A Sea of Color: Triya Rio de Janeiro Fashion Show

Walking on a rainbow would be my best way to describe the Triya fashion show at the Rio De Janeiro Fashion Week 2012! In Brazil this past week, many designers showcased their Summer 2012 collections but one in particular caught my eye in a big way! The Triya Swimwear Fashion Show was so amazing to watch because not only were the colors of the rainbow displayed in a unique runway design, but the swimwear itself was truly unique! Bright colors paired with intricate designs put a new spin on swimwear! With looks ranging from bikinis, tankinis, and one-pieces, many of the swim suits had interesting patterns and prints while others had great use of cutouts all throughout the design. Triya really stepped up to creating a collection that was very different then other swimwear lines which can be so hard to do with such little fabric!

Along with the wonderful colors of the collection and the runway, the makeup for the Triya fashion show was just as colorful! With tribal inspirations, the makeup on the models was literally like oil pastel paintings around their eyes. Their makeup resembled rough brush strokes on a canvas and it was truly beautiful! Bringing these kinds of colors together made this show look more thought out and was displayed as if it were art. Such a dessert for the eyes and you can’t help but want more!

Fringe Bikinis Here We Go!

 

Okay okay so I realize that it’s still technically “winter”, but I can’t get summer off my mind! So in light of my summer craving, this week’s style tip is focused around fringe bikinis. I’ve been seeing them EVERYWHERE and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t dying to buy one. If you’re like me, jumping into a new trend is a little scary at first. No worries, I’m going to show you how to work your way into this one.

For those of you that want to try this trend out in a subtle way, take a look at this fringe bikini. It’s a super cute black bandeau top with a hint of fringe running along the bust line. Cute but not over bearing!

This is my personal favorite. Get a little more daring in this stud and fringe bikini. I love that the fringe extends past the top of the bathing suit. Definitely a strong way of getting into this trend.

This is absolutely the extreme of the new fringe bikini trend. Bold. Yep, that’s all I have to say. Bold.

Whether you’re the kind of girl to go full throttle into a trend, or work your way into one there is a super cute fringe bikini for you. My only concern is what kind of tan line I’ll get because of this trend. Haha I’ll keep you posted :)
