Miami Swim Cruise 13: Agua Bendita
“Lovely Heroes” was the theme for Agua Bendita’s Cruise collection, which debuted on July 20 at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim. Created by Catalina Álvarez and Mariana Hinestroza, the Colombian brand is known for its colorful designs and hand-crafted details. This season, the pair paid tribute to the 700 artisans and families who collaborate to create the brand’s unique pieces. To capture the hero theme, a range of military-, nautical- and cowboy-themed pieces was designed with high-tech, modern and multi-cultural appeal. Though thoughtful, the collection was playful and dynamic, chock-full of colorful digital, Navajo and conversational prints. Standout pieces included a graphic print one-piece with neon banding, a flirty skirted bottom paired with a Western shirt and a high-waisted nautical print suit with a striped cardigan.
