Vilebrequin
French luxury swimwear / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vilebrequin is a French luxury brand specializing in swimwear and ready-to-wear for men and women.[1][2][3][4] The brand was created in 1971 in Saint Tropez by Fred Prysquel, a photographer and sports automobile journalist and Yvette, a fashion designer. One interesting fact is Fred is colorblind and Yvette picks out all the colors. [1][4][5] The brand has stores in Saint-Tropez, Paris, Beverly Hills, Las Vegas, Milan, Monte Carlo, Seoul, New York City and Washington DC,[6] among others.[3][4][7] It was due to Prysquel's passion for automobiles that he named his brand, Vilebrequin, the French word for "crankshaft".
