Every spring season, Gottex sends some of the most stunning and creative swimsuits down the runway. This season, designer Molly Grad's inspiration was quite colorful:

"I was drawn to color this season. Both subtle shades and brighter ones. I was fascinated with how it would then be applied/placed on the body."

For swimwear, colors are the obvious choice. I'm curious if some of these colors will be more natural, following the designers who have shared their inspiration for 2011.

What do you look for when you buy swim each spring?
