Bon Voyage: forward to summer and back to the '60s with ES Collection
9 Mar 2019.


The Canadian winter and slowly thawing spring make one want to hear those joyful envious words, "Bon Voyage." To jet off to sun and sand and sea, and shed as much clothing as possible to bask in the heat and the gaze of the men on the water's edge. Barcelona has been a sensual visual from Antonioni to Almodovar, and the men a shimmering example of European eroticism. Barcelona is also home to ES Collection whose 2019 collection of swim and casual wear is dubbed "Bon Voyage."

The Bon Voyage swim line draws its inspiration from the first wave of '60s tourists who discovered Barcelona's beauty and ethos, "a new way of seeing life and understanding leisure." The melding of cultures, "the hippie movement, pop and optical art, and hyperrealism," blended with the Spanish hedonistic flavours to create a moment of change. ES Collection goes further, mixing in the mythological potency of sailors, the organic lushness of palm fronds and flowers, and the masculine energy of men cruising. 

From a simple short swim boxer with vertical side striping, to a retro '60s pop art eye-popping pattern, the Bon Voyage swim line covers all the bases while barely covering the basics.
