Sneak Peak at Spring 2012 Swimwear Trends….
We just got back from the Miami Swim Show, and there were some very exciting trends and new brands we are in love with! Associate buyer Hillary and I met with countless brands, attended the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, and of course soaked up the sun in South Beach. Here are our top 5 favorite finds for the upcoming season:
1. Lingerie-inspired corset tops
2. Crochet
3. 50′s inspired high waisted bottoms
4. Fringe, fringe, and more fringe
5. Brazilian cut cheeky bottoms, the skimpier the better
Take a look at what we saw on our whirlwind week of swimwear fashion:

The Latin influence was everywhere, as we saw brands like Luli Fama present a vibrant collection of bright colors, complete with congos drums and samba dancers. Check out a clip from the Luli Fama Fashion Show:
