Actress Candace Smith makes cool, casual and confident statement with crochet, says Hollywood celebrity stylist Sarah Wallner.

Hollywood, CA -- The crochet craze, which began quietly in 2011 when Marie Clair Magazine published a few colorful crochet offerings from Musotica.com, has exploded onto the Hollywood fashion scene and shows no signs of cooling off this summer, according to top celebrity stylist and fashion designer Sarah Wallner.

“Crochet has caught on among celebrities, models and really any who wants to add sizzle and style to their look,” said Wallner, founder of Musotica, a ‘go to’ website for crochet swimsuits, bikinis, dresses, tops, and cover ups.  “For example, Candace Smith (actress, producer, comedian and model) is currently featured in Mandatory.com and Sports Illustrated ‘Extra Mustard’ wearing our latest crochet swimwear.”

For Smith, who appeared in last year’s hit cop thriller “End of Watch,” and will soon be seen in the highly anticipated independent release "Gimme Shelter,” crochet fashions are a celebration of color, texture, flexibility, self-expression and pure fun.  

“I love crochet, and specifically the Musotica line for a number of reasons,” said Smith, who also appeared in the top rated TV show, “Entourage.”  “Their offerings are not only sexy, but they are also unique and add sophistication to swimwear like I have never seen before.  Whether I’m at the beach or in a photo spread, the first comment I get is about the crochet swimwear and wear I got it… and that speaks volumes!”

Smith, who was a practicing attorney before being crowned Miss Ohio USA and ultimately entering show business, believes that crochet designs & fashions give women a much needed break form work-a-day clothes, and make any outing feel like a vacation – even if it’s just window shopping at the mall.

“When you’re wearing Mustica.com crochet selections, you feel like you are wearing a one-of-a kind suit made just for you – and that you have been transported to somewhere exotic and glamorous.  This is no doubt why they are so special,” she added.  

Wallner, who started designing her own crochet collection because she couldn’t find what she wanted for her celebrity client styling assignments, believes the sustainability of crochet has everything to do with form finally catching up to function.

“At last, women can wear a crochet bikini at the beach or pool and actually swim in them without having to worry about wardrobe malfunctions,” she laughed.  “They are easy-to-care-for and feature new fabrics and vibrant colors designed for active lifestyles – from swimsuits to cute crochet tops ideal for a casual Saturday afternoon lunch.”

Wallner also believes that women are attracted to crochet fashion because of the limitless possibilities.

“They’re extremely versatile,” said the Italian born stylist, who also styles covers for Playboy and Fitness Rx Magazine.  “They can be worn as lingerie, beneath jackets, with jeans, as cover-ups, dresses, skirts, shorts … the list goes on and on!  As my Hollywood clients and customers are quickly discovering, adding crochet is fantastic way to give any outfit color, texture and flair.”

According to Wallner, her classically inspired crochet swimsuits come in a huge array of colors, styles – almost all with strategically flattering cutouts. “Today’s hand-made, intricate detail and ease of care has made our crochet lineup among our top sellers.”

Wallner’s collection is made of a cotton, nylon blend, and can be ordered in a growing number of colors, including black, white, off white, mustard yellow, yellow, coral, brown, baby blue, baby pink, and purple.

Yolanda Foster spotted putting the chic into swimwear with crochet fashions from Mustica.com.


Los Angeles, CA – Former model Yolanda Foster, a featured personality of Housewives of Beverly Hills, recently proved that classy remains sexy as ever when she was featured in BigBlondeHair.com wearing a one-piece crochet swimsuit from Musotica.com poolside in Las Vegas.  

According to popular Hollywood stylist and fashion designer Sarah Wallner  (credited with the surging popularity of crochet fashions and swimsuits), the Foster photo was the latest in a long list of celebrities turning to crochet to add color, added “pop” and flexibility to their wardrobes.

“Crochet swimwear has an endless number of amazing fashion applications,” said the Italian born stylist, who also styles covers for Playboy and Fitness Rx Magazine.  “They can be worn as lingerie, beneath jackets, with jeans, as cover-ups, dresses, skirts, and shorts.    As my Hollywood clients and customers have already discovered, adding crochet is a fantastic way to give any outfit extra personality, color, texture and flair.”

Musotica.com has become a popular Hollywood destination website, partly due to its large selection of crochet designs.  “The swimsuits in particular have become extremely popular with everybody from actors and models… to soccer moms and any women interested in adding creativity, texture and sexiness to any outfit.”

Wallner started the resurgence in crochet when she discovered there weren’t any suitable crochet clothing (a fashion relic of the sixties) on the market – so she set out to create her own lineup of new and improved crochet fashions for her high profile celebrity clients.  “They are sexy, figure flattering, stylish and extremely easy to maintain these days,” she says.  “Best of all, they are just as eye-appealing during the winter as they in the summer.”

Wallner says there’s a reason so many Hollywood stars and celebrities are being photographed wearing Musotica.com’s crochet selections – they are extremely photogenic.

“Once a client starts experimenting with crochet fashions – she wants to own them all,” she said.  “The good news is they are very economical… so you don’t have to be a movie star or model to incorporate them into your fashion style.”

Wallner says the celebrity website summed it up best when talking about Yolanda Foster’s usage of Musotica.com’s crochet fashions.  “Keeping it classy poolside in Vegas can be a challenge, but Yolanda Foster has poolside chic down pat.  She doesn’t wear a bikini by the pool; that could be too sexy.  She doesn’t wear a traditional one-piece by the pool; that could be too boring.  She wears the perfect, white crochet one-piece from Musotica.com with a great casual look.  Call it a day and copy her exact look, because this sense of style doesn’t come along too often.”

According to Wallner, Musotica’s crochet collection is made of a cotton/nylon blend, and can be ordered in a growing number of colors, including black, white, off-white, mustard yellow, yellow, coral, brown, baby blue, baby pink, purple – and many other colors.  Our lineup of crochet fashions features new fabrics and vibrant colors designed for the active Southern California lifestyle – from swimming… to a night out on the town.”

Parade of crochet summer fashions, ushered in by Musotica.com last year, continues to sizzle with latest LeAnn Rimes sightings in coral bikini.


Parade of crochet summer fashions, ushered in by Musotica.com last year, continues to sizzle with latest LeAnn Rimes sightings in coral bikini.

Los Angeles, CA – Multiple Grammy Award winner Leann Rimes is the latest in a growing number of top singers, actors and models flaunting figure-flattering crochet fashions this summer.  What began as an occasional photo of an actress or model wearing crochet fashions at a Hollywood party, or on a Malibu Beach, has turned into a full-scale style revival, according to Sarah Wallner, founder of Musotica.com.

Wallner is credited by many fashion industry observers with playing a large part in reigniting the crochet movement when Marie Claire featured her classically inspired, yet versatile collection of crochet swimwear in a special magazine insert.  One of Hollywood’s most sought-after celebrity stylists, Wallner believes it was just a matter of time before crochet caught on for good after the fashion fad faded in the seventies. 

“Crochet has certainly come of age and is looking smarter and sexier than ever,” said Wallner, who believes women from all walks of life have the right to dress like celebrities, without having to overpay for Hollywood A-list apparel.  “Today’s crochet fashions don’t only look amazing as swimwear in and out of the water – they can be worn as cover-ups with jeans, dresses, skirts, shorts – you name it.”

The Italian-born fashion expert is particularly proud to point out that the same style that country artist LeAnn Rimes was recently photographed wearing – a Musotica.com coral bikini – will also be featured in the June 25th issue of In Touch Magazine. 

Wallner believes that the heightened attention coming from such superstar celebrities as Leann Rimes donning crochet fashions from Musotica’s website is not only good for her online business… but for women in general. 
“There’s no question that crochet fashions are here to stay, because they’re perfect for any woman who wants to add a splash of color, pizazz, sexiness and style to their wardrobe,” she said.  “I design my website’s lineup of crochet wear in easy-to-maintain cotton and nylon blends.  And as for colors, well… the rainbow is literally the limit.  We feature colors from black, white, off white, gold and mustard yellow to coral, brown, baby blue, baby pink and purple.”

Marie Claire features Musotica's Crochet Bikini!


Hollywood, California – Social and fashion barometer Marie Claire Magazine is the latest indicator that crochet bikinis have made an improbable comeback since they were first introduced in the seventies. At the vanguard of the new crochet bikini movement is Musotica.com, a popular sexy fashion, lingerie and fitness wear destination.

Featured prominently in the April issue of Marie Claire, within the Flirt Catalog insert, crochet bikini sightings are becoming more and more numerous – from the white sand beaches of Santa Monica to Rodeo Drive.

“Finally, women can wear a crochet bikini at the beach or pool and actually swim in them without the fear of sudden exposure,” Wallner said. “Our lineup of crochet bikinis feature new fabrics and vibrant colors designed for the active Southern California lifestyle – from swimming… to Stand Up Paddle Boarding… to a night out on the town.”

Wallner says that women absolutely love the endless options and flirty possibilities that crochet fashions provide.

“They’re extremely versatile,” said the Italian born stylist, who also styles covers for Playboy and Fitness Rx Magazine. “They can be worn as lingerie, beneath jackets, with jeans, as cover-ups, dresses, skirts, shorts … you name it! As my Hollywood clients and customers are quickly discovering, adding crochet is fantastic way to give any outfit extra personality, color, texture and flare.”

According to Wallner, these classically inspired crochet swimsuits come in a huge array of colors, styles – and almost all with strategically flattering cutouts. “Today’s hand-made, intricate detail and ease of care has made our crochet lineup among our top sellers.”

Ironically, Wallner, who also operates a wholesale division for its burgeoning crochet fashions and entire apparel lineup, says she was actually forced into designing her own crochet collection because she couldn’t find anything on the market she liked enough for her famous Hollywood clients.

“Our Musotica.com crochet collection is made of a cotton, nylon blend, and can be ordered in a growing number of colors, including black, white, off white, mustard yellow, yellow, coral, brown, baby blue, baby pink, and purple.

“Above all, they are sexy, figure flattering, stylish and a blast to wear,” she added. “I’m very proud that Marie Claire and the Flirt Catalog thought enough of our collection to feature examples in the April issue.”
