Leticia is the owner of the Sieloh Swimsuit collection featured in Know Boutique's new arrivals for swimwear. She is a talented, stylish designer who is also witty and quite charming. Here is an interview with Leticia to get to know the woman behind the tan line.
Q: What inspired your current swimsuit collection?
Leticia: The street art in Venice Beach,CA.
Q: Do you do one-piece swimsuits or are you following the trend of returning to the bikini era?
Leticia: I have my version of the one piece in the "Carmen" style. It's super sexy and fun. I will always try to offer a one-piece per collection.
Q: Are tankinis out this year?
Leticia: Not a huge fan of the tankini; never have been, never will be ;)
Q: What are your thoughts on the return to 80s swim suits?
Leticia: If you see some of my color choices for the season you will see a huge influence of the 80's colors. Bright! Did you see my neon fruit? Can we get more 80s than that? I grew up in the 80s, so i think there will always be a nod to 80s in what I do.
Q: How do you find creating swim suits for an American audience different from an Argentinian audience?
Leticia: Argentinean women love to show off their bodies, especially their booties :) I feel like American women should show their booties off more too. The less fabric in the butt the better it's going too look. And I'm not talking about a thong, but if you have smaller coverage, it gives the illusion of your behind being slimmer. Trust me, i have converted even the biggest skeptic.
Q: Trends: As a designer do you like them or do they pigeon-hold you in what you can create?
Leticia: Yes, I try not to follow trends too much, I try to influence them.
