra-girly Kastle Rock (KR) Cynista Top.

The beauty of this KR Cynista Top lies within its ability to adapt to a variety 
of clothing styles based on its inherent simplicity. 


Its ease of versatility also allows this beautiful top to stand the test of time 
and survive the ravages of ever-changing fashions. 

As a sartorial detail, its cross over ruffle makes for a very feminine and beautiful 
fashion statement. Ruffles can be a difficult thing to pull off without feeling like
 you are walking piece of confection. 


However, this KR Cynista Top pulls off its ruffled frill with contemporary success.
By design, it leans into the realm of the modishly minimal with cutting-edge flair.

I like how this top’s diagonally applied ruffle ban flys upward from under the 
right armpit, over across the left shoulder and then down diagonally across 
the back, giving it aesthetic and asymmetrical balance. 


I also like how the hem of the top is ruffled as well which complements 
and pulls the look together.



I think of its application on this top as a power ruffle. It’s the perfect combination 
of womanly and forward-thinking - embracing a fierce legacy once worn by 
royalty and revolutionaries, connoting strength and exceptional power.



Its HUD offers 9 delicious color schemes to play with for your fashion flavor passions.
However you choose to wear this KR Cynista Top, you will find that it makes 
for a great statement piece, touting sex appeal without compromising on style.

Swank Events June 2020 Introduces the SAS Aloha Dress - a beautiful fusion of historic Hawaiian and new fashion



Hawaii is officially known as the “Aloha State.” 

This SAS Aloha Dress reflects Hawaii’s rich history, 
highlighting the colors, flowers and culture.



While flip-flops and shorts are the most common fashion statements 
worn in Hawaii, clothing in the Aloha State reveals a rich and varied
history shaped by its climate and cultural traditions.

Although luaus, coconuts and pineapples are all things that may first come 
to mind when you think of Hawaii, what makes Hawaii great is its own unique 
fashion culture. Like most fashion trends, styles evolve over the

decades, but in Hawaii, most of the iconic looks are here to stay.


This floral printed SAS Aloha Dress has chic flair!

It features a cross-wrapped bodice with sweetheart neckline and
spaghetti straps, body-hugging fit with a high slit hem.

Tropical, casual, brightly printed, and long cotton dress like this beautiful
SAS Aloha Dress have been sported by popular celebrities both on and off
camera like Lauren Bacall, Gene Tierney, Shirley Temple and Veronica Lake.



This dress can be worn at special events like weddings, beach parties, 
special social events and dance clubs to brighten your day.

When traveling to the Hawaiian Islands, you will see a variety 
of influences in cultural dress styles, incorporating natural indigenous 
materials to make hats, bracelets and purses, or combining
imported fabrics to produce the famous aloha look.


This SAS Aloha Dress is a beautiful fusion of Hawaiian old and new. It includes a 
HUD which boasts 8 gorgeous patterns, each with its own unique color scheme.


So, if you want to enjoy the true flavor of paradise, this SAS Aloha Dress 
is just perfect for you! It is a beautifully executed variation of 
the Holoku Hawaiian Dress, magically transformed by Sascha Frangilli.

Swank Events June '20 Introduces the Luxe Paris Fun Dress - A modern day, high-kicking party look for both day and night fun!



This ruffled and tiered Luxe Paris Fun Dress is absolutely adorable
This little polka dot number makes for the perfect party dress.


Like the Flappers of the 1920’s, this dress also breaks with traditions 
in the name of liberation. So, if you want to dress like a flapper, 
this dress definitely embraces its attitude. 




I LOVE this tiered and ruffled mini! Looking back at history, 
ruffles slowly moved exclusively for women through the 20th century - 
via flapper girl fashion, the flamenco dresses, and then 
with renewed post-World War II extravagance.


Even though its mini hemline isn’t controversial by today’s standards, 
it still exemplifies the celebratory attitude and symbolizes the boisterous 
break from the past Flapper era.

In the past few years, ruffles have once again asserted their dominance on 
the runways and are returning once again as one of the hottest 
trends of this spring season. 


This Luxe Paris Fun Dress makes for a perfect and effortlessly chic transitional 
statement piece. I chose to wear it with these red strapped boots. 


You can also pair it with bare legs and your favorite sandals as a summer dress.

This Luxe Paris Fun Dress brings the flirtatious energy of the Flapper era 
into the modern day with high-kicking, party looks for both day and night fun!

Swank Events June '20 Premeirs Wild Fashion & Beauty's She Badd Bikini - Fierce and flirty, it's a great look and certain to turn heads.



When it comes to selecting clothing, few items summon 
up feelings of anxiety more than the bikini. 

Simply put, these two little pieces of fabric are (without doubt)
arguably two of the most difficult pieces to decide upon. 


Society has conditioned women to view their bodies as social currency. 

When shopping for bikinis, we scrutinize every detail - asking ourselves 
silly questions like “does this strap fit me or does it look too tight,” 
or “does the cut make my bottoms look fat?” 


Bikinis often mask themselves as little sartorial demons. 

However, when you find one that complements your figure, 
it does wonders for your confidence and self-esteem. 


Fierce, feminine and flirty, this Wild Fashion & Beauty She Badd Bikin
possesses a great look and is certain to turn heads.


The HUD comes with 15 separate texture patterns and colors for the tops and bottoms.  

They are all gorgeous, vibrant, and playful!



This Wild Fashion & Beauty She Badd Bikini makes a great statement with its very 
well-placed buckles, heralding attention without compromising on style. 


The buckles are strategically placed at the top’s center gore 
and bottom’s hips, flattering your figure. 



So make a stylish Second Life splash at the pool or the beach this 
summer with this bold two-piece, Wild Fashion & Beauty’s She Badd Bikini.
