With her diverse background, Crystal Jin brings an east-meets-wild-west swimwear collection for 2012.

Like Jin, a midwestern girl now based out of New York, her collection is modern, but looks to the foundations of what Crystal Jin swimwear is all about: urban sophistication. Blown out beachy curls and a spunky western vibe with feather hair clips and turquoise, fringe, and rustic jewlery, this runway presentation had a definite pulse, much like the streets of New York. A plethora of prints and a muted yet varied color palette, these suits are meant to stand out from the exotic  beaches of the Caribbean, Spain and Portugal, to the lakes of Minnesota, Jin's inspirations shine in this beautiful, versatile, and wearable collection.
