Glamour Back in Fashion at Miami Swimsuit Shows

Filed under: Apparel

At Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Miami designers just showed the latest looks in swimwear for Spring 2010. "Old glamour is back in a big way" declared the Miami Herald of the numerous collections on display at the chic Raleigh Hotel in South Beach. Check out the video above for some highlights - you'll enjoy it even if you can't wear any of the suits yourself. Other trends of note to emerge from the round of eye-popping events, according to the Herald: hot pink is in, ditto transparent material; as for shape it was "all about the bandeau and the monokini (attached bikini) or cutout one-pieces," while high-waisted and ruffled looks made a splash as well. Many of the suits were "sexy in a feminine way - not overtly flashing a lot of skin." Oh well.

Tara Matthews Frog Bikini

Summer carries on and, as we finally come to the height of the season, it might be time for a new bathing suit. If bold colors and prints don't suit you, you don't have to settle for something boring, or plain. The Frog Bikini by Tara Matthews is dressed up with lovely frogs, embroidered on both the top and bottom of the two-piece olive swimsuit. The frog is done in gold thread, with tiny jeweled eyes; it has a high level of interest and detail, but does not attract unnecessary attention to the suit itself in the way a gaudy pattern would. Besides, the frog is adorable and there is hardly a better animal to portray on a swimsuit than an amphibian. Price: $385.
