Miami Swim Week wraps up today and one of the designers who showed her sultry swimsuits during the fashion week is none other than Draya Michele. Her latest designs for Mint Swim are bright, sexy, body-baring, but functional.

One-piece swimsuits (my personal favorite) featured cutout detailing and high cuts for an 80’s and early 90’s feel: on-trend with what fashion is showing on their runways. For simpler bikinis, they packed a punch with bright color and tie detailing.

High-waist bottoms, strapless bandeaus, one-shoulder tops, and timeless triangles rounded out the separates.

Prints included a Summer-perfect floral that screamed “resort” and a jungle-inspired pattern that certainly turned more than a few heads.

And a few cover-up options were presented in the form of an open-knit romper and off-the-shoulder top that could have doubled as day wear.

Overall, the collection was strong and a quite impressive effort from Michele. The line already has the celebrity buzz, but will buyers actually invest? Only time will tell.
