Miami Swim Week Cruise 2011: Caffeacute; Swimwear at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim
For Cruise 2011, designer Paula Saavedra channeled the 1970s to create her Caffeacute; Swimwear collection. The glam era was a perfect fit for the brand’s trademark jet-setting lifestyle look. The Colombian designer created a chic, sophisticated sensibility with colorful ethnic prints, gold hardware and handmade embellishments. Silhouettes were sexy, including tiny yet figure-flattering bikinis and one-pieces with cut-to-there deacute;colletage. Unique, custom-made accessories, such as oversize straw handbags, added a touch of the designer’s native homeland.—N. Jayne Seward
