Vitamin A Swimwear is available in the Swimsuit Downtown Portland Boutique and the NE Portland Bathing Suit Boutique.

Feeling good in your skin means getting all the vitamin A your body needs!  We’re talking about Vitamin A swimsuits, of course, by designer Amahlia Stevens.
Only four perfectly cut little black bikinis comprised Vitamin A’s entire debut collection back in 2000, when the designer first unveiled her now ubiquitous “California Cut.”

Fast forward to 2011, Vitamin A bikinis are known as the LBB (the Little Black Bikini!) — the go-to choice when you want to feel instantly chic, sexy and slim.

The perfect fit is everything.
There are summer essentials every woman needs. Here is where you’ll definitely find that beloved black swimsuit. “A woman can’t have too many black bikinis,” says Stevens, “They’re super sexy in an understated way.”

It’s no wonder why celebs like Nicole Kidman, Sienna Miller, Chloe Sevigny, Jessica Alba and Cameron Diaz are loyal fans of the label. “I love creating designs and watching them come to life on my clients,” Stevens says. “That’s a never ending inspiration.”

The Vitamin A Silver collection, a hip new diffusion line, debuted this year to rave reviews from the press, and a new generation of trendsetters. Young Hollywood starlets like Miley Cyrus, Audrina Partridge, and AnnaLynne Mccord are snapping up these brightly colored reversible gems!

Amahlia is excited to announce her first green bikini collection. These ultra-sexy suits are made with a deliciously clean swimwear fabric, using 100% recycled nylon fiber. “I hope to turn heads and redefine the old image of ‘green as granola’ into ‘green as gorgeous, sleek and eco-chic.’” As if we need more reasons to don a Vitamin A, a portion of all proceeds will be donated to Heal The Bay.

Vitamin A swimwear is designed in Laguna Beach, California and produced in the USA. “I’m very proud of the fact that, while our competitors race offshore, Vitamin A is produced right here in sunny California,” Stevens says. This year, the California sun shines across the Atlantic, and this authentic Laguna Beach label is popping up in the best boutiques throughout Europe.
