This Spring, women on both coasts of the United States will have an opportunity to meet America's No.1 swimsuit designer. Rod Beattie is taking his latest swimwear collection on the road, and his first stop is next week at Nordstrom.

Bleu/Rod Beattie consists of swimsuits and cover-ups with a modern design aesthetic. Signature silhouettes include sleek maillots, versatile tankinis and sexy bikinis with clean contemporary lines and brilliant saturated color. Sensitive to the trepidation that many women have when buying and wearing a swimsuit, Beattie offers swimsuit style solutions.

High-waist swimsuit bottoms, strategically-placed shirring, flattering halter tops with built-in support, and fashionable skirted styles are just some of the design elements that can help the wearer look her best. Tops and bottoms are sold separately so that a shopper can find the right size and proportion for her body type.

Swimsuit sizes range from 4 to 14. Retail price points average $110 for a one-piece suit, $75 for swimsuit tops and $50 for swimsuit bottoms. Cover-ups, in sizes small to XL, range from $75 for a short sheer pull-over to $125 for a glamorous black jersey dress with gold hardware – worthy of an evening out-on-the-town.

“When I am putting together a collection, I am thinking of a chic woman…of any age,” says Rod Beattie, when asked to describe his customer. “She is independent and modern, with great fashion sense. She demands swimwear of the highest quality and best fit.”

Beginning with summer 2012, Bleu/Rod Beattie swimsuits will be made with Xtra Life LYCRA fiber for a beautiful, long-lasting fit. LYCRA.com. “The woman I design for loves travel and frequents spas and resorts,” continues Beattie. “A wardrobe of swimsuits and cover-ups is a must for her lifestyle - whether she is playing with her kids on the beach or attending a glamorous poolside cocktail party.”

Fashion highlights for Spring/Summer 2012 are: a color block bandeau maillot and bikini in ocean hues, modern grommets on sexy seamed halter suits in contrasting black and white, and a sheer poncho in a myriad of colors.

Beattie will also make personal appearances at Belk SouthPark in Charlotte (NC), on Thursday evening, May 17, and at the recently renovated Swim 'n Sport boutique in the Aventura Mall (FL) on Saturday afternoon, May 19.

Over twenty years in swimwear design, and a record number of retail best-sellers (according to the NPD Group, the leading provider of consumer and retail market research information), have earned Beattie the title America's no.1 Swimsuit Designer.

The contemporary designer label, Bleu/Rod Beattie, debuted for the Cruise 2012 season. Beattie lives and works in Southern California.
