Miami Swim Cruise 13: Tori Praver Swimwear
Tori Praver debuted her Resort ’13 collection at The Webster boutique in Miami Beach on July 21. Guests enjoyed cocktails while viewing the collection in an intimate, low-key setting. The model turned swim designer channeled her personal style into the collection, titled “Ventus Scopis,” Latin for “wind swept.” The collection conveys the feeling of being wherever the wind takes you. “For me, it’s my travels or just my way of life in general,” said Praver, who grew up in Maui and now divides her time between New York and Los Angeles. “All of my prints are based off of that, whether it’s a feather or a wing or a palm tree. It’s all based around that idea and muted tones or colors that remind me of home, the ocean, my travels and things that makes me happy,” she explained. The palette came in sea glass, clove, plum, and butter, Praver’s favorite color. She included her signature ruching and seamless construction and added an intricate ladder detail and a logo charm. Prints are also inspired by artwork created by her fiancé and pro surfer, Danny Fuller.
