MIAMI FASHION WEEK: Beach Bunny 2015 Featuring The Blonds

From the very first runway look, it was clear the Beach Bunny 2015 collection was not meant for the pool.  The Blonds, New York’s celebrated design duo collaborated with the swimwear label for an unbelievable fashion show to end the night in Miami.

 A fashion show by the Blonds in New York usually means that the runway will be transformed into the fiercest nightclub.  Their over the top looks are sought after by the likes of Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry to name a few.    Their work with the Beach Bunny collection continued in this tradition.

The 1970’s hair, bombshell eye makeup and galactic fetish outfits looked like they walked straight out of the movie Barbarella.  It was a genius move to put a big fan on the end of the runway so the models would have the wind blowing through their sex kitten hair.  The beauty looks were styled by Tresemme’s Tyler Laswell. 

The fashion incorporated everything from holographic fabrics, metallic studs, neon and jewels.  There were heavily embellished corsets paired with simple bikini bottoms.  There were bikini tops with corset lacing details.

Some of the suits clearly were not meant for retail. Others cleverly mixed lingerie details with functional swimsuit fabrics for a very sexy (but wearable) collection.  You might have to look underneath the oversized spiky bracelets and thigh high stilettos to see it.  Trust me, the male members of the audience would be happy to. 

Beach Bunny and The Blonds have created a killer swim season for this planet or the next.

MIAMI SWIM WEEK: Beach Bunny and the Kardashians Spring 2011

The Kardashian sisters, in collaboration with Beach Bunny Swimwear’s Angela Chittenden, debuted their swimsuit collection - Kardashians for Beach Bunny in Miami at the elegant Raleigh Hotel Friday.

This was a collection where it was easy to imagine the Kardashian ladies wearing. Some unusual color combinations were saffron yellow V-cut suit with a plunging navel neckline held with a gray toggle belt. There were Missioni-esque prints paired with toggle belts. The collection offered hot bikinis with the fun details like little sparkly ‘bling’ embellishments, candy colored side tie bottoms and lots of shine.

These suits are amped up for sexy, fit bodies and were not geared for the shy of heart. The presentation featured dangerous V-cuts and teeny monokinis on the models that resembled the Kardashian body type, (as in ‘booty-flattering’). Bottoms with shirred seam down the middle of the back accentuated their signature assets.

If you are a beach bunny, this is the line to get for your next stop in Miami, Vegas or Ibiza - fun, sexy, and just enough coverage on the bottom. This collection screams HOT but may not be suitable actual swimming! It’s perfect for lounging on the pool decks of hotels like the Gansevoort (where the FAB team stayed) to take in the sun with a cocktail in hand.

The line also had a series of black lace suits with strategically placed flesh toned cutouts. MsFAB and I had to do a double take on a few of the models as they walked down the runway. But, it did the job. It got our attention.

The Beach Bunny show was a showstopper. The cavalcade of press, photographers, celeb gawkers almost crushed the Kardashian sisters who sat front row for the presentation nearly causing a riot. Selena Gomez of Disney fame was also seen with the famous siblings.
