Miami Swim Week Cruise 2011: Beach Bunny Swimwear at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim
There are good girls and there are bad girls. For her 2011 collection, designer Angela Chittenden whipped up suits for both. At Beach Bunny Swimwear’s July 16 show at The Raleigh during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim in Miami Beach, Chittenden showed swimwear that bounced between have been inspired perfect for 1980’s music video vixens (lots of wet-look fabrications, asymmetrical cutouts, tassels, lace and animal prints), suits that are more suited for uptown girls lounging poolside (understated but super sexy silhouettes, minimalist embellishments, muted colors and lingerie details) and suits with playful details and sporty silhouettes. Standout pieces from the Irvine, Calif.–based line included unique maillot styles and a collection of suits that featured oversized crochet insets.
Also featured on the runway were suits designed by reality stars, Kim, Kourt and Khloe Kardashian.—Erin Barajas
