Did You Know... Growing Trends in Swimwear

Did you know that Angela King Designs creates swimwear? With a customer base rooted in professional cheerleading and dance, many wonder... why swimwear?

Nearly all NBA and NFL cheerleading squads create a team swimwear or uniform calendar. As the chosen costume designer for many elite performance teams in professional sports, AKD has oftentimes extended its brand to create custom swimwear for these calendars. The AKD brand has been worn in calendars of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Cheerleaders, the Atlanta Falcons Cheerleaders and the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders, to name a few. Custom swimwear has creatively featured the team logos, and even airbrush creations.   

Since the creation of the Go Wild! Wear collection in 2009, many individual performers are selecting to shop AKD online for audition performance wear. But what about the need for swimsuits? In recent years, there has been a growing trend of the audition "pageant" - a final show of team candidates, many times walking the runway in - you guessed it - swimwear!   

Go Wild! Wear now features a special swimwear collection designed for the Miss United States Pageant. The 2012 national board wanted to offer a preferred resource for swimwear that was classy and glamorous. The pageant wanted a variety of color options, the ability to adjust the fit, and of course - a little sparkle! One-piece and bikini styles were created to feature rhinestone accents.

The swimwear was worn on stage at nationals by several contestants including Miss Arkansas Lauren Parker, Miss Connecticut Ashley Leach, Miss Guam Megan Betteridge and Miss Junior Teen California Samantha Figueroa.

The Miss United States Swimwear Collection is available for anyone interested in looking glamorous on the runway, at a photo shoot, in the pages of the team calendar, or worn the traditional way - lounging poolside. Angela King Designs continues to offer custom swimwear for organizations and teams.
