Miami Swim Cruise 13: Nicolita
“Havana Nights” was the theme for this year’s Nicolita collection by Christina Milian. The brand returned to the runway at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim on July 20 with celeb power, thanks to actress and singer Milian. Designer Nicole Di Rocco collaborated with her fellow Cuban to create the collection, which added a sexy twist to the brand’s signature retro ‘40s Cuban-inspired look.
Curvy silhouettes combined with rich fabrics in metallics, leopard, black and jewel tones. There was something for every body type, including halters paired with skimpy bottoms, maillots with cutouts and bandeaus that topped high-waist bottoms. Models donned bangs with retro pinup-girl styling while suits, including a black monokini, had modern-day appeal. Jeweling, ruffles and lace added a touch of glamour evoking the “Havana Nights” theme, and soft pastels were suitable for daytime on the beach. Styles were flirty such as a bandeau top and bottom decorated with bows while a high-waisted pant added subtle sophistication for poolside glamour.
