Vasaro NYSW

 

Capitalizing on the current Barbi trend, Vasaro delivered a Barbie & Brides Runway Extravaganza at New York Swim Week. Showing at hot spot Life Time Sky Pool Deck, Vasaro models strut the runway in  iconic Victoria's Secret-esque Angel Wings and sexy bride inspired pieces. A diverse model lineup showcased an equally as diverse selection of swimwear. Perfect for a typical day at the beach or a special honeymoon moment, the commonality between each piece is that each style and silhouette is empowering to the person wearing it.

HAUTEmele Swimwear

Independence, confidence and style are the foundations of sexy, new swimwear brand, HAUTEmele. Founder, designer and creative director, Emily Gregoriou understands that it is the Brazilians that cut the best bathing suit. Frequent trips to Brazil allow Gregouriou to source fabrics and manufacture her pieces in the country she is most inspired by. Sleek cuts and beautiful photographs turned into digital prints make for special bikinis with a sense of effortless-cool. Luxurious and exclusive, each bikini is reflective of the sophisticated-fun woman who wears it. There's nothing more "haute" than HAUTEmele.
