Miami Swim Week Cruise 2011: Tyler Rose at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim
Tyler Rose designer Nichole Carroll loves the ’80s, and she has a full swim collection to prove it. At the Tyler Rose fashion show at The Raleigh during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim on July 19, Carroll sent a cadre of ’80s-video-vixen suits down the runway. Wet-look fabrics, saturated animal prints in colors not found in nature, tassels, lace and an abundance of cutouts were paired with sky-high heels and out-to-there hair. But not all of her suits played to the era’s bad-girl image. Sweet pink and pastel suits, ruffles, polka dots, and rainbows evoked a cinematic, John Hughes heroine take on the era.—Erin Barajas
