New York Fashion Week: Rosa Cha

Models “walked on water” as they strut their sexy swim suits down the runway. The runway gave the illusion that the models were gracefully walking on water. The collection consisted of typical swimwear pieces: the sexy one-piece, the body-baring bikini, and a sheer cover. It was the color palette of pretty salmon, pistachio, and white with the occasional eye-popping pattern of shapes that captures the eye. Although designer Amir Slama used soft colors and the typical swimsuit pieces, it was the detail of the designs that stood out. Slama used luxurious embellishments, such as Swarovski crystals that adorned the straps of some of the pretty-colored bikinis. Leather belts, big cuffs, and metal rings also served as great accessories that highlighted the lovely simplicity of the collection. Slama also used subtle folds that emphasized the structured swimwear of his collection. Slama used subtle amounts of sexiness from his Sao Paolo roots to create a swimwear that was both sexy and pretty and sure to be a hit on the beach this upcoming spring and summer.
