Aguaclara Swimwear Summer 2017

Ready for some beastly bikinis? Just kidding. Aguaclara Swimwear's 2017 show at Miami Swim Week brought out the jungle chic. There were beautiful prints in palm fronts. There were graphic leopard prints and artful variations on stripes. Dramatic cover-ups were embellished with feathers for the parrots and peacocks of the group. Shoestring thin straps were used in strategic ways to lace up or highlight parts of the body.

Aguaclara Swimwear is a Peruvian label built by the sibling team of Liliana and Jorge Villalobos who wanted their country to be a leader in sophisticated, exotic looks as the beach. This season, the monokini reigned supreme on their runway. Sexy cut-outs drew attention to small waists and curvy hips. Bikinis were trimmed in tassels for extra movement when the model walked. The cover-up dresses really looked like dresses one could wear away from the beach. That's always handy at luxury resorts.

Aguaclara definitely had some of the prettiest prints of Miami Swim Week. I am a little intimidated by the minimal coverage of some of the swimsuits for me personally, but they are smokin' on everyone else.
