A halter triangle top from Salt Swimwear

Salt Swimwear is a line of one-piece and two-piece swimsuits that was only developed in recent years by fashion designer Layla Pakzad. Even in the short period of time that this niche fashion line has been around, it has gained some serious attention from the media. This has been due in no small part to the fact that there are a number of celebrities who have taken a liking to the design and who can be seen spotted on the world’s most glamorous beaches wearing one of these swimsuits. Luckily for you, they’re not so outrageously priced that they’re designed for celebrities only so if you still haven’t gotten brave enough to purchase this year’s swimsuit, this might be a line that you’ll want to take a closer look at before the cooler weather is upon us.

So feast your eyes on these daring models, more pictures after the jump, and if you want to see the whole thing cruise on over to the body painting gallery.
