Lifestyle wasn’t the only hot topic. Unusual for a swim market, 2014’s big trend isn’tsuit-related- such as past seasons’ fringe. It’s the rash guard, which designers havedubbed “fash guards”, since people who neither surf nor paddleboard also wear themfor everyday, much like workout clothes for those who have no intention of going anywhere near a gym. It’s about capturing that same activewear customer.”-Jill Paclovich, Vice President of Merchandising and Design at Perry Ellis International
