Honeymoon details

Brides are considering much more than just their gown when planning their wedding. They are looking at lingerie, shoes, accessories, swimwear and other items to wear either in the run up to their wedding or on their honeymoon.

Swimwear collection

Heidi Klein produces a range of beautiful swimwear in beautiful designs, colours and prints and has just launched the Resort Summer collection. We spoke to Heidi Gosman about her designs and are delighted to share this with our readers.

Heidi Klein brand

When was the brand established? The Heidi Klein line launched in 2002, just after we opened our first store in Chelsea

Where does the inspiration come from for the collections? The inspiration came when we (Heidi and Penny) were out shopping for swimwear out of season and found that most department stores don’t sell much at that time of year. The idea of a one-stop beachwear shop was born! I obtain much of the design inspiration from our customers in the stores who are the best focus groups to feedback on the perfect style and fit.

Are the prints exclusive designs for the collection? Yes, I design all the styles and prints in-house at our office in London.

Are the designs available at retailers or online? Yes, Heidi Klein sells in over 39 stores globally now in departments stores, independent boutiques and online via Net-a-Porter and www.heidiklein.com.

Does Heidi have a preferred honeymoon destination? I love Italy. Portofino is my favourite destination for romance, fun, beach and everything.

Brides are planning their weddings outside of the main wedding season when cost is an issue, but they still want to look fabulous on their honeymoon, so a one-stop-shop for swimwear available all year round is a fantastic idea. The ranges are elegant and functional with great style details and accessories, ideal for any honeymoon or holiday destination.
