Kushcush in the press!

One of my favorite styles of my 2011 collection has been getting a lot of love from retailers & the press this season. I love this sophisticated wrap halter maillot because it’s a fantastic fit and oh-so chic on women of all shapes, ages, sizes and heights! Check out the ‘Lauren‘ (named after my adorable 3-year old niece!) as seen in Fitness and Real Simple magazines this month!

There are few things I’d rather be doing than relaxing on the beach with a good book. And while it may be cold outside (or an absolute tundra as the case may be), my 2011 swim collection and a sunshine-y new paperback are about to hit stores. To celebrate, we’re doing a giveaway to get you into an utterly optimistic state of beach bliss!

Win a fabulous Kushcush “Milla” bikini and a copy of the adorably inspiring book Meeting Your Half-Orange by Amy Spencer!


On Harper Bazaar’s “Hot List” and #1 on Star Magazine’s “Must List,” Meeting Your Half-Orange: An Utterly Upbeat Guide to Using Dating Optimism to Find Your Perfect Match is an inspiring and charming read that reminds us to look on the bright side in life and love. Although I’ve been blissfully married for 10 years, I love the message in the book (so did Glamour, Cosmopolitan UK and Jillian Michaels!) and found many areas of life to apply the book’s power of positive thinking. Read for a healthy dose of optimism or share with your single girlfriends. And for a daily dose, check out Spencer’s blog at TheDatingOptimist.com.



If you don’t have a beach trip planned yet, well, what better way to look forward to one than with a HOT new bikini (hello, healthy body inspiration!) and an optimistic book to read on the sand. Kushcush has been worn by Kim Kardashian, Jessica Biel, Nicole, Ritchie, Audrina Patridge and Nicky Hilton. And if you win the giveaway, it will also be worn by you! This “Milla” style is part of the Spring 2011 line and flattering on all body types – so good, the style made the UsWeekly Buzz-o-Meter because they thought so, too!

Contest runs from Tuesday, January 11th to Friday, January 14th at 12 midnight.

The Top 10

In their former identity, Park Vogel crafted perfectly cut tanks, tees and cashmere that added just the right amount of style to wardrobe basics. I’ve been a fan for years (and not just because they are in the adjacent design studio and I could shop their sample sales on my way from the elevator…although yes, shopping in the workplace is fabulous).

Now known as Vogel 10, design director Vanessa Vogel and her team hand curates a list of 10 coveted must-haves every month from their new line of equally luxurious closet staples as well as designer collaborations .  This month it’s a wardrobe inspired by a Greece getaway and includes my ‘Riviera’ bikini in black! Check it out here!

 

If you’re in NYC today, stop by Saks Fifth Avenue from 1-4pm for their Beauty & the Beach Swim Event! The 9th floor will be transformed into a tropical oasis with DJ + beauty bar + food/drinks. Shop the new Kushcush collection while you’re getting into the spring of things and enter the raffle for a chance to win a free Kushcush bikini!

It’s been quite the whirlwind here at team Kushcush since the SI Swimsuit issue came out  last week showing Lindsey Vonn in my Diana bikini!

We’ve seen the photo of Lindsey wearing Kushcush everywhere from LA’s NBC News, Access Hollywood and even Oprah. I mean, OPRAH! We’ve also felt the love from Lindsey & my hometown state, Minnesota. We’ve been featured on the Fox9 news as well as the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Being in SI is a huge deal for a swimsuit designer, but even more, I cant tell you how thrilled I was to learn that it was Olympic skier (and now gold medalist!) Lindsey Vonn wearing my suit. Lindsey and I are both from Minnesota and I come from a long line of skiers.

As a bikini designer, Im kind of like the black sheep amongst my ski-obsessed family (well, more like a California tan sheep). But nonetheless, I love my snow-covered roots and think it’s fantastic to bring these two worlds together. In fact, we currently sponsor Maine’s Team Skiers Edge, my nephews J4 ski team (go Nick & Dev!).

So, to celebrate everything snow, skis and bikinis, we are offering 10% off at Kushcush.com for every individual medal Lindsey Vonn wins at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics! To receive the discount code, simply become a Kushcush by Kerry Cushman Facebook Fan or sign up on Kushcush.com by the closing ceremony on Sunday 2/28/10. The discount code will be emailed out to Kushcush members and Facebook fans on Thursday 3/4/10.

Go Lindsey go! We’ll be cheering her on the in the super-G today!
