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.
Rita Ora tended to her America’s Next Top Model hosting duties at the show’s NYC studio. For her day of work, she wore a Tommy Hilfiger Pre-Fall 2016 Nautical Print Button Front Shirt and Burgundy Sailor Shorts:
Her shirt and shorts were shown separately in the brand’s Pre-Fall lookbook.
We can tell Rita is going to own the rest of 2016!
Her silk crepe dress features a ruffled, asymmetrical hem, cutout detailing at the waist, a sleeveless silhouette, and an allover contrast white star print.
I liked this!
