The smooth balcony top comprises hidden underwires to flatter the figure. The body is entirely power mesh lined to provide additional support across the stomach and bottom. Straps are removable.

ZANTE

This sash tie bikini top appears to be just a simple strip of fabric but it’s a trick of Greek sorcery – careful, hidden construction with darts ensures a flattering fit around the bust. The piece is strongly influenced by mythical Greek Goddesses, specifically with the gold collar adornment.

Influenced by the splendour of Greece and its illustrious ancient history, Marianna G Swimwear is inspired by mythical Goddesses, grand ceramics, ancient Greek armour and pioneering architecture.
Crafted out of the best Italian fabrics and sculpted to complement the female form, fine drapery and subtle embellishment add unique touches, emulating powerful statues of Grecian Heroines.

The debut Spring/ Summer collection for 2013 is divided into four stories; Athletic, Goddess, Brights and Ready to Wear – with each style taking its name from an island that has sentiment to Marianna.

The debut SS13 collection evokes an opulent lifestyle and a sense of powerful female identity.

Encapsulating one-pieces, bikinis, and a variety of kaftans, billowing maxi skirts and minis in silk cotton and crochet, in a colour palette of earthy tones inspired by the Greek landscape.

Born in London, Marianna’s sophisticated design signature has been strongly inspired by her international lifestyle, travelling between the stylish cosmopolitan city of London and the mountainous, glittering drama of Mediterranean Greece.
