Ice Cream Maiden: "Energetic, full of life, jester / Centre of attention or she'll shoot you...with a water pistol / Find her...slipping skittles into Grey Goose at a beach rave in Goa""My body is a temple," Project 104's new S/S '13 swimwear lookbook starts off by saying. "But my temple likes getting trashed." The UK swimwear brand's designer, Sarah Reader, decided to poke fun at the whole notion of vices in her cheeky new collection entitled "My Body, My Shrine." Each swimsuit is printed with an image of a different Technicolor shrine made of doilies, candles, and flowers that camouflage contraband. Reader even decided to give each design a little back story -- the Ice Cream Maiden model, for example, is an ode to a girl you'll find slipping Skittles into her Grey Goose at a beach rave in Goa and Sister Cig is the kind of gal who carries a hip flask in a bible. Each suit is also individually numbered on the butt to let shoppers know that each piece is a one-of-a-kind art.
The swimsuits are available HERE for approximately $129. You can scope the different designs -- and their back stories -- above and below.
Cola Queen: "Fun, wild child, gambler / Hot headed from caffeine, she loves you as much as she hates you / Find her...boozing on Black Russians at a pool party in Vegas"
Sister Cig: "She looks sweet, but she isn't / She likes boys with tattoos and carries a hip flask in a bible / Find her...toasting tequila along the coast of Argentina"
Pill Bunny: "Dreamer, deep thinker, serene / Everyone wants to know what's her secret? / Find her...sipping apple martinis anywhere stranger than paradise"
