CATCH A WAVE!

“It’s your Scuba Suit!” (Rob Lowe to Mare Winningham in the 80s cult classic St. Elmo’s Fire -- and that was long before the invention of the dreaded Spanx - yuck! Don't EVER wear anything that you wouldn't want your lover to see! There are better ways to camouflage figure flaws than with yards of hidden spandex! But I digress. . . )

Surfer-inspired duds are awash on the shores of fashion, and we're ready to suit up!

Get a load of Roksanda Ilincic’s shiny green and black wetsuit-inspired dress for Fall 2008. Totally rad!

At the Miu Miu show for Fall 2008, scuba-like suits and dresses were personalized with the models’ initials! And they were even worn with swim caps (hello, Adult Swim!) and scuba-style leggings! Honestly, I think the most "realistic" way I can see American women channeling this look is through neon tights. I never thought I'd see the day when fluorescent socks would come back into favor. But you know the old quip about "never" . . .

Models at Etro's Spring 2008 show sported surfer duds in the form of clingy mini skirts and capri leggings in chunky block prints - gnarly!!



So grab your board and your Mr. Zog’s Sex Wax and hit the beach (or the runway)!
