What a week–hot, hot and more hot!
Miami was incandescent with heat, both in temps hitting 100 degrees, and on the catwalks and daily fashion shows previewing next year’s swim and beach fashions for all the world’s buyers, press and agents to see.
As in every year, prevalent themes emerge and others wane–the fash mag editors will be filing those pieces once they kick the sand out of their suitcases– but the overall feel was glamor, vintage and brights, with neon and animal still popping in.
Just two years old, Kikidoll 2012 is channelling an endless summer 70′s surf chick vibe–Day-Glo and Popsicle acid colors in solids and bold tropical flower-child prints; geometric Polynesian tattoo symbols and vintage native artisan crafts inform the signature Hawaiian prints all designed by Kikidoll’s founder Kiki Farmer.
Born in Honolulu, Kiki draws on her idyllic childhood spent on Waikiki Beach, where surrounded by the islands’ lush flora and sea life, she is continually inspired by the pristine elegance and barefoot chic of living in paradise.
The 2012 swimwear collection features racy pompom edging on cheeky cut bottoms; eyelet -laced hipster boy-cut shorts; cutaway or laced tanks with interchangeable separate bandeaux and drawstring bustiers. For after-beach wear, resort pieces reference the Hawaiian muu muu in an updated hippie silhouette with bohemian ruching, crochet, eyelet and laced ties. Beach skirts and silky hoodies to the knee all carry the look from beach to bistro. With elements of tie-dye, sun-faded plaids, embroidered appliqués, coconut shell beads and tiny sea shells, mingled with crochet—these make up all the iconic hallmarks of the 70′s laid-back beach style of Waikiki wahines.
