Vilebrequin (2015-2016)
Created in St-Tropez in 1971, Vilebrequin has established itself over the past 44 years as a purveyor of top-quality swimwear for men, worn internationally by the likes of European Royalty, actor Jude Law, hip-hop kingpin Jay-Z and tennis legend Rafael Nadal. The first Vilebrequin swim trunks were born from the imagination of Fred Prysquel, a journalist and classic car enthusiast, who fashioned stylish swimwear from spinnaker canvas. Quick-drying and durable, Vilebrequin swim trunks – bursting with bright colours and whimsical prints – soon became the essence of a carefree lifestyle relished by those holidaying along the Mediterranean in the early 70s. Today, Vilebrequin is the quintessential resort wear brand catering for men, women and children; as well as boasting an extensive range of beach accessories including canvas bags, towels and caps.
