British model David Gandy has announced the launch of his debut swimwear range for Marks & Spencer's Autograph brand.

The eight piece collection, designed and modelled by Gandy, is available next month. Gandy, who released an underwear range for Autograph last year, commented 'The underwear collection has been really well received so launching swimwear this summer seemed like the next natural step. I was inspired by images of Hollywood stars wearing beautifully made swimwear in the 60s, and by my love of tailoring which I've incorporated in the detail by including the use of side adjusters, contrasting buttons and also the hounds-tooth print which has become a signature of the range'.
