More and more we see high fashion swimwear designers contributing to charitable institutions - a move we definitely applaud! From donating a portion of sales from a specific suit to creating an entire line for charity purposes, these are some of the designers and their chosen institutions. So, next time you spend a little more on designer swimsuits, know that it is also for a good cause! And what other excuse does a girl need to being chic with a conscience? :)
