Last week I was blessed to have another opportunity to participate in the 2014 Mercedes Benz Fashion week Swim held at the Raleigh Hotel in Miami, FL. Fashion week is the time of the year when designer come out o debut their new collection for the upcoming season and where buyers have the opportunity get the first look at what to expect from the upcoming swimwear season.
Being a part of such an amazing production team helps you to truly appreciate what it takes to make show run so smoothly and team of people it takes to put on a successful show together.
After months, days, hours of preparation to make a 10 in runway show look impeccable is lots of hard work. Even though my first love is the creative part of the show that I enjoy the most, I am really starting to really enjoy the production part. The respect and gratitude you receive from designers and staff is such a rewarding experience. Being able to work hand to hand with a designer helps you to share their vision first hand how their collection came to for wishing. My top three favorite picks from this years Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Swim designers were Catilin Kelly, Delores Cortes and Caffe.
Caitlin Kelly swimwear line was a cross between resort wear and sophisticated swimwear. I truly enjoyed working with such a humble, down to earth, talented designer. Delores Cortes swimwear line was fun, flirty, with lots of fun whimsical patterns. Most of all her handmade accessories were to die for. Be sure to pay very close attention to the details in the videos below. Last but not least Caffe swimwear was what I would called yacht ready wear. Very sexy, stylish, full of bright colors. The very cohesive collections will make any woman feel sexy in a swimsuit. Take a look at my top fab 3 Mercedes Benz Fashion Week swim collections that I feel in love with. I hope you all enjoy watching the shows.
