Miami Swim Cruise 13: A.Z. Araujo
Brazilians have a knack for designing sexy swimwear. But Brazilian-born A.Z Araujo planned to make a sexy swim line with a special Rio de Janeiro panache. Araujo’s sexy and humorous Spring/Summer 2013 line took a bow July 23 at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim.
The show started with zaftig woman in a Carmen Miranda headdress dancing to a samba, then segued to a woman wearing a floral white bikini top and high-waisted floral shorts. There were guys wearing knee-high pants made out of the same material. Guys and girls wore swim suits made out of the same hot orange– and red-colored pattern, and a one-piece featured a “black parrot” print embellished with Swarovski crystals and a bow. The show ended with Araujo walking the runway to take a bow and then samba with a model and the woman in a Carmen Miranda headdress.
