New York Fashion Week Highlights
Fashion Week swept New York City last week as designers showed their Spring 2013 collections. Here are a few highlights from the shows:
Color was the statement at the Diane von Furstenberg SS2013 show. Color-blocked combinations of pinks, acid greens and yellows floated down the runways.
Cut-out dresses were the rule at Alexander Wang. Prada started the belly-baring trend with cropped bralets and knee length skirts at their SS2012 show. For SS2013 many New York designers including Wang, Calvin Klein and Cushnie et Ochs made a more wearable version of this trend with dresses featuring cuts outs at the mid-drift.
Oscar de la Renta is known for opulent (almost stuffy) femininity. This season his collection was injected with a a girlie edge. Suits and evening gowns in salmon pink, magenta and teal were a welcome surprise. However, not everyone was enamored with the collection. NY Times fashion writer Cathy Horyn gave it a not-so-kind review calling Mr. de la Renta a "hot dog" and the show "wonderfully cantankerous." De la Renta shot back with an open letter to Ms. Horyn in WWD yesterday calling her a "2-day old hamburger" and ending this season on a hilarious note. What is fashion week with out a little drama?!? Already can't wait until next season!

Luli Fama 2013: La Dolce Vita Miami
Luli Hanimian and brother-in-law Augusto Hanimian are team behind the swimwear brand Luli Fama. At Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Miami last month they debuted their 2013 collection entitled "La Dolce Vita Miami." You can watch the full Luli Fama 2013 runway show right now on the AWB homepage.
As usual they sent a long list of looks down the runway. The signature triangles, wavey-side bottoms, halters, push-up bandeaus and twist bandeaus all made an appearance in a luxe new range of prints. Luli Fama also introduced some exciting new body styles: a thong bottom, high-wasited bottom, smocked bottom and a padded top covered in strappy details in contrasting colors. The print directions included pastels, florals, tribal prints and polka dots but the overwhlming trend at Luli Fama 2013 was scarf prints. In the past year, scarf print has seen a huge revival celebs such as Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Miami work vintage Versace, Hermes, Ferragramo clothing and accessories in with scarf motifs into their wardrobes. Luli's bright and modern take on the scarf print is guaranteed to be a hit with the fashion crowd.
A range of floral patterns were worked into super-sweet 'kinis with lace and ruffles for the girly-girly girls out there.
Luli Fama swimsuits are always infused with Latin sexiness and flair. The provocative silhouettes, vibrant colors and quality construction has made fans out of celebrities including Beyonce, Cindy Crawford, Shakira, Jennifer Aniston, Leann Rimes, Kate Hudson and Kourtney Kardashian.
AllWetBeachwear.com will carry Luli Fama 2013, look out for it in our "What's new" section.

Agua Bendita 2013: Lovely Heros
Colombian beachwear brand Agua Bendita debuted their 2013 swimwear collection on the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Runways at the Miami Swim Shows last week. This season, the Agua Bendita designers Catalina Alvarez and Mariana Hinestroza dedicated the collection to their team of artisans who hand-make each garment. The collection was called "Lovely Heros" and it was inspired by the 700 men and women that collaborate with the two designers each season to create the innovative and ultra-embellished garments that we all love so much.
The hero inspiration is translated into cowboy, military and sailor prints and pieces. The trademark Agua Bendita beading, appliques and embroidery were all there. And to satiate our appetite for trends several pieces in the line incorporate neon and aztec prints.
Here are some of our favorite pieces from the collection:
