Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim: Caffe Swimwear
Caffe Swimwear debuted for the first time on the U.S. runway on July 16 at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim. The Colombian–based company is carried in eleven countries around the world and is now set to break into the U.S. market. “I think this is a good platform to enter the U.S. in the right way,” explained designer Paula Saavedra of her decision to show during MBFW Swim. The brand caters to the woman who has a penchant for traveling to exotic places and this season’s ’60s inspired bohemian styling is sure to hit the mark. The collection was full of colorful vintage floral prints, intricate beaded embellishments and chic over-size beach bags. There were plenty of options ranging from the skinniest Brazilian-cut bikinis to one-pieces with plunging necklines, intricate cutouts and asymmetric styling. Perfect for Saavedra’s stylishly chic customer who enjoys a bit of poolside luxury. —N. Jayne Seward
