It seems like Bar Refaeli is going down the same path as super models Heidi Klum and Elle McPhearson – by launching her own lingerie/swimwear brand! The Israeli model shared a picture on her Instagram with the caption: “Coming soon…my swimwear brand for Hoodie!“ to announce a collaboration with the retailer. Well, if there’s anyone who knows how to look good in a bikini, it would be her!

If you’re off to hotter temperatures in the near future, make it a point to pack a pair of strappy bikini bottoms. Keep tan lines to a minimum, and add that flirty touch to your swimwear ensemble that will earn you many envious looks at the beach!

Bar’s swimwear brand will be released in the near future, and by the looks of it we believe it’ll be an immediate sell out! Click in to see her current collection at Hoodies (right).

Rather than showing off her blossoming baby bump has she has in recent snaps, the 30-year-old star showed off her pert posterior.

Posing in just her underwear, the former girlfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio stuck her tongue out as she seductively looked over her shoulder.

However, being taken in a bathroom, the star’s bump could be seen in the mirror in front of her.

The photo comes after she showed off her changing figure in a figure-hugging swimsuit last week.

Bar self-deprecatingly captioned the shot: ‘The best example for how NOT to picture a pregnant lady!’

The blonde beauty – who used to date Leonardo DiCaprio – showed off her fuller figure in the sizzling swimwear which showcased her pert posterior and toned legs.

Arching her back, she placed one hand on her still trim waist and raised the other in the air in the moody black and white shot.

And on Saturday, Bar, who announced her pregnancy on New Year’s Eve, excited her 2.2million Instagram fans even more with a collage snap.

Gushing over the photo, Bar wrote: ‘Like mother like daughter?’ 

Bar, who married Israeli businessman in her home country last September, has been keeping her followers up to date with her burgeoning pregnancy.

The blonde stunner recently showed off her bump in a white mini dress as she clutched her tummy for a Factory 54 fashion show.

Wearing her caramel locks in a sleek ponytail, the beauty added a slick of berry lipstick to her look, captioning the shot: ‘Her first runway appearance.’ 

Last summer, Bar talked about her desire to have a big family in an interview with Hello! Fashion Monthly. 

She said: ‘I think this will be a decade of family…I come from a family of four children,’ she told the publication. 

‘A lot of mums could read this and think, “Yeah, try having one first”. Hopefully, I’ll have a big family, but I’ll take it one by one.’

Borough man develops ‘smart bra’ to analyze biometrics

STONINGTON — “Smart” wristbands that track biometrics are old news for tech-savvy entrepreneur Kevin Logan. His borough-based company, Body Biolytics, has moved on to “smart bras” that track the wearer’s body signals much more accurately and precisely.

“Someone might not want to wear a wristband that they’re not used to, but everyone wears clothes and especially undergarments,” he said. “Integrated sensors in clothing is where the future of biometrics-tracking technology is headed.”


The idea for the smart bra came about when Logan ran into his high school buddy Bruce Prescott, the owner of Zoe Co. Professional Bra Fitters in Westerly and Concord, N.H. They started chatting about the idea of a bra with integrated sensors, and after their conversation, Prescott invited him to attend a lingerie show with him in New York City.

At the show, Logan met the heads of numerous lingerie companies and ended up partnering with Pakching Ng, founder of Freemi.io, a Vancouver, British Columbia, smart-garment technology firm in the global lingerie industry.

Since the two started working together last year, they’ve come up with a stress-monitoring bra they believe will be marketable to the everyday woman.

As a Samsung developer, Body Biolytics started doing research and development trials last year using Samsung wristbands embedded with optical and galvanic skin-response sensors to develop its own biometrics for heart rate, respiration rate and hydration. These and other sensors can now be integrated in smart fabrics, opening the door for tracking a woman’s stress level through a bra platform. The bra pairs up with a smartphone application where users will initially indicate their feelings or stress levels. The app uses machine learning to correlate physiological patterns from the sensors with user-supplied stress levels to determine a unique baseline stress model for each woman. Once the model is learned, user input is eliminated and real-time stress levels are provided by the app to the wearer. The woman can then do something to reduce her stress, such as breathing exercises, going for a run or taking a yoga session.

During the initial experimental trials, Body Biolytics engaged a small group of women to place sensors on four areas of their chest. The women also wore a microphone that recorded their breathing for a comparison of how accurate the optical sensors were in estimating respiration rate on the skin.

“Compared to the acoustic data from the microphone, our software was less than a half a breath off. We’re really excited about the high accuracy.” Logan said. “We also spoke with the group of women who all said they would use our smart bra if it looked good, was comfy and was useful. We aren’t targeting the athletic women, though they could certainly wear one. We’re trying to target the everyday woman who wants to learn more about her body, be more in-tune with it, and wants to be proactive about her health in new ways that our technology can provide.”

At the moment, the smart bra prototype is being manufactured by Freemi.io and once Logan does more trials to see how it works, Prescott said Freemi.io will be able to introduce it through the lingerie industry’s primary sales channels, the annual lingerie shows in New York City and Las Vegas.

“We are excited to partner with Body Biolytics and utilize their prize-winning technology to create our wearable-tech stress-management platform,” Ng said in a report. “Our goal is to become a major player in the global $12 billion lingerie industry. Our products will join a rapidly growing smart clothing category that includes industry giants like Google, Nike, Under Armour, and Adidas, as well as smart-bra companies like the Canadian firm OMSignal, Victoria’s Secret, Sensilk, Sensoria, and a host of others.”

Aside from the smart bra, Body Biolytics is also researching what sorts of wearable smart clothing would be useful for tracking the biometrics of first-responders such as firefighters, EMTs and police, as well as tracking the location and vital signs of elderly with dementia or Alzheimer’s or for nonverbal children with autism.

“Along with everything we can already track with wearable tech, such as heart rate, respiratory rate and motion patterns, we’re developing software that also tracks a person’s hydration levels. This could be a real game changer in biometric technology for the military and athletes, as well as for elderly and children,” Logan said. “This idea for wearable biometric technology is so much bigger than just the bras. This is only the beginning.”
