Editor's Take
Picture this: you're strolling down the cobblestone streets of Saint-Tropez in 1971, and some photographer named Fred Prysquel sketches out a swimsuit design on a paper tablecloth at a café. Fast-forward 50+ years, and that napkin doodle has become one of the most recognizable luxury swimwear brands on the planet.
Vilebrequin isn't just another beachwear company-it's basically the Rolls-Royce of swim trunks. The brand was created in 1971 in Saint-Tropez by Fred Prysquel, a photographer and sports automobile journalist, and Yvette, a fashion designer. Here's a fun fact that'll make you smile: Fred is colorblind; thus Yvette picks out the colors. Talk about a perfect partnership.
What sets Vilebrequin apart isn't just the premium price tag (though yes, you'll definitely feel it). Carefully crafted in their workshops, Vilebrequin men's swimwear embodies ancestral expertise: 32 steps are required for their creation, starting with the choice of materials. They have opted for emerised polyamide and polyester because of their elasticity and comfort. These fabrics undergo a specific treatment to give each men's swimsuit a soft touch, an unmatched drape, and quick-drying capabilities.

But here's where it gets interesting-Vilebrequin isn't stuck in the past. In 2012, Vilebrequin was acquired by the American company G-III Apparel Group, Ltd., which also licenses Calvin Klein, DKNY, and Karl Lagerfeld Paris. Roland Herlory, prior general director for Hermès Latin America and Caribbean, became the new CEO. And they've expanded way beyond just men's trunks. In 2013, after more than 40 years in menswear, Vilebrequin launched their first ladies' line and extended their product offering to also include resort wear as well as luxury beach accessories for both men and women.
Today, you'll find Vilebrequin stores from Beverly Hills to Porto Cervo, each one feeling like a little slice of the French Riviera. As of 2014, Vilebrequin is present across 5 continents and in 52 countries with more than 150 stores. Whether you're lounging poolside at a five-star resort or just want to feel like you are, Vilebrequin has mastered the art of making summer last all year long.
