HAUTE BIKINI
A Tyler Rose bikini is sexy, sweet and stylish -- just like its designer, Newport Beach-based Nichole Carroll. The talented and super-friendly Carroll says when you wear one of her suits you can "walk poolside like it’s a runway."
Nichole designs glamorous bikinis and sells them to local upscale boutiques. Already her line is a favorite of stylish fashion haunts, including Erica Dee in Corona del Mar and Talulah G at Fashion Island. Her newest resort line, "I Heart Hollywood," is an ultra glamorous and retro line. Look like a million in a leopard print "Jayne" bikini, a black white polka dot "Beverly," or a sexy "Whiskey" snakeskin print.
Wearing a Tyler Rose suit is like sharing a part of Nichole Carroll’s life. All of her suits are named after her girlfriends, places, or people she's been influenced by. And even her company name is a combination of her brother's and sisters' names. Close friends provide Carroll with feedback on what sort of suit they’d like to wear and she does the rest.
Carroll hand selects stylish fabrics in Los Angeles, and then cuts and designs her suits in Balboa. Bikini tops and bottom sold separately for perfect fits, in sizes 1 to 4 (Carroll knows women don’t want to be called a large). Adorable prints, fabrics and each bikini is different.
