Lo and behold, there now are bikinis that are set to target those that have thicker waistlines. A growing number of bikini manufacturers have woken up to Brazil’s thickening waistline and are reaching out to the ever-expanding ranks of heavy women with new plus-size swimwear.

“It used to be bikinis were only in tiny sizes that only skinny girls could fit into. But not everyone is built like a model,” said Elisangela Inez Soares, who is one of Brazil’s many bikini clad ladies.

“Finally, it seems like people are beginning to realize that we’re not all Gisele,” said the 38-year-old mother of four, referring to willowy Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen.

Presenting the bikinis made by clothing designer Clarice Rebelatto. Rebelato is the founder of Lehona, an exclusively plus-size beachwear line.

“Honestly, the problem went way beyond just bikinis. In Brazil, it used to be that if you were even a little chunky, finding any kind of clothes in the right size was a real problem,” said Rebelatto, herself a size 10.

“And I thought, ‘I’m actually not even that big compared to a lot of women out there, so if I have problems, what are they doing?’” Since its launch in 2010, the bikini line has become a hit.

“We’re working from the principle that bigger women are just like everyone else: They don’t want to look like old ladies, wearing these very modest, very covering swimsuits in just black,” said Luiz Rebelatto, Clarice’s son and director of Lehona.

Candice Swanepoel

The 23 year old supermodel was spotted by paparazzi while modeling frilly swimsuits, metallic swimsuits and even a crochet cover-all.

Swanepoel, a 5 foot 9 supermodel with vital statistics 33-23-34, even wore a belly chain when she modelled a few swimsuits.

The swimsuit model also posed lying down on the sand and even struck a pose where she looked as if she was undergoing yoga.

Swanepoel attracted attention from the media and fashion pundits last year when she supposedly appeared frighteningly thin. The swimsuit model, however, insisted that she was happy and healthy. She did, however, say that she had difficulty maintaining a healthy weight because of the rigorous and hectic lifestyle of a top model.

“I’ve been travelling around like crazy. I get skinnier if I’m very busy,” she told ABC News during the last New York fashion week.

“I am healthy and happy,” she said. Swanepoel joins the other models under Victoria’s Secret namely Adriana Lima, Behati Prinsloo and Gracie Carvalho.

The said Victoria’s Secret swimsuit models each took their turn in front of the camera earlier this week, splashing in the waves as they modelled two pieces for the brand.

Meanwhile, Swanepoel shared that she was touched by the concern of many people over allegations of her weight problem.

“I’m heartened to know how much everyone cares about me, but in this case, everything is normal and good.”

The partnership will also coincide with a Gilt sale, which includes swimsuits, surfboards, photographs and event tickets to consumers. All of the proceeds of the sale will be donated to The Nature Conservancy to preserve the beaches Sports Illustrated features in its pages.

The Gilt sale will also mean that Sports Illustrated will not make immediate money from purchased goods but its swimsuit issue will gain exposure. The exposure supposedly will come via in-sale messaging on the Gilt site. The sale, which will be advertised in-book in a special section, kicks off on February 14; the same day the Swimsuit edition hits newsstands.

Meanwhile, Quiksilver will provide a set of two surfboards for sale, and staff from Sports Illustrated collated a list of over 100 designers whose bathing suits are seen in the Swimsuit issue.

Sports Illustrated senior editor MJ Day said that 10 designers were invited to showcase their products and were also asked to donate the same.

“We have 26 million female readers, with a 70/30 [male/female] percent readership. Like SI, Gilt has a vast audience of both men and women,” says Day.

?“We thought it would be a perfect alignment between our two brands. Women read our magazine for the fashion, accessories and vacation ideas. Men read it for the more obvious reasons.”

A sales director with the local Internet provider Sonic.net, Loher, was dedicated to pulling off the stunt while even just had the cold, because of the miserable rain that has been blowing through the bus corridor like ice bullets. That is the reason why he was really overjoyed to catch a few rays the next day.

A number of the folks he approached while clutching a few of 50 $2 bills received him really warmly as like the spring-like weather and a few, not unexpectedly, blew him off their paths.

He said that he got every response from those that even ask ‘Can I have two?’ to ‘I don’t care if you’re giving away money, stay away from me!’

Loher, who is a fit and good-natured fellow that is almost his 50’s, only wore on him his Speedo and doled cash at the bus mall because that is what he promised his Sonic sales staff that he would do if the team bore down and met or exceeded its most recent sales goal. And they did.

Quite a lot of Loher’s colleagues came along to savor the sight of him confronting strangers in this most unusual way and asking if he might offer to help them with bus fare. A number of dumbfounded looks on faces broke into wide smiles as folks noticed the backside of his red suit was inscribed with the “Sonic.net” logo.

Loher’s Colleague David Brown said Loher’s performance really was a pleasure to behold because, along with the people who wanted no part of his offer, were some who accepted a $2 bill and glowed at the random if peculiar act of kindness
