Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Miami is everything you would expect it to be and more…. Taking place in South Beach’s renowned Collins Drive it is nothing short of a luxurious experience. Saturday’s agenda was graced by the high fashion of such swimwear collections as Poko Pano, True Religion, Aqua Di Lara and Qiss Qiss. All of which embodied there own unique spin of what high fashion swimwear should be…
The Poko Pano 2011 swimwear collection definitely had a fun tropical feel to it. As the audience sat on benches upon the sand alongside the runway the models strutted with a variety of Amazon inspired pieces by designer Paola Robba. This collection is very fun because of its use of bright colors and mix-n-match pieces. The prints are very interesting because they go along with the Amazon feel, including flower, leaf, and lightning bolt prints Robba also incorporates many earth tones to create a sensual jungle feel. She uses twist bandeau tops for many of her bikini’s which definitely adds to the effect. –Paola Bolaño
