FIG. 1 illustratesswimwear 100, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Theswimwear 100 comprises of anouter layer 102 and aninner layer 104. - The
outer layer 102 is made of fabric adapted to display anartwork 106. Preferably, the outer layer is of white colour. In another embodiment the outer layer includes one or more of black, blue, purple, orange, brown, pink, yellow, green or red colours or any suitable colour/s as defined by a colour matching system such as the Pantone Matching System (PMS) or the CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) 4-colour system or process. However, it is pertinent to mention that theouter layer 102 can be of any material which facilitates display of theartwork 106 and of the colour which enhances display of theartwork 106 on theouter layer 102. Theouter layer 102 is preferably water repellent or hydrophobic such that it repels water on contact. - The
inner layer 104 is made of fabric which obscure light from passing through theinner layer 106. Further, theinner layer 104 is in the form of a lining and is of black colour. However, it is pertinent to mention that theinner layer 104 can be of any material which assist in blocking light from 1-100% and facilitating improved appearance of theartwork 106 on theouter layer 102. Further, theinner layer 104 can be of any colour which helps in desired appearance of theartwork 106 on theouter layer 102.
