Effortless elegance: mastering classy beach style


Today we introduce The High Waist Bikini by Cinzia Cortesi Couture.

This swimsuit is the most stylish and effortlessly cool bikini you’ll find. Its timeless aesthetic is retrò but fashion-forward at the same time. Indeed, it stands out for its unique design.

The High Waist bikini: essential and timeless


About the design:
Cut in a flattering shape. The bottom brief makes a point on style and elegance rather than coverage. However, you can fold it once or twice, so you will not give up your tanning while having multiple styling options.
The top is a triangle with removable padding. We appreciate this option, so we can remove the padding because we prefer a more natural look. Also, the bikini fully doubled in order to provide that couture structure.

About the material:
The material is lycra sensitive, which is the top quality lycra. In fact, it’s very soft on the skin. Specifically, it is a high-quality fabric that will not wear out over time. The hand is dense and looks like a crepe. But, even if solid, it has good drying properties and is comfortable to wear.

About the colour:
Khaki green: an earth colour which is a classic shade for a timeless style.

Styling tips: wear a small chain waist belt over the bottom brief and some bangles for a pool party. Also, an unbuttoned oversized men’s shirt with rolled-up sleeves over the bikini is perfect for a lunch or aperitivo on the beach.

The High Waist Bikini is a beautiful piece of Made in Italy design and craft. Indeed, the figure is smooth and classy. And as the designer, Cinzia Cortesi, says – “this is not for everyone.”
We agree with her, that is why we like it even more!

A Conversation with Cinzia Cortesi

Reading Time: 3 minutes


Cinzia Cortesi Couture is a new Italian beachwear brand we introduced this season. In fact, after much research, her refined style and timeless aesthetic attracted our attention. There’s a touch of couture in her work.

Since we wanted to know more about the brand to introduce it to our audience, we interviewed the designer, Cinzia Cortesi.

The interview with Cinzia Cortesi


• When did you launch your brand?
“In 2019, my first release was during the pandemic. Can you imagine? I said to myself: if I can do it now, nothing will stop me. Despite the lockdown, I delivered all the orders, and customers were happy with my brand. Indeed, over time they increased their orders.”

• Can you tell us something about your background?
“I come from clothing, high end/luxury brands. I’m a pattern maker, and I consulted for many years for Genny, Prada, Bally and other brands. Being a pattern maker, I’m obsessed with the fit, it must be perfect. And I have a sense of giving structure to my garments.”

• Why beachwear?
“I started from scratch, alone. So I wanted to do something manageable, and beachwear has one release a year. But, I intended to make something more structured, more habbillé than pure beachwear. I wanted an essential and researched line to perform my pattern making skills.”

About quality, fashion and social media


• What kind of materials do you use?
“I put a lot of attention to the quality of materials. My swimsuits are made of lycra sensitive, which is the top quality lycra. In fact, it’s very soft on the skin. Specifically, it’s a high-quality fabric that will not wear out over time. The hand is dense and looks like a crepe. But, even if solid, it has good drying properties, and is comfortable to wear.”

• What do you think of the fashion world today?
“Now fashion is only about logos, everyone is doing the same. There are beautiful things, but there’s a lot of garbage, really a lot! And even because of social media, I see many improvised brands. I’ve been working in fashion for over 30 years, and it’s always more complicated. But I like beautiful things, and I like making beautiful things. This is why I still work in fashion.”

• You touched on social media. What do you think about that?
“I keep an eye on social media, I have to… but I understand they must be dosed. Because if you follow them, you get caught up by a caravan that wants to dictate fashion. And, if you do that, you cannot express yourself, your authentic style.” 

• What do you think about sustainability?
“As it is now, it’s just marketing! A way to clean our conscience.”

In conclusion, her company is small, allowing her to keep everything under control. Production is handmade and done exclusively on a made-to-order basis. The quality of the materials is excellent, and the fit is absolutely perfect. This is Made in Italy!

A Circle Out Of The Mainstream

Breaking the mold: words to inspire change


With words, we aim to foster a culture for a circle out of the mainstream. Our style may not reach the masses, but it isn’t meant to, it’s not for them. They prefer just pictures.

In our posts, we touch on several topics we like to discuss with our community, not necessarily related to fashion, hoping to provide a thought-provoking perspective. Also, we offer descriptions of the design, the quality, materials and colours of the garments we select. Those detailed notes represent a way to celebrate the brands’ creativity and the uniqueness of those pieces, things you don’t find everywhere.

Though we try to give detailed descriptions, one thing is difficult to provide via the web: the touch of the fabrics, as the feel on your skin. Which, for us, has become a real fixation. Indeed, those who had the chance to buy our selections over time are familiar with our obsession with materials. So, when we say “it feels good on your skin”, they know what it means. But, in the case of those in touch with us, it’s a matter of trust, which we build on actual conversations and needs time to grow.

For people who happen to read our blog posts or maybe find us on Instagram, that place where everything is possible, perhaps it’s not easy to perceive the quality. Impossible to feel the hand of the fabrics.

However, searching for specific standards for clothing and lifestyle choices means coming from a certain mindset. You don’t take everything, but you are selective. And you are part of that tiny niche that doesn’t want to be the photocopy of others.

And so, this is for you–suite123 Milano is not a place for ordinary choices. The world is full of that! You don’t need our expertise and research to get mass products.

Through words, we want to promote an alternative culture, a circle out of the mainstream. And we research meaningful garments in limited quantities as a way to express it.

The Bicolour One-Piece

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Timeless elegance on the beach


Today we introduce The Bicolour One-Piece by Cinzia Cortesi Couture.

Cinzia Cortesi is a new Italian beachwear brand we added this season. Well, it took a lot of time to find it. Indeed, we have seen so many brands, but we weren’t satisfied. For the quality or the design and, in many cases, for the image of the woman they propose.

Unfortunately, one image dominates the scene: fake lips, fake boobs, and too much of everything. Also frequently advertised by starlette or the new Insta celebrities. That depiction, to us, means nothing. And if you have another idea of a woman and don’t feel represented by that image, finding something different isn’t an easy task.

And so, we searched until we saw Cinzia Cortesi Couture. Et voilà, her essential and refined style caught our attention!

About the material:

Consume Less: Embrace Less, Live More!

How to reduce our impact on the planet


In order to reduce our impact on the planet, the solution proposed is to purchase sustainable products. So the industries believe, or so they want to make us believe.

But the truth is different. If we don’t start from the assumption that consuming less is at the base of a sustainable lifestyle, we will not make any progress.

Indeed, there’s no sustainable product, recycled or upcycled, green or bio. Or add whatever label marketing will launch to convince consumers that those products are better than others. Not a single one of these products, nor all of these labels combined, will come to our aid.

Even if they truly are better, sustainable products alone won’t change anything. Why? They will not solve the issue simply because that is not enough.

Our lifestyle has an impact on the environment, and in order to sustain it, we are exploiting the planet. Given that, will our impact on the planet be reduced if people consume tons of sustainable goods? It seems very unlikely.

Consume less: this is how to reduce our impact on the planet


A sharp reduction in consumption is the way to bring about systemic change. If we want to reduce our daily devastation, only one thing will be beneficial: consume less.

Of course, this is about all aspects of our lifestyle. So, reducing the energy and water we use, oil consumption, heating systems, planes, cars, etc. Then, of course, we will need the rest. Meaning sustainable, recycled, upcycled, green or bio.

This also means that we have the power in our hands. Indeed, consuming less requires action on our part.

No brands will ever tell us so, even if this is the only possibility that makes sense. They will continue making sustainable products, filling the world with new sustainable garbage while depleting natural resources.

Sustainability for a dying planet is meaningless!
