Esther Williams , Princess Mermaid
Esther Williams, an American competitive swimmer and movie actress who left us this past week June 6th, she was 91 years old. I remember watching her films as a child and was simply memorized on how she made swimming look ABSOLUTELY beautiful.
So I was thinking about the era (1940 through 1950) and the styles of the swim suits which were timeless, wondering whether I could find a swimsuit which also matched that era today! Well Kore Swim, does that!
Kore Swim, founded in 2011 by sisters Jessica and Nicole Tracy. Their vision on celebrating a woman’s curves is shown in their designs and very stylish. www.korewear.com/collections/2013-products.
So as we think about the late beautiful Esther Williams, let’s also say a thank you for her contribution to the art of swimming, for being the reason synchronizing swimming is an Olympic competitive sport today and undeniably making the swimsuit a fashion statement in its own category!

Film historian Leonard Maltin called her “a major, major star, a tremendous box office attraction.” For her contribution to the motion-picture industry, Williams has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1500 Vine Street.
