Sydney-based designer Christopher Esber’s designs have been seen on ‘It’ girls Hailey Bieber and Dua Lipa, while Dsquared2’s new collection captures the ’90s rebellious spirit

From the sculpted (see Christopher Esber’s Salacia one piece) to the pretty (get an eyeful of Chemena Kamali’s floral Chloé swimsuit), there’s plenty of options for those that want to make an impression at the beach this summer.

Meanwhile, paisley-print shorts are perfect for men aiming for low key, while Dsquared2’s spring/summer 2025 range offers wearers a chance to show off a little.

Orlebar Brown’s mid-length printed swim shorts feature an artistic interpretation of a paisley motif in neutral and blue hues. The pair, which is cut from polyester, has a rope-effect drawcord and a part-elasticated waistband to ensure a proper fit. It will go particularly well with loafers and the British menswear label’s edit of linen T-shirts.

Sydney-based Christopher Esber founded his namesake brand in 2010, since when, his effortless, sensual styles have attracted “It” girls including model Emily Ratajkowski, singer Dua Lipa and model turned skincare CEO, Hailey Bieber. The brand’s latest swimwear collection includes items like the Ruched Prong Bandeau bikini and the Salacia one piece, detailed with the designer’s signature wire wave formation.
