The name AZUL (meaning blue in Spanish) actually comes from the word
blue, which happens to be Carina's favorite color and in turn represents the
color of water that "swims" throughout her swimwear.
With her mix of fabric designs, special touches and refreshing vibrancy, the AZUL
swimwear collection is functional and fashionable-two things even a youngster
can appreciate on the beach or in the pool.
The line caught the attention of a
buyer from Fred Segal, which is a store known for its high-end and
unique styles. In fact, according to many stores that carry the line, the term
"Instant Sucess" has been used quite frequently.
The line started out with the toddler through teen bathers in mind (sizes
2-16), and in 2003, Carina added an infant division for 6 thru 24 month old
little girls. These bathing beauties can now have accessories (hats,skirts and
cover-up dresses) to go along with their designer look.
Maybe the name AZUL did come from Carina's love of the color blue and the connotation of blue water, but those who see the line could easily say that it comes from her reaching past the bluest of skies with her creativity for this ultimate swimwear collection. With its fun and functional designs, the AZUL swimwear collection makes a "splash" on and off the beach!
