Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim: Tibi
Bali meets Cannes. That was the look of the Tibi Cruise 2010 collection. Designer Amy Smilovik presented her sophisticated collection full of Indonesian-inspired prints on July 16 at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim. Smilovik said she pulls inspiration for the swim collection each season from prints she developed her very first season. The 12-year-old line is a regular on the runway in New York and returned for the second season to show in Miami Beach. The line was full of glamorous yet exotic options with its colorful ikat and cirque du soleil prints in a palette of bright colors mixed with muted tones. Key styles on the runway included fashion forward one-pieces with asymmetric styling, classicly cut bikinis and chic caftans, jumpsuits and dresses. —N. Jayne Seward
