Lenny studies with Minimalism and Geometry for Summer 2008
Brazilian Swim Collection Features Bold Prints and Mosaics
Designer Lenny Niemeyer took her inspiration in surreal art and modern architecture; Joan Miro and Le Corbusier were key in designing shapes, prints, and color. In prints, neutral grounds give way to brilliant splashes of color in blue, red, yellow. A blue maillot yields the suggestion of brush strokes in black. Lenny interprets Miro in a graffiti print using the colors and simplicity favored by the artist.
Technique is studied in glazing and cracking techniques in paintings and weathered leather. Lenny studies tiles and when enlarged, their lines create subtle shapes and organic mosaics. She dared to apply broken mosaic tiles to her swimwear producing dramatic effects.
Geometrically cut suits, tile appliqué, and bold graphic prints were among the highlights of her presentation at Fashion Rio.
“Fragments fight to make organic shapes or mosaics, architectural patterns open up new frontiers,”
-Lenny Niemeyer, describing her collection.
Lenny is a designer swimwear line from Brazil that is sold in major
retailers including; Barneys, Bloomingdale’s and Scoop, regular retail is
$160-$300.
